Maybe it's because I don't do that much traveling. My current bookmark says "practice random acts of reading".<br /><br />I received a book label embosser as a gift and use it on the special books I intend on keeping.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09870662298657958483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7940379803900435059.post-29142765811826780572010-09-12T19:52:09.097-05:002010-09-12T19:52:09.097-05:00What lucky girls we have been.

A library filled with books, each one with a beautiful plate inside the cover. Or is that defacing a book? I would probably still do it, but I need to know whether to feel bad about it or not.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039958476924555517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7940379803900435059.post-36499011061639365092010-09-10T20:25:42.433-05:002010-09-10T20:25:42.433-05:00E: that is funny-- You should take photos for your...E: that is funny-- You should take photos for your blog!Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102907186589066829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7940379803900435059.post-455888000572302172010-09-10T19:41:34.625-05:002010-09-10T19:41:34.625-05:00I adore bookmarks but most of mine have been gifts...I adore bookmarks but most of mine have been gifts. Corraling them is difficult for me and they fall out of my books so I usually resist the temptation to buy (and just use any old handy scrap to do the job)-- but you've inspired me-- just gotta find a cool corral. <br /><br />Those are both beautiful choices-- The couple theme is apropros but I must go with that flamboyantly glamorous and elegant scarlet gown. Wish I owned it and had a place to wear it!<br /><br />Love this post, DeLynne. You know our psychic link-- I've been mentally developing a related idea for a recurrent feature-- still in the thinking stage and I'm stuck on the title but I bet you and Tracy will dig it so we will brainstorm soon.Lesahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05102907186589066829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7940379803900435059.post-2515365859395947642010-09-09T10:57:00.289-05:002010-09-09T10:57:00.289-05:00Sargent is sublime.

I keep them in a clear plastic sleeve and take them out occasionally just to run my fingers over them. I, like you, can't bring myself to risk them, but I think that's a little bit of a shame.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07039958476924555517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7940379803900435059.post-59052602141733398752010-09-09T08:44:34.707-05:002010-09-09T08:44:34.707-05:00+JMJ+

When I was teaching full-time, I wanted to tell my students that if they felt they <i>had</i> to get me something for Christmas, it should be bookmarks. What bibliophile <i>doesn't</i> appreciate flat swag? =P<br /><br />But I don't really coordinate my books and my bookmarks. What I do coordinate are . . . my books and my clothes! =D Sometimes it's completely unconscious: several hours after leaving home, I will set my book down on my lap and suddenly notice how perfectly it goes with my outfit!<br /><br />PS--I love Mrs. Hugh Hammersley's dress! It's so classically stylish! Only a little tweaking, and some big celebrity could wear it to the Oscars next year.Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.com
