Introducing the 2026 Desk Calendar
It’s here, friends! I’m so excited to introduce you all to 2026 Desk Calendar!
If you follow me on Instagram then you know I’ve been working on this little calendar for over a year. Each year we sell out and it feels so special to me that so many of you enjoy gifting and receiving this little calendar.
This is the 5th year I’m offering the calendar and this one is just so special! With each year I grow as an artist and, of course, I’m always trying to get better. I’m excited for you to see the adorable animals and coastal illustrations. You’ll have to let me know if you have a favorite! There are some NEW special features with this year’s calendar.
Introducing the 2026 Desk Calendar
Give the gift of watercolors for a full year and beyond. The 2026 boxed calendar is a celebration of each season – a red squirrel, pretty starfish, a wave yacht ensign, and so much more! A whimsical watercolor illustration on each calendar page.
- a 5 x 7 inch gift box with an illustrated band.
- 12 month cards on premium textured card stock.
- Watercolor illustrations by me.
- The handmade pine stand to showcase the calendar made by Luke.
- Made and Printed in Massachusetts
What’s New This Year?
There are so many new features this year that I’m so excited about!
Custom Navy Boxes
First of all the custom made navy boxes made in the US and embossed with a silver Finding Silver Pennies logo. The calendar and stand fits perfectly inside and it feels like a little bit of luxury. You know how happy blue and white makes me!
Redesigned Handmade Calendar Stands
The pine stands are hand crafted by my husband Luke and they can hold ALL the calendar cards at one time. This was something you all requested and we were happy to oblige.
As you know, Luke is my biggest cheerleader and supporter. He always helps me at markets and will be at all the holiday markets again this year. Thanks, Luke! I honestly don’t know what I’d do without him.
Double Sided Calendar Cards
So many of you told me ways you upcycle and reuse the calendar illustrations that it got me thinking. What could I do so you the calendar could be enjoyed beyond the year?
Each calendar card is double sided – on one side is the calendar with the small illustration and on the reverse is a 5 x 5 print that can be framed or used in the stand.
Made in Massachusetts
I create all the watercolor illustrations in our sunroom and Luke hand crafts the stands. I put together all the calendars and refill packs at our dining table.
I also need to give a special shout out to my amazing printers – TPI Solutions Ink! They are wonderful! The paper almost feels like watercolor paper and has a lovely texture. The prints look just like my original watercolor paintings. TPI Solutions Ink is a third generation family owned business, that’s been running for over 60 years! I highly recommend Carrie and her team if you’re looking for a good printer. We were featured on WCVB Channel 5’s Made in Mass earlier this year.
We have more fun things coming your way!
Where Can you Find the Calendar?
You can find the calendar in our online shop from today 9/17 and it will be heading to our small retailers. I am so grateful for the support of all the small independent shops who have supported me and my artwork. Please shop small this season!
We will also have calendars at holiday markets and shows in the coming months.
I will say that we have limited quantities and don’t want you to miss out. So order / shop early! We sold out last year.
Refill Packs
We will have a limited number of refill packs available in our online shop. This option is for people if you don’t want the full boxed set or the pine stand.
The refill packs are the 12 calendar pages and an insert card. This set DOES NOT include the gift box or wooden stand.
Some Ideas for Your Calendars
The calendars make wonderful gifts – perfect for swaps, friends, family! You name it. I have mine on my desk right by my computer. I’ve had lovely comments from customers telling me that the little calendar brings them so much joy. I love hearing and seeing how you’re enjoying the calendar throughout the year.
