Having purchased the Cynthia Hart calendar for many years, I can only say that each year is a new treat! Her way of creating the monthly collage of Victoriana makes the calendar a joy to view no matter what the month is. In recent years she has added extras that are included with the calendar, a small yearly calendar, post cards and a special day book, all delightful!

Ms Hart's calendar has been my fav over the past 12 years. As always, this is so much more than just a wall calendar with beautiful Victorian pictures.

*There is a Day Book that fits into a lot of day planners or purses. Since it just lists the days, I use it for a "birthday/special days" book. I also give extras as gifts to those I know enjoy Victorian era items.

*Then there is a standup calendar showing the entire year at once. I always kept that at my work station. I receive many compliments throughout the year on how unique it is.

*If that were not enough, included are four postcards that are suitable for framing, if you choose to not mail them.

If you like Victorian, should you buy this, you will get one year after year. Most likely you'll want one for yourself and another to give as a gift to your Victorian lover or Cynthia Hart fan friends. I can't recommend it enough. I save mine each year and use the lovely photographs for crafts such as altered items or frame and have given some as gifts.

As in past years, Ms Hart has another hit with this lovely gift packaged calendar.

A gorgeous Victoriana calendar has hung in my kitchen every year since 1988. Each month's "picture page" is loaded with "antique paper items" that extend on to the page with the calendar itself. A theme appropriate to the season is presented every month with moms and babies in May and Santa and all the trimmings featured in December and so on. This year (2008) I was a little disappointed they don't have a Halloween theme for October (children is the focus) but I do especially like November which features both fruit and dogs. The major Christian and Jewish holidays are all marked as well as secular celebrations in the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand and Australia as well as the U.S. A date book, some greeting cards and a small desk calendar have been included the last few years and while nice some new choices for us annual buyers would be appreciated as these extra items have been the same for awhile. I also would enjoy seeing the phases of the moon marked on the calendar though I do have other sources for that. The Victoriana calendar is also very recyclable in crafts and activities. I'm a teacher and I just used some of my old ones with my students to make lovely Mother's Day cards.

Without a doubt, a beautiful calendar. I, too, have purchased this calendar for years and always save them. I gave a 4 though because it didn't include the little date book this year (2009), which really got more practical use than the large calendar itself. I was very disappointed. Scrapbookers, you will be very happy because there are quite a few sheets of scrapbook prints, cutouts, and themed papers included instead.

I get the Victorian Calendar every year and have them for about 10 years. They are beautiful and can't bear to toss them. If you love Victoriana, you'll love this calendar!

I have enjoyed Cynthia Hart's Celendars for several years. I live in an old Victorian house and this wall art fits in perfectly.

Have been buying this calender for many years and have been delighted every one of those years. Beautifully produced and illustrated and a delight to look at every month of the year. I recommend this product without reservation.

I've been purchasing these calendars since the first year they came out and they're so lovely that I never throw them away. Besides the great visuals each month, the package contains some charming collectible postcards. If your interests are ephemera, Victoriana, paper dolls, or you're into altered art I think you'd find this calendar interesting.

This is a totally unique calendar which is totally covered with Victorian art even on the bottom half. It is a masterpiece to hang in any room. Have bought it for years!!

I have been purchasing Cynthia Hart calendars for 10 years and have never been disapointed. Each one is as beautiful as the last! Will keep collecting them as long as she keeps making them!
