New bunch of bookmarks

When it comes to bookmarks, my philosophy is one can never have too many. I must have hundreds stashed away all over the house and even at my office, and yet for some reason I still manage to find myself in inopportune moments where I have to use a receipt or a table napkin to mark my place in a book (crazy, right?).

It’s been a while since I showed you bookmarks from my collection, and I realized I’ve amassed quite a few neat ones in the last couple of years, so here they are!

Embroidered bookmarks from Cambodia:

(Leftover) Bacon bookmarks – made them myself, and gave them out a couple of Christmases ago. Always fun to watch people’s reactions!

(Kitty) Bombs away! An adorable bookmark from a fellow cat lover:

Peter Rabbit and Popeye, souvenirs from the MINT Museum of Toys, Singapore:

From the Van Gogh museum:

I’ve never been on a bookmark before! :P Personalized bookmarks, among the most prized in my collection, given by two of my favorite bookworms (illustration by Rhett de Jesus):

39 Clues leather bookmark, for the Lucian in me:

Some lovely Japanese bookmarks:

Special thanks to everyone who sends bookmarks my way: family, Flippers, my boss, and other bookish friends!
