A 2017 Engagement Diary

For Page-A-Day calendars, there’s Gretchen Rubin’s A Happier 2017 and The 365 Smartest Things Ever Said (from the team behind the 4.7-million-copy bestselling The 365 Stupidest Things Ever Said).

Another theme for this season’s list is a contagiously fun attitude, exemplified by the debuts of It’s Different Every Day (literally, every day is different) and the irresistibly snarky wall calendar It’s Just Not Your Day. All Page-A-Day calendar purchases come with a free bonus digital calendar. And remember: All standard Page-A-Day calendars are now printed in vibrant two colour.

He may look like a wildcat bounding right for you, but big boy Jaxon is actually a big cuddler. He’s also resourceful: The five-year-old Pixie-bob has extra toes, which enable him to use his paws like hands to pick up things and feed himself, according to owner Shari Rife. Pixie-bobs are known as the Golden Retriever of cats, and he exhibits this trait by carrying toys from floor to floor in the house. Jaxon began life in the northwest United States, where Pixie-bobs were first bred, but now resides in Shari’s Vernon, Connecticut, home. BANK HOLIDAY (UNITED KINGDOM) LABOUR DAY (QLD AUSTRALIA)

Spotlighting the energetic and adorable winners of the 2016 Dog Calendar Contest, 365 Dogs is the calendar that keeps dog lovers in their happy place, all year long.

HAPPY ENDINGS Abandoned as a skinny, hairless stray on the side of a highway, GinGer found a new home with Diane Thomas of Durham, NC. Diane recalls that it didn’t take too long for the sweet mix to get used to the good life— and for Ginger, the good life means the beach. Whether she’s sitting on the sand watching waves or “chillin’” in a pair of shades on the deck, Ginger thinks that any time at the beach is a good time.

FASHION AND BEAUT Y After World War I, women began riding astride instead of sidesaddle, and fashionable equestrian wear was redesigned accordingly. Women now wore modern divided skirts or generously cut breeches, while men still donned formal riding jackets and jodhpurs. As the decade progressed, riding clothes became more casual, with narrower trousers and less structured sweaters.

Questions to Ask Yourself

The Power of Planning

Architect Frank Lloyd Wright observed, “A true home is the finest ideal of man,” and the challenge lies in that word true. What would be true for you? What would make your home a happier place?

Dwight Eisenhower observed, “Plans are worthless, but planning is everything.” Take time to do some helpful planning—whether that means what you’ll eat for dinner this week, what dates you’ll take a vacation, or where your career is headed.

3 Tips for Handling Criticism 1. Listen to what a critic is saying. Really listen, try to understand that point of view; don’t just nod while you formulate retorts. Acknowledge fair criticism. 2. Delay your reaction. Count to ten, take a deep breath, sleep on it, wait until the next day to send that email . . . any kind of delay is good. 3. Admit your mistakes. If you accept blame when you deserve it, people are more likely to give you responsibility.

A Horned Lark watching over her chicks. And a closeup of a Ruby-throated Hummingbird’s tail feathers, shimmering in shades of blue, yellow, and green. Celebrate the jewel-like songsters that alight on our bird feeders, flit through our yards, and fill

every day with beauty, music, and joy. Showcasing a large photograph at the top of each month’s spread and smaller images throughout the grid below, this calendar offers birders the thrill of a daily sighting. The exquisite images capture their subjects’ vivid colors and most subtle details; authoritative text describes species characteristics, songs and calls, migration patterns, habitats, and behavior.

udubon works to protect birds, not only because they are beautiful and awe-inspiring, but because they are a crucial link in the chain of life. Just as canaries protected coal miners in the past, birds alert us to threats in our environment today. The vast distances they travel, and the diverse ecosystems on which they depend, make them unique barometers of our planet’s health. If birds are at risk, so are people, and so is the intricate web of all life on Earth. When we help birds and their habitats, we help ourselves.

The best advice is not to write what you know, it’s to write what you like. Write the kind of story you like best— write the story you want to read. The same principle applies to your life and your career: Whenever you’re at a loss for what move to make next, just ask yourself, “What would make a better story?”

