Welcome to My Retro Calendars Lens!

This lens has a huge assortment of calendars with new retro art, vintage photographs and vintage artwork. You can find both new calendars with vintage-inspired art and old calendars that are very collectible dating from the thirties, forties, fifties and from other decades. This lens also features art posters, metal signs, books and other retro gifts with classic calendar-style art. The new calendars here have original but vintage-inspired artwork and some have reproduction art; and there are some old calendars dating as far back as the 1930's. If you know of a hard-to-shop-for person, keep in mind that calendars make great Christmas gifts for almost anyone, and we all know it is never too early to start Christmas shopping!

Book Description
Do you feel a sin coming on? Do you want to look cheap? Do you ignore your mother's well-meant advice? Anne Taintor is speaking your language. This first-ever collection of her wildly popular artwork celebrates the pleasures of being bad in a good girl's world. Taintor's sassy, saucy creations pair vintage illustrations with witty new slogans, and her well-mannered women enjoy deliciously less-than-well-mannered thoughts. ("Had she made him suffer enough...how could she be sure?") A collection of Taintor's best-loved images on the fun and folly of romance, I Can't Be Good All the Time includes nearly 100 images of nice ladies saying exactly what they mean - and it isn't pretty. We never said it would be pretty.
