Reusing Vintage Calendars

Here's a handy chart for determining which calendar years repeat each other. For 2008, the following calendar years are the same: 1924, 1952, and 1980. A nice way to recycle and enjoy a vintage calendar. If I find any vintage calendars matching 2008 that are free and in public domain, I'll post them.Here is another site, the perpetual calendar which indicates that the years: 1828, 1856 and 1884 are also the same as 2008.

1884: Kate Greenaway Calendar


1950 Calendar










There are few matching years for sale on ebay, Ruby Lane and Wagglepop.
Also search for calendar towels...Vera made some pretty ones in the 1980's. They can be easily hung on a wooden dowel. Here is a 1980 linen one at Ruby Lane of a Kitchen Prayer. I also saw one there with owls.
