For the last few years, I have produced calendars on stone-related themes for family and friends, and have made a few available for sale as well. The theme for the two TumbleStone Calendars for 2024 is beach stones collected during my four months “Southern Sojourn” at the start of this year. Calendar #1 features one photo of one stone each month. Calendar #2 features a beach scene plus photos of four stones each month. The photo page for each month is A4 size, and I use Diamond Photo to construct and print the Calendars. These Calendars are for sale, with postage within New Zealand included, for $30 non-rural, $35 rural. Contact me at john.tumblestone@gmail.com.
In Calendar #1, there are eight Gemstone Beach (Southland) stones and two each from Kakanui’s Seadown Beach (North Otago) and Ward Beach (Marlborough). The stones were photographed individually in the rough and wet, while held in my hand under bright sunlight. A variety of types and colours of stones are included. Below are scans of the photo pages for each month – the actual pages are clearer and sharper:
For each month in Calendar #2, the same stone is featured in the top right hand corner but a photo of the beach is added along with three more stones from the same beach. Following are six of the months:
This Post lists the types of stones included each month in Calendar #2.

Have sent you an email to order my copy of this one! Can’t wait to hang it on the wall of my new stone shed that hubby built for me! It will look perfect in there!!
Ooops I meant the #2 one – can you tell I was having trouble deciding which one!!
Lucky you, new stone shed! The Calendar will look great on its wall.
