More of Capucine’s work in our product gallery

Here we are: 24th December, last day of our Calvendo Advent calendar 2016. Say hello to this wonderful Japanese Kokeshi doll version of Father Christmas in our author Capucine’s delightful A Year of Kokeshi wall calendar – whimsical illustrations of this old Japanese tradition of handmade wooden dolls.

Thanks everyone for joining us on our Advent calendar journey for the past 24 days! Wishing you all a wonderful, peaceful and joyful Christmas with family and friends. Take care of yourselves and only the very best for 2017!

Just in case you’re looking for a Christmas gift for someone from Ilkeston or around, look no further: We’re opening door number five of the Calvendo Advent calendar to one of artist Stephen Millership’s vintage-style illustrations of Ilkeston. If you like what you see (we do!), there’s more in his Ilkeston, Past and Present calendar, a wonderful homage to his hometown in Derbyshire that he brought to life on our platform. Thanks, Stephen!

Lots to be inspired by: Calvendo’s creative calendar makers
