Our Favorite 2009 Art Calendars

Our friend Holly, at her Decor8 blog, inspired this post. These are some of our favorite new calendars this year. After each month, the images from all of these would make great framed wall art!

Pawprints on The O List

The Pawprints Frame from Pearhead is being featured on Oprah's O List. As dog lovers, we think this kit is just fabulous enough to put on our "H List".



One side of the mat holds a photo of your faithful friend and the other showcases a pawprint that you take with the kit included. Love that.

New Swing! Animation Book

Swing! - the new "Scanimation" book by Rufus Butler Seder was released this week and is finally in! His first book - Gallop!, has been unbelievably popular. Swing! uses the same animation technique as the first book, but this time, we see animated kids swimming, riding bikes, skating, etc.

Here's a video that shows Gallop! in action...

Pig Out With Pomaireware

We're excited to be stocking this line of clay cooking and serveware from Pomaire, Chile. These pieces have been produced by artisans in Chile for generations and are lead free, unglazed, and distribute heat evenly while cooking and serving. They are oven-safe to 450 degrees and can even be used on the stovetop with a diffusor.

But best of all, Pomaireware is fair trade.


The Pomaireware Pig Baker/Casserole Dish is pictured above.
