Calendar & cards from Ailsa Black
Have just received my order from Ailsa, 2021 calendar, Christmas cards & blank greeting cards. All the pictures are rally lovely & great fun. The calendar is a good big size with a fun picture at the top & plenty of room in the date area for adding my entries. Found Ailsa's site unexpectedly after seeing her calendar in a charity catalogue & so glad I did, would certainly buy from her again. The paintings & prints on the website look fab as well. Order dealt with quickly & Alisa replied to my email query promptly.
