Eggpress



Came across this amazing site tonight called Eggpress and thought i would share...I love the Paper puppy cut-out. I think i might treat my self to one of these calenders though. I bought a really old calender a few years back in a charity shop which had the same illustrations that Run Wrake uses in his anmiation 'Rabit'check out Lula's amazing vintage blog
