The perpetual calendars are done! It was a mad rush to get enough packaged and ready for the Sunday Best Holiday Sale over the weekend. I'm sorry I never actually managed to post that I'd be there, but I couldn't – to be honest – really figure out how to do so with my oh-so-fancy iPhone. I swear, that phone is smarter than me. I did actually TRY to post from my phone to the blog, but it didn't work and I gave up. In any case, I did end up going, after all, and I am really glad I did. There was a great turnout and it's always nice to meet customers in person.
I came home with some lovely things from Pigeon Toe Ceramics, some handmade soaps, a pair of earrings like these, only with a different stone, and a new winter coat (one that I've been eyeing for some time now that happened to be in a store right across the street from The Ace, where the show was, and on sale to boot!) And is if that were not enough, I also go to go eat at Toro Bravo with some lovely friends.
Anyway, about those perpetual calendars ... I really like these, a lot. These are perfect to give or keep – because there are no days of the week attached to the dates, they're meant for recording birthdays, anniversaries and other important yearly events. I think they'd also be lovely for jotting down snippets of your day. They ended up being a bit more work than I had anticipated, particularly the washi ones – each small swatch of paper has to be glued, by hand, one at a time – so I've had to reprice them. Instead of $28, they are $33 each, but I am still offering a special deal if you order one of each – $60 for the pair, plus they can fit in one kraft mailer together so you'll also save on shipping. Each calendar is beautifully packaged in glassine and sealed with patterned Japanese masking tape.
