Giveaway: 2010 Vintage Book Calendar

by Curator Beatrice on December 17, 2009

Yesterday’s exhibit of the latest and greatest 2010 calendars on Etsy has spurred one of my favorite things: a midweek giveaway!

Remember this fantastic calendar made from up-cycled vintage books?

The Fancy Lamb has designed this little piece of happiness as a spin off of her successful line of journals:

A fun new take on my vintage book journals! This 2010 weekly calendar has been up-cycled from a vintage Reader’s Digest book, and contains a custom designed week-by-week calendar with plenty of space to jot down your appointments or make a note that you’re sure to otherwise forget.

And with this array of amazing colors, who can resist?

The inside of the calendar is a fabulously functional week-by-week calendar that was custom designed for The Fancy Lamb, and also includes eight pages for notes in the front and back of the book.

The winning Stalker of this giveaway is going to be the proud new owner of one of these Vintage Book Calendars. To enter, head on over to The Fancy Lamb and enjoy browsing through the myriad of other items listed there, then return here to comment on your favorite item. We’re doing something new on this one, though: you can enter once per day, so return every day and leave us another comment. The winner will be chosen at random next Thursday, December 24th. Good luck!
