A Fresh Start

New year – new calendar. This time round I bought one for myself (last year’s calendar was a gift from my sister), and left it rather late in searching for one. There seemed to be a curious dearth of calendars, but perhaps I didn’t go to the right stores. In any case, I usually do like the Frankie calendar, with its selection of twelve artists that vary every year, and who have previously been featured in the magazine of the same name. The illustrations are always quirky and fun.

January’s calendar is by the textile designer and craftsperson Esther Sandler. I like the cool, leafy jungle setting for summer. The lighthearted image is perfect to create a fresh mood for the first month of the year.

However you begin 2017, here’s to hope and anticipation, and promises, joys and ambitions fulfilled. Happy New Year!
