Help Me Prove Patrick Wrong.

Patrick and I had a bit of a... difference of opinion when I was ordering the 2009 calendars

I thought we needed to order 500 calendars in order to get the volume discount that would bring the price down and because I wanted to be sure that everyone who wanted one got one. Patrick thought that 500 calendars was waaaayy too many- like 400 too many- and that we would be stuck with umpteen jillion of them at the end of the year.

The thing is, we have about 400 calendars left, and despite my protestations that it isn't calendar season yet, I have begun to grow concerned that Patrick may end up being right.

Obviously, we can't have that. I would never, ever, ever, EVER hear the end of it. EVER. 

Come hell or high water, I WILL sell the majority of these calendars before the end of the year or die trying.  And, because desperate times call for drastic action, I am reducing the price on the 2009 MVFF Calendar to $10.  

I hate to make it so cheap, because it's a really, really nice calendar. I'm quite proud of it, actually. So please understand that it only priced this low because I am a spiteful, petty person who can't stand to be wrong. 

If you'd like to help keep Patrick from being able to say "I told you so!" order one or two or ten calendars by clicking right here.

I would be doing the. Exact. Same. Thing. If it were Ian and I in that boat. Off to buy a calendar or three!

I bought one when they first came out but I'll buy a couple more for Christmas presents to help you out. It's going to be nice to look at your pictures all year!!!!

Susan, I tried ordering 2, but I think my order only went through for 1 ... can you send me an invoice for the extra $10 and whatever you need for shipping?? (I figure shipping for 2 is less than shipping for 1, and don't want to go through and order one a second time and end up paying more for the USPS....) But, either way, I DEFINITELY bought one!

I think something is not working quite right on etsy. i couldn't add to my cart (said added but the cart was empty) - will try again. It also said only 65 left so I'd better hurry.

Parisa, try deleting your cookies from your web browser (under Tools or Preferences) and see if the Etsy cart will work. I just ordered two without any problems. I'm excited to get pictures of little lambies!

It's magic! I go to buy a calendar and end up with a calendar and enough natural cormo worsted for a sweater!

I already got one when I bought my CSA share! They are a wonderful calendar.

I bought my calendar when they were first available; the pictures are just wonderful. I have hidden it in my desk drawer so I don't spend all day gazing at the pictures and daydreaming instead of working. I can't wait until I allow myself to hang it on the wall in January. LOVELY!
