Beautiful 2010 calendar

As we are barreling towards the end of the year I thought it would be fitting to blog about a beautiful calendar that I noticed in Kate's Paperie (a fabulous paper and stationary chain in the State of New York). The gorgeous letterpressed calendar is by Linda & Harriett.


There are 12 fully letterpressed months, tied together with a double-faced satin purple ribbon. The reverse side is designed so it can be cut and used as a post card.
Unfortunately they have sold out of the calendar from the website, but it's possible that Kate's Paperie might have a few remaining.

All the creations are designed by Liz Coulson Libré, who like many of the people I feature, happens to live in Brooklyn, NY. What a creative city this is! She started in 2005 creating pure custom hand-stamped invitations, and then in 2007 launched Linda & Harriett as a custom letterpress company. In her words she designs lines of "luxurious paper goods that are simple, unpretentious and fresh – but never cutesy, frilly or boring. Injecting a good sense of color and fun into her designs, Liz provides personalized attention and love for every product she produces." Here is a small sample of her work, to see more, please see her website.

I really, really love her stuff and I look forward to see what she produces in 2010. I have friends arriving tomorrow night to spend Christmas with us, so I'm unsure if I will get a chance to blog before Christmas, so if I don't - Happy Christmas & Holidays to everyone!
