I’ve got a thing for vintage perpetual calendars. I’ve been smiling at this one every morning since it arrived on my doorstep…
It came packaged in that cute, little cardboard box…all the way from my friend Mary’s shop.
It’s not only one the happiest-little-things-I-ever-did-own, it’s super easy to operate too…
Those are the metal messages I found as I flipped from February to March. They were such a sweet surprise!
Why Tennessee, you ask?
‘Cause like Lloyd Christmas said to Mary Swanson, I like it. I like it uh-lot.
We’re switching around and/or renovating several rooms in the house right now (fresh photos & low-dough renovation & decoration ideas coming soon!), and what will soon be our new home office/studio (formerly our guest bedroom), could really use a little perpetual pretty too. Here are some neat ones I have saved in my favorites file…
Too bad it doesn’t work! 🙁
And although this one’s not perpetual…it sure is purrrrty…
My pointer finger just couldn’t resist punching the purchase button on it this morning.
If everything goes smoothly with our adoption plans, this year’s gonna be an exciting one for us to remember, and those wooden wonders are gonna make for great-lookin ‘art with heart’ around here somewhere.
When all the dust settles, that is.

In LOVE with that Flickr one. Wish it was for sale and I had all the money in the world because I am sure that baby isn’t cheap! Can’t wait to see what you’re up to. I know it will be great!
Sweet- I may need to go on the hunt and find a couple of those calendars for myself.
Happy Day
What a cute calendar!! I love it 🙂 Thanks for sharing all the other cuteness too 🙂
What super cute calendars!! I love them all:)
Those are really cool. I really like ruler one.
What a sweet little calendar!
Yay! Love the TN calendar! ’cause I live outside of Nashville!!!
But all of them are really cute. The green tree with the tags is really cute too!
Can’t wait to see what’s going on over there!!!
OMG! I love it! I went straight to etsy and found one for myself. It was even a vintage Las Vegas one…my hometown! I can’t wait to get it 🙂
Thanks for bringing back so many memories! I hadn’t thought about perpetual calendars (nor seen one) in ages. Great compilation!
Can’t wait to see all the things you are working on Layla. It is definitely going to be an exciting year for you two! 🙂
What a cool post. Thanks for sharing.
awwww! i am in love with your tennessee calendar. i’m from nashville/franklin and miss it so much! (i’m in atl now!) we actually just got back from a visit on sunday…and i hated to leave! 🙁 can’t wait to see all the projects you have been working on!
Ooo….I cannot wait to see what you two are up to!!! = )
I love the fact you like Dumb and Dumber movie. That is a classic in my house with four teenagers. Great post!
I love the Tennessee calendar! You know, I was born and bred in Tennessee. . . it’s a great state! When I was a little girl, the signs at the state line all said, “Welcome to the Three Great States of Tennessee.” They took those down years ago, but West, Middle, and East Tennessee do almost seem like different states.
It’ll be fun to see what’s going on at TLC after the dust settles. Of course, I love seeing your photos even when things are still dusty! 🙂
What great pieces! I especially love the Salesman Hardwood from Modern Fifty…and the Dependable Letterpress Calendar. I embarrassed to say I don’t totally understand that one. You guys have a such a great eye for antiques!
I have one that’s exactly like the flickr one except mine is in much better condition. I use it on my desk at home! I’m lucky to have a father-in-law who loves to bargain antique and dumpster dive and he finds me all sorts of neat little treasures. Then I put them all around my house and mother-in-law says I’m just encouraging his silly hobby. Ha!
Can’t wait to see! I’ve been dying to see how you completed your barn door. My husband and I have been talking about doing the same in our kitchen. I know everything will be fantabulous!
I didn’t realize calendars could make me swoon like that – thanks for sharing these awesome finds!
how many perpetual calendars is a bad thing? haha.
i think i’ll take all of these, please!
So cute!! I’m a Tennessee girl and would love to find another calendar like that first one. Any tips on where we could score one?
jealous of your finds! I love Jim Carrey. I wanted to marry him.
I own the dependable letterpress calendar. It is even more gorgeous in person than in photos! So fun, love these!
What a great collection of calendars. The one from Patina White is absolutely gorgeous and I know right where it can go in my house.
Can’t wait to see the finished projects you guys have going on! I know they will be fabulous.
I love them all 🙂
Can’t wait to see what fabulous spaces you’re creating!!
What a great collection. I am a calendar collector also. I found a great one for this year on Etsy.
Oh My Deer handmades. Her blog site is ohmydeerhomemades.blogspot.com. Hand made and beautiful. Gave as gifts this year.
I love, love, love the Tennessee calendar. I was born and raised in TN, and it is my heart. I would love to be able to find one fo those.
My Nana and Grandpa had a perpetual calendar similar to the Modern 50 one (theirs was horizontal). I was the only one that ever changed the date so it always reflected the last time I visited them. I now live 500 miles away. Grandpa is no longer with us and we’ve come close to losing Nana this past year. I wonder what happened to that calendar. I’ll have to ask my mom to keep an eye out for it. Thanks for the memory!
I like your calendar…and Lloyd Christmas…a lot. 🙂
The calendars made me smile! I met my husband on Sunday, Feb 15 – 30 years ago. We were married on Saturday, May 22 the next year. Thanks for sharing!
And we lived in Memphis when were first married – what are the odds!
Love this post. So great. Great, great, great.

Okay, Im hooked. Something I have to start collecting.
Awww….thanks so much for showing off your cute little calendar! You are the BEST my friend, we really have to catch up one of these days! I hope all is well…so excited for you with all you have going on…in the house…and in the heart.
;o)
Happy Day to you and Kevn!
Mary
You and Kev are just the sweetest things. Seriously. I feel like I am coming home when I check your blog. Thanks for the posts. Anxious to see what you do after the dust settles on your current renovations.
Now you have me wanting my own perpetual calendar; something I didn’t even realize I wanted until I read this post. =)
