I've had the Americana Calendar on my dining room wall every year for a couple of decades now. The calendar squares are large enough to keep track of your plans if you're doing it the old-fashioned way instead of using an electronic device of some sort. Charles Wysocki's charming art always makes me smile. I especially love his neat little New England villages.

This is my wifes favoriite calendar. I get it for her every year as a "special" Christmas present.
The illustrations are great and she frequently cuts them up after the month is over and frames them.
Order early. They always run out!

When we moved to California 26 years ago my mother-in-law, who lives in MD always had a Charles Wysocki calendar hanging in her kitchen. When we went for a visit, I enjoyed the pictures and the large squares to write things in. That Christmas she started sending them to me. I am now back in MA and have picked up the tradition and now send them to her. I have even kept all my past ones that tell a story of two boys now 21 and 23, play-dates, visits to "nanny and pop's" and many more treasured memories. I highly recommend it!

I got the first one several years ago while on vaction in Maine. Have ordered one yearly ever since. I just love the look of them.

I have been a fan of the late Mr. Wysocki's work for as long as I can remember. His paintings so evoke the true spirit of America and make you wish you could just step into one of them for the day and enjoy a carriage ride, an ice cream cone, and explore each and every one of his charming shops, barns and houses. I love his work so much, in fact, that since the 1980's I have never thrown out a single one of his calendars (and have even framed a few of my favorites). What a true treasure we lost with his passing but, happily, it's great that every year we can count on falling in love with his work all over again.

This calendar is a perfect compliment to country decor. It is true whimsical folk art typical of Charles Wysocki. It's size fits my wooden calendar frame. There is space on each day to write a memo or appointment. Quality paper makes it a keepsake.

I love this calendar!!! I have bought it every year for the past 20 years. It's beautiful, homey, colorful, and gives you plenty of space to write things on the calendar boxes.

We bought 6 of these calendars and had them shipped to 6 different locations. The calendars were not available and delivery was forecast for mid-January. Several days later delivery was forecast for late December. A week or so later we were notified that all would be delivered 3-5 days before Christmas and they all were. We appreciate Amazon's efforts to make that possible without any request from us to pull up the delivery date.

The calendars are beautiful and just what we've become accustomed to. It has been a tradition for us to send Wysocki calendars for Christmas gifts and they fill the tradition beautifully.
