As you may have noticed, I love vintage graphics, especially from children's books and magazines. I found this wonderful vintage calendar project in the January 1954 edition of Children's Activities magazine.
Not only are the pictures for each month charming, but the dates from 1954 fall on the same days of the week for 2010 . So you can actually use this for 2010 and give this calendar and charming graphics a new life.
I plan to color mine in with colored pencils and hang this in my craft room. This would also be a sweet gift to tuck in a stocking!
Please download a copy for yourself or for gift giving and I wish allof you a Merry Christmas!

Jane, These are wonderful! I have downloaded them, and can't wait to use them in my paper crafting. I wish you the best of weeks heading into the holidays! Elizabeth

Thank you for this! I was born in 1954, so this is a treat to see this calender and to find out next year is the same!

This is wonderful! I was born in 1954 so now I know I am a Thursday's child.....how did that poem go???? Is it "far to go" or "full of woe" ??? Or who cares, right? LOL

I am so glad everyone is enjoying the calendar! Like the cobble whose children have no shoes, I have not even had time to making one for myself! LOL!
Sandy - That is extra fun for you! I think I am a Thur. child as well, but from a different year.
