Customer Reviews

I order my Victoriana calendar every fall
A gorgeous Victoriana calendar has hung in my kitchen every year since 1988. Each month's "picture page" is loaded with "antique paper items" that extend on to the page with the calendar itself. A theme appropriate to the season is presented every month with moms and babies in May and Santa and all the trimmings featured in December and so on. This year (2008) I was a little disappointed they don't have a Halloween theme for October (children is the focus) but I do especially like November which features both fruit and dogs. The major Christian and Jewish holidays are all marked as well as secular celebrations in the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand and Australia as well as the U.S. A date book, some greeting cards and a small desk calendar have been included the last few years and while nice some new choices for us annual buyers would be appreciated as these extra items have been the same for awhile. I also would enjoy seeing the phases of the moon marked on the calendar though I do have other sources for that. The Victoriana calendar is also very recyclable in crafts and activities. I'm a teacher and I just used some of my old ones with my students to make lovely Mother's Day cards.

Not as nice as usually is.
I have purchased these calendars a few years now. Was not as well done as before. Less art bigger calendar. I would not buy it if I saw the inside first.

great Calendar - better every year
I get the Victorian Calendar every year and have them for about 10 years. They are beautiful and can't bear to toss them. If you love Victoriana, you'll love this calendar!
