We are total suckers for cute illustration, and for fabulous color, okay, and also for home goods! With her delicate organic style, her fun colors, and her nature themes, leah duncan has us hooked. Her drawings looks as good on scarves and pillows as they do printed on paper. And really, these modern and fresh prints should be tossed on a couch, wrapped around the neck, and also hung on the wall.

Art isn’t just meant to be on canvas and paper.
GIVEAWAY ALERT: leah duncan is giving away a 2011 Wall Calendar. To enter, comment on this post and tell us your favorite month of the year. Ash is a sucker for September – the month she met her husband, and then five years later married him. There’s something about the change in the light, and the warm days and cool nights that are so appealing about the early weeks of fall. Kimmy loves June – school ends, roses bloom, and summer begins!

My favourite month is October because that is the month I spend in the USA with my daughter and her lovely family!
March ^^ Spring coming and a lot of birthdays
October…. there is nothing quite like ditching work for a stroll on the beach picking up shells in the warm October sunshine after all the tourists have gone for the season!
October is my favorite…I’ve always been an autumn girl and love the oranges and reds of that month along with the crisp cool air. Plus I got married amidst the lovely leaves of October.
I love October. I love the crisp weather, the clear blue skies and the changing leaves. Plus, Halloween is in October!
My favorite month is May! Lilacs bloom, students graduate so I get a break, AND it’s my birthday month!
Beautiful calendar! I love December (maybe I’m just saying that because it’s Christmas?) but I really do love the snow, holiday cheer, hope and faith of the month
October is my favorite month- i love the Indian summer days. Dry, clear and colorful.
I also love september–the air is just starting to get crisp at night. The leaves are turning. The sunshine is out and the sky is blue and it isn’t so darn humid. And, having been in school for like forever, it’s a time of new beginnings. Oh and yes, my birthday. So September rocks!
I love May as well. It’s when I was born, it’s the start of spring in Wisconsin, and it’s when the lilacs always start blooming in the backyard. It’s happy. And it smells good.
(Yay Austin, TX!)
I love June, the weather is always lovely!
My favorite month is September – it’s not that hot anymore, yet not really cold either, plus I was born in September!
Beautiful!!!!! My favorite month is obvi April!!! Birthdays and spring time galore
My fav month is October because of the color of the leaves, the beginning of the Fall, the change in the light. It’s also the month before my birthday, so I am all excited about the gifts I am going to receive. Expectation is everything to me

My favorite month is May. That’s my birthday month! Such a cute calendar!
June is my favorite month of the year because the weather is so lovely, there are lots of fresh fruits and veggies to eat and school gets out!

My favorite is September. In the Pacific NW you know the weather is going to be good for sure that month
I guess I relate a lot of good momories assosiated with the month and that makes it stand out from the rest.
I love July
because it’s my birthday and I love the summer!
June. I guess it still has to do with school vacations starting as a kid.
October; I love the magic and childhood glee of Halloween! Plus halloween movie marathons suck me in every time

I love April. The snow is finally replaced by rain, flowers start to bloom, and summer road trips are just around the corner!
marija.majerle at gmail dot com
I think April…new air, new buds on trees, lots of birds singing…so much possibility of everything being right in the world
Hmmm…I do love many months, but April and July are my favs. April because it’s spring and the hope of warm weather is upon us. Plus it’s my birthday month! And July because my husband and I started dating on Independence Day, after being friends for 8 years.
My favorite month is August…the best part of summer with nice sunsets and it also happens to be my birthday month!
I love April. love going to see cherry blossoms in April.
I love September, because my little angel was born in it!!!

My favourite month is November. My birth month.
I love March. All my favorite holidays are then!
I LOVE May!! It’s such a pretty time of year! Flowers are blooming and spring is in full swing!
I am in love with the fall time.
It is full of vibrant colors. It’s a time when the hot, humid days of summer are finally leaving and the cool, crisp, autumn air fills our days.
: )
I like December when it is rainy and cool.
I like July best.
My favorite month of the year is July. My birthday is in that month AND it is such a pretty time of the year!
Popsicles and swimming.
I like the best of all October – yellow trees and romantic mood…
My birthday – October, 31th and I like warm words and beautiful surprises!
I like February. It’s my birthday month!
I like February, becouse it’s a winter month! And I like winter.
I like February, because it’s a winter month! And I like winter.

I love July! Summer has always been my favorite season, and some my favorite events (July 4th, my birthday, summer camps) fall in July.

