I have an advertising calendar from a company in Scotland that makes Gas Detection instruments. It has large pictures of various spectacular scenes with a small map showing where in Scotland the place is located. Below that is a description of the area, listing the Clan, the tartan, the motto, and a sample of the Tartan. My favorite is: Castle Stalker, Argyll & Bute... Castle Stalker is perched on a low, rocky outcrop at the mouth of Loch Laich, an inlet on the east shore of Loch Linnhe. This rectangular keep was built by the Stewarts of Appin in the 13th century and, in more recent times, featured in the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail. Castle Stalker's Gaelic name is Stalcaire, which translates as "hunter" or "falconer". The Clans of Scotland- Location- Dalmellington; Tartan- Cathcart; Motto- I hope to speed.  :D :D :D

I got a Disney Princess one hahaha...Its one from the Royal collection, basically their dresses have a ton of fancy trims and embellishments. good inspiration for my upcoming big project. It hangs on the only available wall space in my dorm, which happens to be right above my "sewing table" (desk provided by my school hahaha)
Things are shaping up to be...
Pretty. Odd.

I *love* Anne Taintor.  :) I've been known to bust out in a fit of laughter in card shops when I come upon some of her stuff. I use her notecards, but for my calender...well...I haven't bought one yet! I usually make a trip to my favorite asian market in Tampa just before the holidays and they give me their new years calender. It's really beautiful with really gorgeous Chinese nature prints. I didn't make it this year...so for now I'm virtual.

every year I hold up the Lady Cottington's squashed pressed fairy calendar and every year I tell myself that it's not appropriate for the kitchen. I settle for a folksy Debbie Mumm one every year.


GoodyTombshoes, I think you should go right out and buy yourself the squashed fairy calender.  :)

Fun topic! I also think which calendar people choose is a great insight into who they are! Unfortunately, this year my calendar is more like an insight into my budget, lol! I wanted Star Trek or dogs or something. But at Michael's they had calendars on sale for $1, so for work I got one with butterflies. It's pretty but not really a passion or anything. :) I did splurge on the one for home - bought it yesterday at Target for 50% off, and it is The Office.
Masquerading as a normal person day after day is exhausting.

The only place I use a calendar is at work.  So I got a free calendar from the local bank.

Cool topic
In my real office I have an awesome wildlife one that I got from my insurance agent.
On the desk I have a huge free one I got from one of our parts supplier.
At home (havent figured out where to hang it yet) I have a beautiful calendar my dad bought for me in Paris- it is all different water color and oil paintings of famous Parisian sights by day and night- its beautiful. When the year ends I will cut out the different images out and frame them.

DH and I get each other a Scotland calendar each year.  This year (without knowing it) we both picked the National Geographic version for one another.
But I'd be SUPER interested in the one above.  BubbleWright: Care to share how one might order/request one of those calendars??

I think this year is classic cars. I would like a tribal fusion bellydance calendar, maybe something with Rachel Brice and Zoe Jakes in it...

Well Lassie... Since you have an inside track on things Scottish, I propose a trade, as the likelihood of obtaining another one of these is rather slim. Were I to buy a calandar for myself, it would probably be one with mechanical things such as classic autos, or aircraft, or steam trains. Surprise me. My email address is in my Profile... send me your snail mail address and I will reply with mine.
