One of my monthly magazine buys is Home Companion and if you're not a regular reader you should definitely check out the latest issue (Dec05/Jan06) to see the article about the *ffrench family and their handscreened calendars. The artist couple, John and Primm ffrench, have been producing them for 35 years and it has become a real family affair. I'd love to order a set but I have a feeling they are way out of my price range so I can only admire and be inspired. There are more examples in the magazine so be sure to take a look, you won't be disappointed :)
*the magazine says "two lowercase F's equaled one uppercase letter among the Normans who came to Ireland in the 15th century."
