A couple of years ago an art director friend gave me a gorgeous holiday gift: A calendar from The Dolphin Studio of Stockbridge, MA. I have since started giving them as gifts myself, and now receive an annual reminder when the next batch is hot off the press. The calendars are screen printed with original art by the ffrench (not a typo) family and began as a husband-wife project, which, over the decades, has grown to include children, sons-in-laws and grandchildren (you can read more about the clan here.) The pages are richly hued, pack a punch on the wall and are impossible to get rid of at the end of the year (I saved mine to use as wrapping paper). In short: a beautiful, handmade product with an endearing back story—my favorite type of gift.