There’s the refreshingly honest: “I just really hate doing stuff.” The blasé: “Seize the day, or don’t. Who cares?” The downright glum: “It will probably get worse.” And, finally, advice with attitude: “Just give up.” The marriage of full-color, vibrant art and uninspiring sayings is both unexpected and hilarious.

When baby sloths have been especially good, like Biscuit here, and have eaten all their beans, they sometimes get a special treat: a delicious hibiscus flower. Sloths love to eat hibiscus—they nom, nom, nom with big sloth smiles on their faces.

2017

hese guys are born to hug. From Lucy Cooke, the “Steven Spielberg of sloth filmmaking” (The Atlantic), the Sloths Calendar celebrates unabashed cuteness with a year of the creatures that have been cultivating quite a following (watch out, kittens and puppies!) with their furry, slow-moving, and bizarrely adorable ways. Each month is a fullcolor photograph that captures sloths’ sweet spirits and laid-back appeal. Here they are in baskets. In trees. Sniffing flowers. In cuddly sloth piles. And just hanging around upside down. Charming captions offer sloth facts, along with a glimpse into life in the sloth sanctuary.

he Washington Post declared “sloths are the new kittens,” and the success of Sloths Wall Calendar—a sellout in 2016—supports that bold claim. How could these slow-moving, sleepy, and eminently cuddly animals possibly get any more adorable? Introducing the new Sloths Mini Calendar, boasting a wee 7" x 7" format that enhances the cuteness. Hang it on the fridge, in a locker, in your cubicle at work. Here are sloths stretching. Sloths hanging upside down. Sloths dozing. Sloths smiling enigmatic smiles. The full-color photographs, accompanied by sweet captions, bring fuzzy feelings with every glance.

ompanies high and low clamored to get a piece of the guitar boom of the 1960s. One of them was the Maurice Lipsky Music Company of New York, an importer and distributer that, around 1967, introduced a line of Japanese-made knockoffs of models by Vox, Guild, Fender, and others. Lipsky marketed the Domino brand using the language of the times—“Lightning Fast Action/Psychedelic Sounds/Elegant Mod Styling”—and the outlandish claim that “today’s ‘top rockers’ know that only DOMINO can bring today’s BEST LOOKING, RICHEST SOUNDING instruments into their lives.” This candyred, solid-body Domino Baron is a beauty. Originally selling for $75, it’s reminiscent of a Gibson SG but with a quasi-Fender headstock, four—count ’em, four— pickups, and a tremolo bar. Unknowable at the time, the guitar boom had reached its peak in 1966, and Domino, already on the fringe of guitar respectability, disappeared after one year in business.

THE COLLECTIBLE TEAPOT & TEA CALENDAR Text by Shax Riegler Photographs by Martin Brigdale

TEA && TEA

ith 900,000 copies sold lifetime, The Collectible Teapot & Tea Calendar celebrates the timeless tradition of afternoon tea: the companionship, the dainty and delectable treats nibbled between sips of tea, and the beautifully arranged table with an exquisite teapot at the center. The charming and quintessentially British AGA teapot stars in a homey spread with fresh-baked cupcakes. A romantic scene for Valentine’s Day: a 19th-century set with intricate scrolling, alongside roses and raspberry tarts. And a Burslem self-pouring teapot with delicate gold accents provides a lovely twist on the classic blue willow pattern. Accompanying Martin Brigdale’s gorgeous full-color photographs are tidbits of history and lore written by Shax Riegler.

n 1717, Thomas Twining opened a tea shop for ladies in London, the first of many such businesses to give women a reputable place for refreshment when they were away from home. Just a few years later, the Vauxhall Pleasure Gardens opened and became the first of many tea gardens where people of all social classes met, drank tea, and enjoyed concerts and other entertainments. Tearooms became a staple in cities all over the world, some offering the luxurious ritual of High Tea. Slightly exotic variations were so-called “Gypsy tearooms,” where refreshment was often served with a side of fortune-telling. In the wonderfully evocative novels of Dawn Powell, characters frequently pass such establishments—with signs out front advertising “Tea Leaves Read Gratis”—and debate whether to go in. If they did, they might be served tea from a pot such as this one from about 1930. With its lush roses and gilding that would glint in candlelight, it is easy to imagine it helping to conjure a mysterious mood. T H E

