Help us Celebrate 40 Years of Mother - Daughter art In 1986 Linnea Riley created her first illustrated Poster Calendar, chronicling her life in Aspen and the different beats of each month and season. What started as a one woman operation in a guest bedroom grew into a small family business deeply rooted in art and tradition, shared in homes, offices, and classrooms across the world. For forty years, Linnea Design Calendars have helped friends and families mark the seasons and stay connected. Over the years, our company has grown right alongside our customers. When Johanna joined the business in 1998, a new generation of artwork and energy became part of the story -- while still honoring the heart and style that began it all. This Retrospective Anniversary Edition celebrates that shared journey: past and present, mother and daughter, tradition and fresh perspective. To mark our 40th Anniversary, each month features a special double-sided poster: one side showcasing Johanna's artwork and the other Linnea's. You may choose your favorite to display, switch mid-month for a fresh look, or display both side by side. The calendar has been carefully arranged so that each poster pairs with a complementary month on the reverse -- offering flexibility while preserving the full year of art. However you choose to enjoy it, we hope this edition feels like a celebration and connection shared between us all. Our success has always been rooted in you -- our loyal and wonderful customers. Your enthusiasm, letters, and continued support have made these four decades possible. We are deeply grateful to be part of your homes, offices, and time-honored traditions. Cheers to the next 40 years! From our families to yours, Happy New Year! Linnea Design JOHANNA RILEY'S ILLUSTRATIONS JANUARY (2018): Setting some Japanese paper lanterns aloft to symbolize our good wishes for the new year. Paper Lanterns signify joy, celebration, good fortune, longevity, and they have a role as protectors from evil. FEBRUARY (2019): What's your type? Who wouldn't LOVE to discover a smart, sweet Valentine surprise like this in one's typewriter on the morning of February 14th? MARCH (2017): Another symbol of Spring, the bunny in his Easter best, hopping down the bunny trail. APRIL (2010): In April’s gentle light, a branch of budding quince blossoms lifts my mood with the quiet assurance of spring. MAY (2017): A bouquet of sweet peas for May, blooms of gratitude, admiration, and affection for the ones who nurture us most.

AUGUST (2018): Kayaking in the quiet of the Puget Sound is a gift for all the senses. The surroundings, the pull of the paddle through the water, the freshness of the air, the reassuring sound of lapping waves, and the serenity is a state of being I desire. SEPTEMBER (2014): Back to school and back to art! Even after all these years, my heart beats a little faster at the sight of fresh new paint brushes!

MARCH (2003): A brave little climb into brighter and greener days! APRIL (1999): Rain, Rain, Rain! It's hard to keep your feet dry no matter who you are. MAY (1998): This is the month of Mother's Day and 1998's Ms. Duck and her brood continue to be recalled as our best effort at illustrating motherhood. JUNE (2001): This June Bug Poster from 2001 is our single most favorably commented on month ever, and so we happily bring them back for another round! JULY (2003): I love to see the school children, now free as birds, in the park sailing the rental boats, with not a care in the world. AUGUST (2007): Vacation! What a feeling of excitement there is in setting out on the open road with no schedule, no cares, to see the country and its wondrous diversity. This is the chance to get up close and personal with all sorts of new people, and perhaps recharge your faith in humanity and country. SEPTEMBER (2005): The perfect pair (of pears) OCTOBER (1995): Crows are always busy, always talkative, often arguing over their travel plans.
