  1. Oh…my…God. I wasn’t even going to buy a paper calendar for my desk at home in 2012. I got a cool photography calendar from Elle Moss for my office, but that was going to be it. I was going to be all digital at home. Then you had to go and “ruin” my plans. And worse! Now I have no idea which one of these to buy! How can I pick just one? They are all SO cool!

    Thank you so much for sharing!

  2. These are just amazing! Love the Typodarium one, and of course… the Bubble calendar. Great finds!

  3. very cool! Love the tea towel one

  10. I LOOOOVE the Ghin.co.uk calendar. I also love this one: http://www.theadventureschool.com/store/52-2012-naturalist-almanac.html by Free Time Industries. They both remind me that time is round and cyclical. This beginning and end thing is not really what we need.
