Snow & Graham recently launched a lovely new website design to showcase their equally lovely work. No surprise that I found several new paper cravings as I was perusing the new site. Hey, it looks like they’ll have three different calendars for 2009! Some of the Snow & Graham pretties:

Egg Press has created not one, but two, calendars for 2009. They have a gorgeous and sophisticated letterpress calendar (excerpts shown above), featuring textures and patterns with pops and hints of color against a chic white backdrop. And they’ve also released a swoonworthy offset printed calendar, containing fantastic, colorful patterns and illustrations. The most difficult thing will be choosing which one to buy.

Eco Friendly Paper : Night Owl Paper Goods 2009 Desktop Calendar

August 21, 2008 // kristen // 0 replies

I realize that it’s a bit early to be talking about 2009 calendars, but I’m starting to see some fantastic ones and can’t help but talk about them now! Plus, the end of the year will be here before we know it, and getting a new calendar a bit early will give you a head start.

Drool…Night Owl Paper Goods’ 2009 desktop calendar is a work of art, and I know that I would look always forward to flipping over to a new month so I could see what wonderful illustration awaits me. The wooden calendar features folksy, original illustrations and is made from sustainably harvested birch, douglas fir, and walnut.

And I also have to give mention to the adorable “Corny Raccoon” card because, well, it’s adorable:
