This is great…because…I just so happen to volunteer in a thrift shop…and I take care of the books when they come in and I make a habit of pullling bookmarks or pictures, whatever is in the book and saving them..I was waiting for the right reason before I did anything with them.
I’ll rummage through my drawer and see if there is anything of interest….although it looks like you have ALOT…

Hello–
I love browsing your website each week as it offers me artistic inspiration as well as the encouragement I need to keep moving forward in my new business: handcrafted bookmarks. Thank you so much for your consistent presentation of all things bookmark-ish! Should you be interested, please visit my Etsy site at http://www.sbvstudios.etsy.com. I hope to participate in the next convention!
Sincerely,
Sharon Halprin
