My 22nd Victoriana Calendar
I'm not sure when Cynthia Hart first started producing the VICTORIANA calendar but I know I first bought mine for the year 1989. The 2010 calendar has the same quality and beauty as its predecessors. As usual each month has a theme and January begins with pigs. While I think swine are a new subject for the calendar, eating pork on New Year's is supposed to bring luck, so hopefully hanging this calendar on January 1, 2010 will make an auspicious year for everyone.

January's pigs are followed by a traditional Valentine Day motif for February. March is spring like with butterflies predominating and children, pansies and other flowers playing supporting roles. April brings bunnies and eggs followed by babies and young children for Mother's Day and May. June comes in with roses and other ornate Victorian themed pictures. July shows the bounty from gardens with fruits and vegetables fancifully sprouting human faces. August will please feline lovers with its many cats and the little girls that love them. September is particularly lavish with a fancy back to school theme. Black cats, mice, jack-o-lanterns, spiders and some beautiful autumn flowers herald October. November features old fashioned travel scenes (visiting relatives for Thanksgiving?) highlighted by lovely chrysanthemums and December is appropriately lush with a traditionally clad Santa, toys, and other signs of the festive season.

As usual a small 24 page "birthday book", a year at a glance standup calendar and four Victorian style postcards for use at Valentine's Day, Easter, Christmas and a birthday are included. Major holidays for the US, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, United Kingdom and Ireland are marked on the wall calendar along with the more well known Jewish holidays. Phases of the moon are not included. The 2010 Victoriana calendar is a beautiful way to keep track of dates that will add joy each month of the year.

BACK FOR MY "2010" VICTORIANA CALENDAR
I haven't purchased them yet but I will be in September like I have done every year since the very beginning. I'm not quite sure what year was the beginning but I think it was around "1980" something. I use one for home and one for my cubicle at work. I am so happy to have read from the previous comment that the desk calendar has been included for 2010 because last year it wasn't.

Victorian Calendar
I bought this for my mother who has a victorian house and the calendar is lovely! The extras in the package make this even more special. I would recommend to anyone who decorates in this style.
