Bookmarked

I am as attracted to bookmarks as I am to beautiful book covers. Ever since I wrapped myself up in my own private literary escapades it pained me to have to turn down the corners of pages. If I'm short a bookmark, (which is often because I tend to start many books and neglect them for a while, I use whatever is handy - receipts, scraps of paper), but I'm sure you'll agree - nothing beats slipping a bookmark between the pages of your book.





I purchased these beauties from the etsy shop Munieca just before my exams, I kept the last one for myself and the others were gifts. The artist Andrea is from Argentina and hand makes these all herself as well as selling larger prints of these dolls in her store, and jewelry too! I was really impressed with the quality and service and my equally as bookish friends loved them. It would make you smile to see these between the pages of your favourite book.

  1. These are gorgeous, I'm off to check out her store now. I always have so many books on the go too and these would be a million times better than the train tickets I always seem to end up using :)

  2. these are so cute! i'm always using train tickets and receipts as bookmarks, or turning over the pages (only in my own books though, I hate it when people do that to library books!)

  7. hi, just come across your blog! i too end up with many books on the go and the bookmarks gradually become train tickets... i used to be all neatneatneat with books, but now i don't mind turning down the corners (only a centimetre) to mark pages with passages on that i like. i find it makes them more personal.
    steph :)
