Greetings Everyone!
As you know Amber Lotus publishes beautiful calendars using my fairy house images. You can find them online in several places including their own website, Amazon, Barnes and Noble, etc. plus they usually can be found in Whole Food and other natural food stores. They have two sizes, the big and glorious wall size (12 x 12) and the cute little mini (7 x 7 ) for small spaces but both are basically square pages which, when the calendar is open requires a long space for hanging it up – 12 x 24 and 7 x 14 respectively.
Some of my customers have asked if I could make another calendar that has pages in a horizontal format….and thanks to the good folks at Lulu, I have. And, to make my customers even happier (hopefully) it comes in two versions, one with the titles and short descriptions about each house or the wordless version which has JUST the images, no text at all. Here are example pages from each version so you can see what I mean:
Here are the pages for the version that has a title and brief description below each image: (you can click on any image for a larger view, toggle left or right to see the full collection)

And here is the gallery for the version that has images only for the full page:

The actual calendar month page is clean and simple and I’ve added only a few “natural” holidays: the Solstices and Equinox for the with-text version, and just Earth Day for the wordless version.
The calendar is printed on nice, heavy stock and is spiral bound for easy hanging. The calendar is 8.5 x 11 inches unopened, and is 11 x 17 inches opened.
There are many benefits to ordering your calendar from Lulu:
- each calendar is printed per order so there is no waste for landfills at the end of the year
- Lulu will print your calendar using their closest printing partner to potentially save you money on shipping.
- Lulu offers multiple shipping speed options for those last-minute shoppers
- The quality is excellent using heavy-weigh paper thru the entire calendar
- You can order calendars for your friends and have them shipped directly to them, just order each calendar individually
- If there are any issues with the print quality, Lulu is quick to resolve your problems and usually will re-print for free (though problems with printing are rare)
So if this sounds like something you’d like to get, and you know which version you want then you can use these links below:
Order the wordless (no texts) version HERE
Order the title and text version HERE
HANDY TIP: Watch for coupon code offers from Lulu which will appear at the very top of the page if they have them and be sure to apply the code to your order. Plan carefully because the coupon is usually good for only one use. Sorry, but I have no control over the coupons/discounts.
Enjoy!

I love your works, it’s so rare nowadays to find some dreamy, authentic and soulful works of art that bring back childhood. Please write a new book or reprint your 2017 fairy houses book, it’s currently limited or out of stock on Amazon. I look forward for your next book. ^^ Best wishes to you, and please keep the spirit! It’s amazing.

Hi Irma,
Thank you soooo very much for your warm and kind remarks! I just checked the Amazon website for my book and it seems it is back in stock today, the 27th of November, 20202 but I do know from the publisher that they were getting near the bottom of available copies in their main warehouse….after they run out it will be much harder to find online, sadly unless they go into re-print which would be wonderful if they decide to do this. However, I am at this very moment working on the final stages of another book that has been a long time in the making but it will focus on all my land art creations. After that, I want to do my own photo book of just the Faerie Houses….I will be sure to let my readers know of any and all news as far as new books and products are concerned. Thank you again for your support!
Bright Blessings all around you and yours,
Sally
