Belated Christmas Gifts

Yesterday I had a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. So you can imagine my delight when I came home and there was a package for me sitting on our front porch! When I saw the box I instantly knew what it was: Christmas presents! It may be a little late but after Peter and I returned from our trip I ordered my friend a letter press calendar that I had been eying for quite some time–and since my mother taught me always to give gifts that you would want to receive, I ordered one for myself as well. Here’s what the package looked like what I cut open the box:

Complete with a little note from Pistachio Press, the Etsy seller that I ordered it from.

Pistachio Press was inspired by vintage tea sets to create the delicate designs that grace this year’s calendar. The pages are attached with a gray ribbon (my favorite color) for an elegant, feminine touch.

Here’s the lovely image that Peter and I will be looking at on our wedding month!

I opted to put the calendar in our office simple because it’s too pretty to procrastinate hanging. I’m not sure if this will be the calendar’s forever home, but for now I think it really softens some of Peter’s boy decor.

The best part of this purchase–Sarah, look away– is that I managed to buy the calendars for 20% off because I waited until after the New Year to make my purchase. It was difficult worrying that I may come back from my vacation to find them sold out, but the price cut made it worth it. Have you bought yourself any belated Christmas gifts?
