time for new calendars

As we draw towards the end of another amazing year, it is time for me to get my 2015 poster calendars ready for you!  They make great holiday gifts — just roll up, tie with ribbon, and pass along with your love and best wishes for the coming year.  

My calendars are big and bold (12 x 18 inches) and printed locally on 100% recycled paper (good for you AND the earth) and are available in my etsy shop, at Artzi Stuff in downtown Nanaimo, or at the Pier Gallery Christmas Sale here on Gabriola on December 13 and 14th.  Or contact me directly to place an order (I offer bulk discounts so let me know if you want a bunch).

Which one do you like the best?  Perhaps you cannot decide….if so, just get a couple and make sure both your home and office have a fun calendar on the wall.

and introducing a slightly different style for the new year (with the help of some cheeky oystercatchers)….

wild spirits tonight

Happy All Hallows Eve to you and yours!  I just picked up this painting from my amazing artist friend Tammy Hudgeon…I had set it aside in honour of my wild daughters’ shared birthday.  It seems quite fitting also for this spirited night…and it is so SPOOKTACULAR that I had to share it with you!  Hope you and your wild spirits have some fun tonight!

hello october

october calendar by nikki mcclureThere was much excitement as we turned the page on our calendars today.  The girls are vibrating as they repeat “27 days until our birthday!” and then, of course, there is the Halloween buzz too.  I love this time of year, when the leaves start to change colours and we pull out our long ignored sweaters and toed shoes.  The crispness in the air is often balanced with the heat from a sun with reminders of the summer we so enjoyed. We are settling into this new season gently with promises of cozy crafting and story time by the fire.  Nikki McClure‘s October calendar page is just so perfect as we love going to the beach to catch the golden sunshine at this time of year…..and one of our favourite things to do is make mermaid fairy houses while we are there! Setting autumn leaf boats afloat is such fun too.   Tell me, how do you most like to play during this magic season?
