1. 2026 Calendars

   Posted on 12:00pm Thursday 2nd Oct 2025

   🌸 Ailsa Black 2026 Calendar 🌸

   I’m delighted to share my 2026 calendar with you. Each year I carefully select a collection of my paintings that I hope will bring a little warmth, colour, and joy into your home all year long.

   For the cover, I chose a piece that celebrates some of my favourite themes – busy bees, bold flowers, and a cosy cottage under a glowing sky. I love how the bright pink tulips and blue globe thistles frame the scene, while the golden moon shines over the little house with its sunny yellow door and red post box. It’s a simple scene, but one that always makes me smile.

   Inside, you’ll find thirteen of my artworks, each one inspired by the small moments and familiar sights of life in Scotland – quirky wildlife, cheerful coastal cottages, and the beauty of our countryside and gardens. My paintings are about capturing joy in the everyday, and I hope that each month brings you a smile or a gentle reminder to notice the little things around you. Also included is the extra month of January 2027 so you can really plan ahead.

   This calendar is designed not just to help you keep track of dates, but also to brighten your walls with colour and character throughout the year.

   Thank you for supporting my work – I truly hope my 2026 calendar brings a touch of happiness to your days.

   With love,
   Ailsa 🎨

   

2. 2025 By The Sea Calendars are now in stock

   Posted on 12:00pm Friday 4th Oct 2024

   My 2025 By The Sea Calendars are now in stock. I have had quite a few people asking about my square wall calendar but for various reasons I'm afraid I don't have one this year. Hopefully I will get back on track next year. 

   However this years calendars from my publisher Carousel Calendars are looking fabulous and will certainly fill a hole in any wall. We have a lovely slim calendar which doesn't take up a lot of space but still has plenty room to write those improtant dates on.

   

   For those of you with more lives to organise the By The Sea Year Planner has enough space to write appointments for 4 people and a wipeable board and a note pad for extra reminders. 

   

   Both these items are available in my shop and you can also pick them up from Garden Centres and your local WHSmith. Here is to keeping you organised in 2025! x

3. New Jigsaw for Autumn 2023

   Posted on 12:00pm Tuesday 12th Sep 2023

   I'm delighted to tell you that I have a new 1000 piece jigsaw design available from my fabulous jigsaw publisher Ravensburger. 

   The new jigsaw is called Harbour Life and is inspired by the walrus who visited the coastal towns this summer. It pictures a busy coastal harbour scene with boats and fishermen.a village nestles into the hills and behind are trees, clouds and a hot air balloon. Perfect for the dark nights.

   

   Although this one is hot from the press the next one is already in the making. Watch this space!
