Still looking for the prefect calendar to keep you organized and on track for 2012? Perhaps the offerings of Eye Poetry, a fine art photography studio run by Irene Suchocki out of Montreal, are just the thing. Featuring images from Paris, NYC, and other beautiful locales, Irene puts it best when she says you can, “treat yourself to a new poem for the eyes each month.” Though the new year was ushered in quietly around here, I’m thinking the Wild Horses calendar makes the right statement for what 2012 has in store!
Just when I think gift giving is done, January is right around the corner. With that comes a boatload of birthdays (7 in total!) and it is tough to keep them all straight. With the help of Faye & Co., I can cross some things off my list. Like who’s gift goes to whom, with these hand-lettered gift tags. Pair that with some custom stationery to say “Happy Birthday!” and I’m all set. And to help you start January on the right foot, Faye & Co. is offering free Shipping with the code allcomefree.

I am always a fan of a fruitful collaboration, and this one is no different: Fabien Barral, a graphic designer and owner of Harmonie Interieure in France, and Lettera Magica, a letterpress house out of Poland, have paired up to create the 2012 letterpress calendar project! The limited edition calendar (only 500 copies!) features 12 monthly compositions to help its new owner understand design and designers. I’d hop to ordering now, as last year this calendar sold out. Besides, 2012 is just around the bend.
It is hard to believe winter hasn’t even started with some of the temps that we’ve been seeing around here. While I’m lucky the icicles and whipping winds have held off, it makes me a little dreamy for winter scenes. Think bundled strangers going to and fro + crazy crystals hanging low, threatening danger to all who cross under their path. For now, I’ll indulge in the treats from Urban Revisions to give me my winter fix. The hand shredded scarves look mighty toasty!