My favorite month is July. Summer BBQs, fun at the beach and my Birthday!
I like February. It’s my son’s birthday & baby #2 who’s due in Feb. =)
I love June, my birthday is at the beginning and my wedding anniversary is at the end so there’s always some lovely celebrations going on plus it’s summer and the roses are in bloom, my favourite flower! x
May is beautiful-everything is starting to bloom!
I’ve always loved October. Changing leaves, warm sweaters, scarves, new drinks at Starbucks…and having my birthday doesn’t hurt either.
Thanks for the giveaway.
April definitely because its my birthday month and its beautiful when the flowers come back!
Although I’m a summer girl, there’s something about August that I love the most. Michigan foliage is beautiful in the afternoon light and nothing is more comforting than a warm scarf.
I think I have to go with October for my favorite month. It’s when the air starts to turn crisp, apples taste the best, and there’s all sorts of fun autumn stuff going on, like leaf peeping!
ms(dot)verymarried(at)gmail(dot)com
i like May – it’s warming up but not too warm…
i like august best – it’s my birthday month, but it’s also the month that gives me my last few weeks of freedom before i go back to teaching third grade. i love doing outdoorsy things, and even though it’s wicked hot in texas in august, there are plenty of activities to do to keep you cool in austin!
thanks for the chance to win!
My favorite is August – my birthday month and perfect beach weather! And I love how long it stays light out.
Love June the best!

I very much love June. It is summer month, month of the sun and heat. It brings pleasure all pupil – vacation begins! This month I have found the significant other. And also my Birthday on June, 18th!

Beautiful work! I don’t currently have a favorite month, but February will no doubt be it as of 2011 ~ the month I’m expecting my first child!
I would definitely have to say November … I love cool weather, the changing leaves, Thanksgiving, getting ready for the holiday season AND it’s my birthday month!! What’s not to like?
December. Oh December. It’s my (& my twin brother’s) birthdays, Christmas, New Years Eve… It’s like a month long celebration!
July. It’s warm, filled with BBQ’s, fireworks, and fun times with friends.
i want it.
I like September as well. It starts to cool down after the summer and the leaves start to change!
My favorite month is December. The chilly weather and the holiday feeling is in the air
I can’t possibly pick a favorite month of the year… I’m so bad at favorites. Can I tell you my favorite month of this past year? May, hands down. I graduated with a BFA, took a life-changing trip to Hawai’i and got engaged. Pretty good month!
i love august. winter in australia. i love your work!
I like summer months – june – cause this is my birthday.
I love May. It is a month of hope. Hope for the flowers. Hope for school to get out. Hope for sunshine and long bike rides. The bleak darkness of winter fades into spring. I long for May to come.
i love september.
My favorite month is October – i love fall colors and the cooler weather. Its my moms and my birthday and I love Halloween too! Thanks for the lovely giveaway. have a Happy New Year!
I love May – it’s my birthday month and school is just nearly over
(I’m a special ed teacher). Thanks for the chance!
September would have to be my fave. It signifies the end of summer and the beginning of my favourite season – autumn.
I love October…cool nights and falling leaves equals spooky!
I love May. The green is staring to come back and it feels like a rebirth every year. It fills me and gives me new life every year.
I love December!
Rain falls mostly in the morning which I love soooo much. Long holidays. Just perfect.

My fav month is April! In my country, in April the spring is showing its little nose, it’s still a bit cold, and sometimes even snow, but from time to time you can feel a warm spring wind, the sun is shining, the snow is melting, you can feel the life coming back to earth, and gaze at the summer! I think it’s really charming, I love it!
I love October, my anniversary and birthday month
I love Spring. I love the colors and the smells and the weather. I am a sucker for a good rainfall. With that in mind, I would probably narrow down my favorite month to April. Especially here in Upstate NY, that’s when the snow is almost all melted and greens start to peak out.
My favorite is March, cuz my birthday and spring break!
March because its my birthday and usually the weather is fantastic then
September is my favorite month. The sun is warm, but you can start to wear the sweaters you love. I love the smell of the leaves and the air.
I love May because I live in Sweden and in May the very long and very cold winter surrenders for real. The 5 months old snow melts away and the flowers bloom and the sun wont go down until late at night.
I’m going to say November. Because where I come from, it’s just starting to get chilly enough to bundle up and look forward to the prospect of hot chocolate. And what’s better than a mug of something hot while you curl up with a favorite book?
I love October. Halloween was always my favorite holiday, and as luck would have it, my first born decided to arrive two weeks early, on Halloween Day, 2004. She is Halloween-obsessed, as well, so the two of us love decorating our home during the month of October. We also enjoy October’s crisp air, hot cocoa, fall leaves… every bit of it.
