2019 — “The Marvelous Instant”
The 2019 Calendar "The Marvelous Instant" was composed of those embroideries by Svetlana Babushkina which decorated the covers of the previous twelve calendars as well as of the poems by the great Russian poet Alexander Pushkin whose 220th birthday will be celebrated in June, 2019.
I recall the marvelous instant:
My mother holds the poet's portrait
Whose the great and beautiful genius
Gives me the light of the children's fairy tale.
Galina Kurlyandchik
Based on the famous poem by A.S. Pushkin "To*** (I recall the marvelous instant...")
The Picture of the Front Cover: Portrait of A.S. Pushkin, created by our skilled needlewoman according to the well-known portrait by the famous Russian painter O.A. Kiprensky.

Dear Galina,
Another incredible calendar! Between your mother’s artwork and your granddaughter compiling the 2019 edition, you must be so proud. As I read the poetry, it made me realize how the seasons transition so differently in your homeland.
Thank you so much.

Dear Galina,
Thank you for your wishes, holiday card and wonderful calendar, which arrived here 2 days ago. What a great idea to commemorate Pushkin's 220 birthday anniversary. It is hard to believe that you are creating those calendars for over 10 years already. As the previous ones, this one too presents your Mom's beautiful artwork, which is complimented with great poetry. These special calendars are truly wonderful gifts that I enjoy a lot.
