Marjolein Bastin 2020 Deluxe Wall Calendar: Nature's Inspiration

To clarify: 5 stars for Marjolein Bastin's artwork featured in this calendar, but 2 stars for its production. I continue to love Marjolein Bastin's work and have purchased her calendars for many years. However, the production quality continues to slip since Andrews McMeel Publishing took over from Lang Holdings Inc. The paper quality is noticeably inferior compared to Lang's linen-embossed paper, and it no longer includes the brass hanging grommet, which prevents the calendar from tearing. Mine always tears around September or October despite how careful I am. And this year, the calendar does not include any of the sweet secondary paintings found in the past. With so many corners being cut, it's time for me to switch back to Lang.

Marjolein Bastin is my all time favorite artist. I have collected her calendars for years. I like that this calendar has illustrations that fill the page from side to side with a top and bottom color banner. The dates/numbers are printed in a bold font and larger text size. The holidays are printed in lighter ink and in a smaller size. The paper is of good quality. I also appreciate that there is a mini calendar of the preceding and following month printed on each page. There is about 1" square of room for each day to jot appointments. The calendar ends in December of 2020.

This is a large, high quality printed calendar. It is so beautiful with the drawings of Majolein Bastin, whose work I admire so much. It comes in a large, thick envelope with pictures on it. The monthly pictures are of a quality that I would frame. Also, it comes with a free print to frame. I bought it a little late in the year and got it cheaper but, it is well worth the original price.

I've had one of Bastin's wall calendars since the 1st year they were available. It's like having a work of art on my wall! There is enough space for me to enter important information on the days and I also like the "linen" type finish of the paper. All in all it's something I treat myself to each year and I get to enjoy this wonderful artist's beautiful work all year long.

Love Marjolein Basitin calendars. Her artwork is beyond anyone else. I would never buy another calendar , but hers. The pictures are awesome and she gives you plenty of space to write down all your doctors appointments,etc. in the space provided. I love her calendars and would not buy anyone else’s. She is the best !

I have been buying Marjolein calendars for years. I adore her art and talent. This 2020 is all about lovely birds! It's a nice large organizing calender too.

This calendar has a beautiful picture on the front but when you open it the pictures aren't as colorful or good quality. Also its first page has an outdated calander. It has grid calendars from Sept 2019-Dec 2019. I'm about to give up ordering on Amazon. I've had to return too many things.

Can't go wrong with the artwork from Marjolein Bastin! Large size calendar is perfect.

My wife loves the calendar, so all is well with the world for another year. ;)

I love Marjolein Bastin's artwork. I was pleased when I found her drawings on a 2020 calendar, and in the perfect size to replace the old calendar on my wall. Each month displays a pleasing and season appropriate drawing. I look at this calendar everyday, and everyday it makes me smile. Perfect purchase!

I really like this calendar. It was shipped in a nice envelope and had a canvas print that could be framed for display. The calendar is well made and each month has beautiful images. Very impressed!

I liked the beautiful artwork, as well as the holidays listed.

I keep this near my desk; large enough numerals to be seen without standing. Very attractive wherever it is needed.

Love her nature scenes on all her work. I have many of her home decorations and always receive compliments. Also, her items are always priced reasonable.

Wonderful calendars and exquisite artwork.

Marjolein's calendars and artwork is always the best! Been purchasing her calendars and various artworks for many, many years. Her work is beautiful, capturing nature's pure essence...and always serene and peaceful.

I was the store manager at a Hallmark store for 9 years and fell in love with this artist. My entire kitchen is decorated with her art.

Have been getting her calendars for years. Quality of paper stock is fantastic! There have been certain scenes I have framed. I can switch scenes and have seasonal decor!

2020 will be a banner year & even more delightful with the fantabulous artwork of Ms Bastin. The coupling of master draftsmanship with lovely subject matter makes these beautiful daily gifts.

MB always my yearly walk calendar. Great space to write on.

I like this Calendar. Strong paper. Big enough to write on. Pretty Photos of Birds.Whats not to like.

Christmas present for my mom. Bastin’s artwork is and has always been beyond beautiful!!!! I’ve bought just about everything her artwork is on.....

I like everything about Marjolein Bastin's products. Order each and every year.

I purchase this calendar for my mom and grandmother every Christmas. They look forward to seeing the beautiful, new illustrations each year. No detail is overlooked!

Lovely nature illustrations on heavy weight paper. Nice size boxes for appointments and reminders.

Beautiful illustrations and plenty of room to write in appointments and events.

Beautiful. Large squares. Sturdy.

My wife loves it.

Really beautiful calander!

Beautiful. Exactly what I wanted

I love this artist and buy a calendar of her art every year. Never disappointed.

I thought I was ordering a Lang wall calendar. This was very misleading. The quality is not what I expected.

Beautiful illustrations for a garden themed bedroom.

The calendar is very plain and lacks art that all the others have...

Beautiful art

Beautiful!

I just love Marjoleins delicate art work. It brings a smile to my face every time I look at it.

Loved it!

Marjolein Bastin illustrates beautiful calendars with lots of space in squares to write apps and notes. She never disappoints. I buy her calendar every year.

Beautiful birds pictures and soft color for the calendar pages

Great

Love all these calrndars. I hate to throw them out at the end of the yr. Sometimes I keep them. Each months picture is lovely enough to frame
