THIS GIVEAWAY IS CLOSED.

Long-time readers of No Ordinary Homestead have probably heard me talking about this company in the past. In fact, it is one of my favorite creative partners which make super cute, extra useful calendars. Now that 2013 is quickly winding down, it’s the perfect time of year to start thinking about what you will use to keep yourself organized and on top of all your appointments. So in case you haven’t heard of them already, I would like to introduce you to Prinz Apfel.

Based in Berlin, the name “Prince Apple” was actually given to the company’s first product, a pocket calendar which stood a proud 5 inches high. Now 7 years old, the product line has grown a bit each year, and Prinz Apfel now includes several calendar sizes including wall and standing versions, along with cloth shopping bags and postcards which all feature the happy and unique graphics of the Prinz Apfel team. As the team told me a few years ago, “It’s made to bring fun into everybody’s life.”

With more than half of the year spent on creating the artwork which fills the pages of each Prinz Apfel calendar, it’s truly a labor of love that designers and artists Birgit, Jasmin and Mathias work on when they’re not working their “real” jobs. It’s that true entrepreneurial spirit and determination that shines through clearly in their calendar year-after-year, making each one just a little bit better than the year before.

But you don’t have to take my word for it. This week, you get the chance to win one of three 2014 Prinz Apfel calendars all for yourself! (Scroll down to enter). And until they arrive, be sure to head over to the Prinz Apfel website for more photos. I personally love the new year images, the Dachshunds in love, the lightening bug and the giraffe (just to name a few). But I also love how the images loosely flow with the holidays and seasons as the calendar year passes.

This year, Prinz Apfel has just released a special family calendar which provides a monthly overview that provides extra space for family members to add in their own appointments, events and special dates. It’s a great way for family’s to keep up with busy schedules and make sure everyone knows what is going on at home and elsewhere.
