Nepal

I still keep the big and curious envelope where three little nepalese bookmarks travelled to my home four years ago. They came from Patan, in the Kathmandu Valley, among snow-covered mountains and astonishing temples ♥.

Switzerland

It was not easy to select a bookmark from Switzerland because I have a very pretty bookmarks from there, but, finally I chose this beautiful one because used old bookmarks have a very special aura that I love .

Looking this bookmark I realize how practical the Swiss people must be. In a very little bookmark they are capable of showing quite a lot of information about their country: an alpine landscape with the typical architecture, the Swiss flag, the country's name in three different languages and, furthermore, three different alpine flowers: the famous Edelweiss, the Alpine Rose and the Spring Gentian. Information and beauty, all together ♥.

Malaysia

Lina is the artisan and the owner of Sincerely Sakura. She designs very cute bookmarks related to her country, Malaysia, and, about all, the traditional custome, Baju Kebaya.

I am very impressed about this bookmark I received last week. It is delicately made

Liudmila Cernikoviene - An interview.

There is a Lithuanian bookmarks' collector, living in Norway, that has one of my favourite blogs about bookmarks. Now, she was interviewed about her and her collection. Very interesting! I recommend reading it ♥.

Sweden

This bookmark is one of the most beautiful and special ones I have in my collection. I would love to know more about its story, about its age or, even, about the cross' decorations. The only information I have is that this bookmark belonged to a Swedish woman who was living in Spain. I think it is a beautiful treasure ♥. 

The name Gällivare is engraved on the reverse and, searching on the net, I found this is a town in the very north of Sweden, just about 100 km of the Arctic Circle. This town is the home of a devotional Lutheran community, The Laestadianism, founded in the XIX century by a noted pastor and afterwards extended to many countries.

Spain

My country. How to choose only ONE bookmark from thousands and thousands of Spanish bookmarks I have in my collection? It wasn't an easy task, believe me. I have changed the idea so many times that I think I needed to make this post to finish with this headache LOL. But, finally, here, the chosen one. A beautiful rose made in Spain by RAS. It is a pretty bookmark, a birthday present from a good friend, Alia ♥.
