TINY HOUSE REUSABLE DESK CALENDAR

Tiny House Desk Calendar - 2024 Cottagecore Wooden Cottage - Planner Flip Calendar Stationery - Cute Cat Kitten Home Decor Work Gift

When I sat down and tried to design a normal desk calendar... well, I got a bit bored. This tiny house is the solution to that boredom!

Come and join this tiny cat family as they potter around their garden and liven up your desk, office space or bookshelf. Each piece is made of sustainably sourced 4mm walnut wood, and printed using UV sealed inks to ensure durability and lovely rich colours. The calendar itself is a little spiral bound book that sits on top of the house, with 13 x 170gsm printed pages. And as an added bonus, you can lift up the roof and store small items of stationery in the house itself; it's the perfect size for sticky notes or washi tapes. There is also a plain front cover to the calendar, meaning that it can still be displayed if the year has ended and you still want it on your desk. I also have an option to buy a 2024 roof available on the drop down menu; please note that the wood may be different to what you have received in 2023 as these calendars are now made with the more sustainable maple wood - don't worry, it will still fit together!

This set is now sent out on pop out sheets; just pop each piece out and assemble!

The base measures 15cm by 14.5cm, and the tallest part of the house (the spiral binding) measures 11.5cm.
I hand draw, print and lasercut the wood myself and I am so proud of this tiny house and it's inhabitants, and I really hope that you guys like it too!

This desk calendar comes flat packed and ready to assemble - simply slot together your outer walls, then attach them to the base, and add the roof and the additional details! These houses ship in large letter format, which means they will fit through a letterbox.

And don't worry! I'll also be offering a new roof notebook for 2025 and beyond, later in the year. This means that you won't have to stop using this desk calendar after just one year.

If you're looking to inject a little bit of cottagecore cuteness into your workspace or home, this would be the perfect addition. Or why not send it as a gift to a friend of family member? You can select 'this order is a gift' in your basket and leave a message to go directly to the recipient if needed.

PLEASE NOTE: Although this desk calendar has been designed for all the family to enjoy, it is not to be used by children without adult supervision. Small pieces may be a choking hazard, and although walnut is a strong wood, pieces should be treated with care to ensure they don't snap or scratch.
Please be aware that as wood is a natural product, each set will be totally individual and have a different grain to it. Depending on the depth of the grain, some pieces may have visible markings; this adds to the character of the piece!
Maple thickness can vary slightly from batch to batch, which may mean your calendar pieces have some wiggle room once slotted in to the base. Don't worry, they are designed not to fall over! If any pieces are a little difficult to assemble, just give them a gentle wiggle to ease them into the slot. I would recommend not disassembling your tiny house once you have built it, as continued wear and tear on the pieces may damage the ink. If you would like your calendar to be extra sturdy, I would recommend using a little super or wood glue on the joins to make sure it stays together (although I wouldn't glue down the roof or you won't be able to store anything in it!).

How to take care of your Tiny House:

- If you need to clean any of the pieces, please wipe them down with a damp cloth.
- Submerging the pieces in water may cause the wood to swell and potentially split, so please don't expose the maple to excessive liquid!
- Place your calendar somewhere safe where pets and small children won't be able to get to it unsupervised.
- Some pieces have small details; to avoid the risk of snapping these, press them into the slots by the thicker areas, rather than the thinner sections.
- Please do not disassemble your calendar if you can avoid it, as repeated wear and tear may damage the ink.

Shipped out in totally recyclable packaging, this tiny house is the perfect way to add a little more magic to your home!
