Wake up! It’s (almost!) the New Year! The 2026 edition of my Desk Calendar is here! This monthly desk calendar features original pen and watercolor illustrations of seasonal, everyday objects and scenes to add a little joy and pop of color to your desk, mantel, or bookshelf. Enjoy flipping the card each month to reveal a new vignette, from my corner of the world to yours!
A few highlights this year include:
a well-worn deck of cards
blooming peonies - my favorite sign of the start of summer
Portland Maine’s beloved Casco Bay Lines ferry
a nod to the cherry blossoms of my DMV roots
an apple cider donut to kick off fall
and some cozy slippers to round out the year
This project began with a sketch-a-day challenge I assigned myself in September 2020 in a moment when I most needed a daily routine and creative boost. I turned my favorites of those sketches into a small batch of desk calendars as gifts for my friends and family. In subsequent years the project grew through a partnership with Taproot Magazine. This year, thanks to continued encouragement from friends, family, and loyal customers, I’m excited to offer my 6th iteration of the monthly desk calendar. I hope it will bring you some joy and cheer in the new year!
Product Details: 12 5×7 inch month cards, a cover and backing page, printed on heavy stock, tucked into a clear sleeve for easy gifting
Display:
This is designed to be displayed in a small wooden stand. Many of you already have one from years past — option to include wood stand or not. Please select accordingly! It also looks great on a bulletin board, in a frame, or on the fridge.
Shipping:
Now available for preorder - calendars will begin shipping November 19.
Portland, Maine folks - pick-up/delivery is preferred. Please select that option at checkout and I’ll contact you directly to arrange a time. Thanks!
