Somehow or other I've become a dedicated fan of all things Arts & Crafts, to the point where I've organized vacations to get tours of the Gamble House in Pasadena (it's worth it!) and William Morris' home outside London. Getting a calendar of Morris' designs was a no-brainer; I imagined that it'd be a calendar version of, say, Textiles of the Arts and Crafts Movement. Which it is.

Each month shows a 12" view of one of Morris' designs for fabric, wallpaper, or whatnot. It's a one-to-one view so it's just like having a 12" swatch hanging on your wall. That's nice, and it's also a little odd; I keep wanting some sort of frame for the photo as it's edge to edge fabric. But they are certainly very pretty, and will comfortably adorn my office wall throughout 2011.

Incidentally, it's a good calendar too, from the "don't leave out obvious holidays" perspective. But you probably weren't too worried about that.

I buy it every year. I hope the Brooklyn Museum never stops making it. I can't wait for my life to go by so I can see the new design each month.

I am very pleased with my 2008 calendar selection. Great collection of William Morris to pop on your wall.

I purchased this calendar for my office. The designs are elegant and feminine with lovely muted colors that blend well with any decor.
