Away They All Flew

Mark how quickly time passes with a colorful Annie Catherine monthly calendar. In just two years of being in business, artists Annie Darling and Catherine Breer have taken their Portland, Maine, designer stationery company to national acclaim. The wall calendars (medium-size poster-weight paper, $27) and desk calendars (pictured here, $16) feature prints of Catherine’s acrylic paintings. Choose from a collection of flowers or New England scenes. A hammock swings in the breeze, poppies bloom, roofs poke above a village center’s treetops … each evocative image will remind you to slow down and enjoy life’s moments. 207-771-7871. anniecatherine.com
