Paper Source 2009 Letterpress Desk Calendar

Paper Source Letterpress Calendar

I’m so thankful to live in an area where I can wander into a physical Paper Source, but I have to admit that it’s very difficult for me to stay focused after I’m in the door. I almost always have something specific that I’m looking for when I go, but I inevitably end up dazed and confused after a few minutes.

Do I look at the greeting cards? The wall of gift wrap? The ribbons and embellishments? The stamps and paper punches? The glues and glitter? And it goes on and on…until my brain is overloaded and I’m just about laying on the floor in a pool of my own drool.

However, I had a rare moment of clarity during my last visit, when I spotted Paper Source’s beautiful 2009 letterpress desktop calendar amidst a display of the 2009 Snow & Graham calendars. Who knew that giraffes and retro-inspired Christmas trees would snap me right out of my my paper goods induced daze?! Seriously, though, it’s a great looking calendar.

Ilee 2009 Calendar

After seeing what Ilee came up with for their 2008 calendar, I’ve been waiting with anticipation to see what they would do for 2009. Well, I don’t have to wait any longer, and neither do you because the new creation is for sale!

Ilee has done it again, creating a calendar that’s more like a work of art, with 8 months printed with a letterpress and the other 4 a mix of silkscreen a foil stamping. Giraffes, silhouettes, florals, vintage-inspired illustrations…this calendar has a little bit of everything. And October is an absolute must see (awesome!):

Ilee 2009 Calendar

10% of the sale of each calendar will be donated to a not-for-profit corporation called “Specialized Options for Disabled Adults” and also to orphanage in Thailand, so not only will you be purchasing a beautiful calendar, but you’ll be helping two good causes.
