Reading something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue
Odds and Ends
I love books and everything to do with them — bookmarks, book plates, reading implements, book-related toys and accessories and other bookish ephemera.
I’ve amassed a veritable loot over the holidays, thanks to some very thoughtful people.
Here’s the stash:
Gege’s “Just add books” book straps. A couple of years ago it was manual flashlights, for reading emergencies. Love the tag!Bookish stationery! (From Mika, Andi, Jan)A reading cat pen (from my cousin Dianne)A book organizing bin from Artesana, won from the FFP Christmas party pabitin!Harry Potter journal, also from SanaNational Book Store sent their holiday bag, which contained an awesome flashdrive in the shape of a book, a fresh stash of gc’s and a signed copy of Mitch Albom’s Time KeeperBamboo bookmark from Japan, from my bossOld-timey bookplates from Shani (with some heavenly Aromateria soap)FFP Christmas bookmark and paperdolls, designed by Gege and AjieFFP bottlecap pins — I foresee the start of a new collection!A wandpen and bookmark from the Harry Potter Exhibition, also from my bossFrom Scholastic: A bookish calendar, the second Infinity Ring book, my own Mockingjay pin (I finally have one!) and a canvas toteA nutcracker tea set (also from Dianne)And my favorite: A Nancy Drew totebag from Andi!

It’s always lovely when people get you things they know you’ll appreciate. And these are very much appreciated!
