---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Every year, around Christmas time, I’m searching calendars for a new year. Etsy offers so many beautiful calendars, but seems that I have fund my favourites. At least for the 2010.

Today’s treasure comes from three sisters. 3SistersLove is a really cute Etsy shop that sells stationery, calendars, gifts and more.

 Where does your shop name come from?
We are 3 loving sisters :)

How long have you been designing cards and calendars? How and why did you start?
The oldest sister is an artist and a graphic designer. The middle sister is a painter and a vet student. The youngest is… well… blonde with blue eyes, and she is there to inspire us and bring new ideas!
We’ve been always creative in our daily lives as well as at work. We started our Etsy journey in 2008, creating clay pendants at first. Then from there, using our skills in fine arts and graphics our designs slowly evolved from 3d clay objects to 2d paper goods.

 Where do you get your inspiration for the items in your shop?
We are story tellers and get inspired from other creative people that tell stories thru their designs. For example, one of our favorite architects is I.M Pei. In his architecture every viewing angle has depth and tells a story. We think about our designs even before initial sketching phase.

If you had to choose just one favorite item in your shop, what would it be and why?
Our calendar designs are what we are really proud of. We can’t choose between Version 1 and Version 2 because they are both very special to us.

It wasn’t easy to design them as it probably looks. For both versions each month has it’s own concept. Even with different concepts we had to make sure that at the end all 12 months are unified thru color and style of that particular calendar. It’s like putting together a puzzle.
