I listened and understood. 
Some nice customers have asked Calepino to propose a calendar before the end of this year.
A practical wall calendar on which one can take notes.

And it's done :
The first Calepino calendar for 2013 is now on pre-order for the subscribers and blog readers.

It measures 30 x 40 cm and naturally find its place next to the shelf of books in the living room, in the kitchen near the fridge, or hung on the office wall. Get it for yourself or give it to your colleagues, your spouse who retains no date or your roommate for the household / dishes turn.

In the same spirit as the notebooks, the monthly calendar was created thinking about the usefulness of the object; A space is provided for each day to record appointments, birthdays and other parties to remember. For each month of 2013 a printed page, which you will pull on the 31st to not only focus on the coming months. And for those who prefer a more holistic view of time, the whole year is  letterpress printed (like the Calepino bookmarks) onto the white card stock calendar. Use it in a monthly version or as an annual poster. 

Funding call - Pre-order

To thank the 100 firsts that will support this project, the pre-sale price is 25 euros. After this period and for the following, its price will be 29 euros. It will be sent in early December in a nice cardboard box with a card to thank for your valuable support.

Testing the stock die-cut :

• In a short time it will be the anniversary of Calepino. First year, and a first evening in Nantes to celebrate it. It will be simple, but it will be an opportunity to meet each other in "real" and also the opportunity to unveil a very very limited edition in collaboration with Emilie Bransac, an artist from Nantes. The "official" invitation will soon be on the blog and in the newsletter. In the meantime make sure to note the date in your notebook: Thursday, November 22 - 6pm - One year anniversary + the launch event of the limited edition with Emilie Bransac and of course you're invited! For people who don't leave around, I hope you can also make the trip, come and have a drink with us.

• The other important event of this year will be the release of the new creation by Calepino. For those who follow us on the blog or Facebook, they will guess what it is ... I'll let others try to find what it will be. Already drawn, it remains only to print and assemble. And for that, Calepino needs your support. Indeed, for the first time, this item will be first available for pre-sale to raise the funds necessary to finance its manufacture and to deliver it in mid-November. To thank the 100 subscribers who will support the project and allow this creation, there will be a special pre-sale price. If you want to discover in advance this creation and support it, please leave your email address on this page: Newsletter subscription

• As you may know Calepino now offers a customization service for the notebooks. Many brands and events have requested to do so in recent weeks. So now we are dealing with the printing of these beautiful custom items. I will not fail to advertise on the blog and share pictures as soon as I can. If you ever want to also carry notebooks in collaboration with Calepino to propose before the end of the year, do not wait more .. it takes a month of delay.

• And, new copper tools coming soon. A Christmas market near Angers (France) in December. Some white alabaster. Some letterpress. Wooden pencils that are not yellow. Some screen printing. Some sewn-drawn. And other surprises for the coming months.

Before announcing new stuff for October, Calepino is giving away some beautiful bookmarks. Found by Jenn who sent me a box, these little brass bookmarks can be added to your pages to show you exactly what you were reading or writing in your notebook. 
Limited to the next 30 orders, no minimum order !
We will start adding them in each order starting from number 91744.

Even if it was not a priority at the origin,
it is clear that Calepino was well received internationally.
In less than a year, our small notebooks made in France
have been sold in more than fifty countries.
Last in list, in Montreal - Canada at the nice shop Rooney.
In Seoul as well, South Korea (pictures hopefully soon).
And more recently in Singapore.

Some pictures from these places:

As often, it is a story of meetings. The one between Calepino and Thierry Weyd in charge of the "Editions Cactus", which invests different fields such as literature, poetry, comics, music, performance, visual arts, cinema...

And the one with Lukas Richarz, artist, who lives and works in Nantes at the workshop from the  "Association Mille feuilles".

Meetings which lead to the creation of a work of the latter,
in the form of a book: QUALITY CONTROL (O023).
An object published by "La Manufacture des Cactées" (Editions Cactus), manufactured and printed in Nantes by Calepino in 100 copies, then controlled by its author.

This very special Calepino notebook (I do not reveal anything...) is to be published Saturday, September 8, 2012 at the opening of the exhibition VOLKS TRESOR by Lukas Richarz at the Fermeture Eclair, in Caen (France), starting at 7.30 pm. You will discover its uniqueness and get it on this occasion. Some more pictures will follow ........

Received the 1st September 2012 : 

"I said to myself during this beautiful first day of September and seeing it on the table in the garden, that it would probably pleased you to have some news from an old Calepino that has already well lived, traveled and helped many times, many annotated sketches, plans, lists and notes of all kinds ... Here are some pictures of my (already!) old Calepino who follows me everywhere for several months now. You will notice: somewhat cuted and intersected to adapt perfectly to the back pocket of my eternal 501 and to adapt the closer my beautiful curves of my little right cheek! !"

A little rest, travel, and time with family. A good time to relax and maybe to think about the future creations and products.
