I thought these were very unique so I decided to show you 2 gifts I received for Christmas that got me scratching my head and going “Eh? What is this? A hook over your ear? A hair piece?”
What would you have thought they were?
Come on, take a guess before you look down for the answer 🙂
Would you have guessed bookmarks? I didn’t! 😛
One got me a gorgeous mermaid diving into a new book, with charms dangling off her tail. To fit my sci-fi and fantasty books fetish I was told. Aww…
Another is a lovely elegant charm for my chick lit. Double aww…. As they were gifts, I have no idea how much they cost but for me, its priceless 🙂
Did I tell you what lovely friends I have? Well, I have very lovely friends – who know that other than bags, my other primary love is for reading. I think the overflowing bookcases tipped them off LOL…
Incidentally, while I was in MPH recently, I saw similar looking bookmark charms for sale. They were pretty but I prefer the ones I have. But of course! 😛
While looking online, I also saw these in Choobs, a local jewelry blogshop. You could also look in Etsy that haven of all things handmade. I saw some really pretty ones there too!
So who’d have thought jewelry for books existed eh? 🙂 Did you guess right?

January 31, 2010 at 1:36 pm@Nikki : Actually, if your hair is long enough, these bookmark charms can double up as accessories for hair buns and French twists… 🙂
ParisB says
January 31, 2010 at 10:56 pmI reckon you could stick it in your hair! I can’t coz mine is too short 🙂