hese American bison (or buffalo), browsing in a meadow below Wyoming’s Teton Range, are survivors. In the 1800s, the species was nearly exterminated by the campaign against Great Plains tribes to open the West to settlement. The buffalo, North America’s largest land mammal, was intrinsic to their cultures and ways of life. Within a few years, unrestrained hunting decimated the massive herds of this migratory grazer—estimated to have numbered in the tens of millions—which once thundered across the continent’s prairies. By 1902, less than two dozen truly wild animals remained, shielded in Yellowstone National Park. Today, the population is about 500,000, with most in captivity. Around 20,000 are deemed truly wild. In 2014, eleven tribes in Canada and the United States signed a landmark treaty to restore bison to more than six million acres of grasslands in their control. The pact marks an important step in mending historic wounds to the Native people, the species, and prairie ecosystems.

fter the snow of the Alaskan tundra thaws, Tall Cottongrass (Eriophorum angustifolium) is one of several cottongrass species that take its place. These plants beautify and benefit life around Denali National Park & Preserve’s Mount McKinley, shown here. The perennials spring up in expansive colonies throughout the bogs created by snowmelt, producing soft, white puffs of flowers. Their densely bunched stems form tussocks, which provide denning habitat for voles and nesting places for birds such as Lapland longspurs. The plants feed an array of tundra animals, including caribou, lemmings, ground squirrels, snow geese, and willow ptarmigan. Part of the sedge family, it derives its name from the Greek words for “wool bearing.” The fluffy flower heads are composed of silky “cotton” fibers that help to disperse the plant’s seeds in the wind. This fiber has been made into yarn, wicks, fabric, and pillow stuffing. Top photo: Tall Cottongrass [Josh MiLLer] Bottom photo: Tall Cottongrass [a rterra picture Library/a LaMy iMages]

Who’s Minding the Bird Feeder?

favorite woodland sprite and backyard denizen over much of the northern two-thirds of North America, the Blackcapped Chickadee (Poecile atricapillus) often adds joie de vivre to time spent outdoors—or even watching outdoors from inside. Curious, engaging, and sometimes downright bossy (if the feeders are empty), chickadees readily adapt to many human-altered environments. In our yards, they quickly learn the lay of the land, the positioning and status of the feeders, and who fills the feeders. Chickadees in general often provide the spark or “aha” moment that can cause children to appreciate nature or even become bird-watchers. The confiding nature and feeder-attentive behavior of chickadees combine to make some of them especially fearless of humans, and an outstretched hand with birdseed in it can become just another bird feeder to chickadees frequenting backyards. The experience of having a wild bird land in an offered hand is a real thrill to a birder of any age!

It’s a delightful tribute to the backyard songsters who bring their color and music to every day.

“

o a kitten, furniture is a personal jungle gym—something to scale for a better view, to skulk around, or to leap onto en route to someplace even higher, such as the top of the fridge. The problem is that kittens use their razorsharp claws to climb, and sometimes they consider you part of the furniture. So what do you do? Clip your kitten’s nails regularly—and make the procedure as enjoyable as possible by giving a toe massage first. Provide kittenonly furniture, such as judiciously placed scratching posts, and maybe a climbing tree. In time, your kitten will learn the difference between what is his and what is yours—and what’s fabric and what’s flesh.

very day, discover another reason to love Italy, the country that draws more repeat visitors than any other. The bestselling calendar with 1.2 million copies sold, 365 Days in Italy is like a yearlong tour with Patricia Schultz— author of the phenomenally successful 1,000 Places to See Before You Die series—as your expert guide. Get lost in the charms of a dozen diverse, history-rich regions. The gondolas, weathered facades, and labyrinthine streetscape of Venice. Friuli, from the sandy beaches of the Adriatic coast to snow-capped mountains and medieval cities. And the iconic and always spellbinding images of Tuscany: fields of sunflowers, cypress-lined lanes, fruit trees and vineyards as far as the eye can see. With hundreds of photographs by Steven Rothfeld and Patricia Schultz’s detailed text, this is a tribute to the spirit and singular beauty of Italy.
