One of the lovely Christmas gifts I received from my partner this morning was the delightful and heart-warming 2015 calendar from Edgar's Mission Farm Sanctuary, one of my favourite places in the world and an organisation I support. Included with the calendar was a sticker and this  small die-cut bookmark of Little Miss Sunshine.  Great to have you as part of my collection Sunshine!

What a great idea! 

Recently when looking at Pinterest I came upon photos of bookmarks made from the spines of vintage books.  Must give it a go sometime.
 Instructions:

·         A book spine
·         Heavy cardstock
·         Matte gel medium for glue
·         Brayer
·         Eyelet
·         Ribbon or tassel

  1.  Use matte gel medium to glue heavy cardstock to back of book spine
  2. Use brayer to really flatten them together. Let dry completely.
  3. Trim around book spine
  4. Punch hole and set eyelet
  5. Add ribbon or tassel

​This is a colourful, intricate, well illustrated  and fun bookmark from Bibliophile the book warehouse and online mail-order bookseller located in London which was established in 1978.  In 2011, Bibliophile became one of only three booksellers to have been granted a Royal Warrant, By Royal Appointment. A Royal Warrant is regarded as a ‘Peerage for Trade’ in recognition of quality service and excellence to the royal household.  You can read more about Bibliophile on their website.

This is a bookmark to look at closely because there is so much going on!  A cat peers up at a mouse which is teasing it from its place high on top of a very tall pile of books.  And if you look closely at the spines of these books, you will see many of them have very intriguing titles:

. World Plumbing
. D.I.Y. Nuclear Power
. Butterflies of Rockall
. Grow Your Own Children
. The Dictator's Cookbook
. Karma Sutra for Cats
. The Bogs of Britain
. Orgies for Beginners

All topped of by the mug which says "I Love Bibliophile".  A clever promotion within a promotion!
