Seasonal Stationery: 2014 Calendars, Part 5

Today I thought I’d sneak in one final 2014 calendar round up before we dive into holiday card round ups early next week! Can you believe Thanksgiving (and the end of November!) is already upon us? Crazy! For this final calendar round up, I’m feeling inspired by bright colors and bold graphic patterns… from romantic watercolor to vibrant letterpress to striking black and white!

Inspired By: Rose Gold

Since we’re already on the subject of beautiful metallic foil today, I couldn’t help but think of my current favorite metallic hue: rose gold! Don’t get me wrong, I still love gold, silver, and copper, but there’s something so soft and romantic about rose gold. I just can’t get enough, from jewelry to stationery to utensils. I’m looking forward to seeing lots, lots more beautiful rose gold over the coming months!
