Happy New Year everybody!
So, it's time to get out your new calendars, right?
Or - if you have a perpetual calendar, you are already set to go.
I have wanted one of these vintage calendars from the 1960's (seen below in the first photo) for YEARS.
I finally found one on eBay. The colors on this one would not have been my first choice, but I love it anyway.
I have seen this calendar pictured in rooms in my vintage Seventeen magazines, and when I find those photos, I will do another post about them and share the pictures.
It may be a bit the worse for wear - but it's not going anywhere. It's staying right here.
From my mother-in-law's hometown of Hanford, California:
The Alphonse Mucha calendar by Pomegranate Press is the only new "regular" calendar I have for this year.
It hangs over my desk - my favorite; I get one every year.
I got this one for Christmas:
It's old - but I'm not sure how old.
Not in perfect shape, either - but I have no intention of parting with it! Even with a magnifying glass, I cannot make out what the little emblem says on it:
What's YOUR favorite calendar?
Do you have a specific favorite that you get every year, as I do?
Whatever type of calendar you have, let's hope the coming year is a great one for all of you!

Every year I get a calendar of Tuxedo Cats. I have a real one and just love the ones in the pictures on the calendars!! Your calendar collection is very nice!!!
I used to always get a Mary Engelbreit calendar, but my 2015 calendar this year is outhouses. It just struck my fancy. I have a perpetual calendar from the Methodist Episcopal Church in Placerville which you can see in my post from July 1, 2011, but the year only goes to 1909. I also have one of the little spinning desk calendars like your last one which is permanently attached to a desk lamp. Very enjoyable post. Happy New Year! Love T
I always get a Charles Wysocki calendar for my dining room and the Victoriana calendar for my office. (It always comes with freebie Victorian cards.) Then I have a hard time choosing from all the gorgeous calendars which one I will hang in the kitchen and actually write on. This year I chose the Lang Hummingbirds and I also got an Audubon Wildflower calendar for my bedroom. Happy New Year!!!
Sunnyana: I know the Wysocki calendars well, they're always fabulous. I used to get Cynthia Hart's Victoriana calendar every year, too, - and I love it, but I realized it was ridiculous to have TWO calendars hanging in my bedroom, since the Mucha one is also in there over my desk! So I quit getting it - but I have saved all of them! I know the Lang Hummingbirds one must be gorgeous!
I love cats and have a sleeping kitten calendar for this year. A couple of years back both my husband and my parents got me calendars for Christmas - Elvis and Shoes respectively. It was bit awkward for them but I loved them both. I like the idea of a perpetual calendar - especially one which is nearly 100 years old like your one. I am going to make boxes from the pictures from old calendars so I can still enjoy them.
