It's that time of year again--the new year! Need a new calendar to keep track of your days? We have these beautiful 2026 calendars with scenes from Norway framed by rosemaling. If you prefer something that will last for many years, we also have these lovely perpetual events calendars. Plus, we found a few old 2024 and 2025 calendars in our storage that we're giving away, so if you'd like to have some fun old calendar pictures to use in scrapbooking or the like, come on by and pick up a free out of date calendar before they're gone! Happy 2026 🥳🎉
