My list of awesome 2010 calendars just keeps growing, and today it’s time for part two (part one is here). Keep them coming!

A rainbow of colorful, modern botanical silhouettes awaits in SusyJack*’s 2010 wall (below: top) and desktop (below: bottom) calendars:

Saddle Stitch Studio’s colorful calendar is full of fun shapes and modern patterns, and once each month has passed, you can cut out the design to create an A2 sized flat card which can be framed or sent to a friend. So clever!

Pretty blues and illustration inspired by Royal Copenhagen dishes, Scandinavian folk art, and the intricate tile work of San Diego’s Balboa Park have come together for this swoon worthy, poster sized letterpress wall calendar by Sycamore Street Press:

2010 Calendar Roundup, Part 1

October 15, 2009 // kristen // 10 replies

Alright, everyone, I can hold back no longer. I cannot get over how many awesome 2010 calendars are out there, and at this rate the roundup is going to be half a dozen parts. But this is great, because it means more options and eye candy for everyone! I have to pace myself, though, so today I’ll just be posting part one.

What I love about so many of these calendars is that they can easily be turned into framed art after the year is over. This is what I’m planning on doing with my favorite 2009 calendar images, and pretty soon I’ll probably have a wall full of art that was formerly a calendar. Bonus!

Now, without further ado, here’s part one of my 2010 calendar roundup:

The always anticipated Ilee letterpress and silkscreen calendar:

Lovely modern printed and die cut calendar from A Little Hut:

Letterpress calendar from One Canoe Two, featuring wonderful hand drawn and painted illustrations:

Beautiful modern illustration and color in Egg Press’ 2010 offset printed desk calendar:

Bright, lovely patterns feature prominently in Linda & Harriett’s calendar:

Love the purple and orange color palette and folk inspired illustration in Dutch Door’s letterpress calendar:

Elegant, modern letterpressed illustrations from Parrott Design Studio:

Whimsical, colorful illustrations in yaelfran’s 2010 printable calendar:

Beautiful simplicity from simplesong designs:

Daisy P Paperie has four pretty calendars this year, each with its own unique look and feel:

Bright and bold patterns in JHill Design’s 2010 Places I Have Never Been Wall Calendar, also available in a desktop version:

And I know that I’ve mentioned these previously, but I wanted to make Night Owl Paper Goods’ birch wood printed critter and pattern calendars a part of the roundup, too, because they’re just cool:

Be on the lookout for part two, coming soon…
