Taylor Black Calendars available at 2nd Sunday on King Street or online.

Part art, part schedule, part remembrance of things past. Every room should have a calendar of its own, and so should every holiday gift list. Here are some of our favorites.

1) Taylor Black Designs. The color palette of Charleston in lovely intuitive strokes and Taylor’s signature gold highlights. This calendar, like many art products, comes unbound, and the pages are perfect for framing. Look for Taylor on the bricks at 2nd Sunday or order via her website, taylorblackdesigns.com ($48) Other artists we love are Kai Andreas Skye formerly Brian Andreas ($20, remember Story People?) Vicki Sawyer’s birds with flower hats ($38) and of course…

Charleston: Water and Skies 2022 calendar.

Charleston: Water and Skies 2022 calendar.

3) Yours! We all love photos, you have a thousand on your phone. At Parabo, save $10 and support CPPT With promo code 2SUND.

Because when it's all said and done, everyone should pay attention to the beauty and richness of their lives… Do what lights you up. It's much simpler and easier than you think. Brian Andreas.
