Bookmark Collector

Several months ago, Harriet went to an estate sale and bought these two bookmarks. From the nature of the other items for sale, it was clear that this was the home of a Jewish woman who had survived the holocaust, and so it was a particularly poignant set to bring home

María Rosa from Spain has started a new blog named Punto de Papel in which she is posting her bookmark collection. The images she’s posted so far show a pretty impressive collection, and rather than select one of the beautiful bookmarks as the header for this post, I’m going to urge you to head over [...]

Here are some posts from collections that I saw this week:
SIXBUCKSADONKEY
Here’s the latest Bookmark Friday entry over at Sixbucksadonkey (I love that title). He’s titled the post “A LOVE Thing” and the caption on the bookmark is “I love books so much I wish I could just marry them”. There’s also an audio recording of [...]

Here are the bookmark entries from a variety of on-line bookmark collectors:
Bookmark Friday: eat your veggies
It’s a veggie theme over at Sixbucksadonkey.
Mmm, veggies.

Cup and Saucer
I came across the Tea with Friends blog where Angela McRae posted about a recent bookmark acquisition. It’s such an interesting item that I thought I’d point it out. [...]

Here’s another experiment. There are several folks out in the internets who regularly post images from their collection of bookmarks. As they update their listings, I thought I’d provide a weekly roundup of those links.
Kellypuffs
There are two bookmarks in Kellypuff’s flickr photostream. Unfortunately, they aren’t going to stay in her collection. She made them herself, [...]

A blogger named Sixbucksadonkey is starting what he (she?) calls Bookmark Friday. The first entry said that every Friday would have a posting displaying a bookmark from his/her collection. However, the second posting was two weeks later.
Not that I would know anything about not keeping up with regular postings.
The two displayed so far are quirky [...]

I just discovered Inside Books, a personal blog about reading and literature published by Simon Quicke who appears to be in London. He discusses books that he’s read, but he also has a regular post he calls Bookmark of the Week where he posts a picture of one of his bookmarks and talks a bit [...]

One of my favorite bookmark related sites to follow is a blog by Olga Sotomayor Sánchez named Coleccionista Chilena de Marcapáginas. She’s a librarian in Chile, and has a large, well organized collection that she puts on display at various fairs and events. She collects and trades internationally, and has been active in Mail Art [...]

Well, it’s been a little over six months since my last entry. I don’t want to go into a long set of excuses and explanations, so I’ll keep it short and say that my work and personal life took over for a bit. Then, overcoming the inertia (and a bit of guilt) around not having [...]

Now that I’ve had a chance to do some initial organizing, it’s time to really start sorting. I spent a long Saturday sorting through all of the bookmarks while watching some videos. All of the larger, three dimensional bookmarks were collected into separate drawers, and all of the paper and thin material bookmarks into [...]
