2013 Calendar Round-Up

It is hard to follow the somber air of Kate’s post this morning.  Thank you, Kate, for eloquently stating how many of us feel.  In an attempt to bring something cheerful and bright to your day, I decided to share a round up of a few of my favorite 2013 calendars.  As I sought out great holiday cards for a previous post, beautiful calendars kept catching my eye.  Here are a few of my favorites:

Rifle Paper Co. Calendars. Fruit calendar available at Anthropologie.

Calendars by Linda & Harriett

Calendars by Snow & Graham

Lotta Jansdotter’s Fabric Calendar, One Canoe Letterpress Calendar, Heather Lins Stitch the Stars Calendar

Purchasing a new calendar always makes me reflect on the year past and look forward to the one ahead.  My mind fills with memories and goals and wonder as I dream about what’s to come.   In 2013, I want to find a way to make my life more purposeful.  Whether that’s something to better the lives of others or simply pursuing a personal passion, I have yet to find out – perhaps it will be both! But I have found that the constant repetition of the 9 to 5 leaves me feeling empty and lost.  While I have yet to find away around the hum drum that is daily life, I have realized that I need to fill my free time with things that bring meaning to my life.

Do you buy a calendar every year? Any great calendars that  I missed?  What are your goals for 2013? What memories will you bring with you from 2012?
