Andorra

This  bookmark is from Andorra, from the National Library sited in Casa Bauró (Bauró House), an ancestral house. This bookmark is about "Ex-Libris Casa Bauró", an annual publication produced by this library, where you can see everything published in Andorra throughout the whole year.

It is a simple bookmark but it was designed with a great care and a very good taste. The paper quality is awesome. I like it very much ♥.

Bahrain

The Hand of Fatima is a beautiful symbol in many ways. Not only the beauty of the different representations but its meaning: the Hand of Fatima is a protective symbol that brings us luck, health and good fortune. Sometimes the hand has an eye that protects us against the devil eye. I love this very pretty amulet-bookmark very much ♥ .

I have to thank Sri, a very pleasant person who lives in Bahrain, for his help to find a bookmark from this country. It is always so nice to meet people so kind and so helpful. It is one of the great things of projects like this one :). Wonderful world!

Lithuania

This bookmark was a unexpected gift from other bookmark collector, Liudmila, time ago. It is a touristic bookmark from Kaunas, the second largest city in Lithuania and it shows us a part of the beautiful castle in this city 

The book which was my model is "Purest pleasure. A book of garden gossip" by HLV Fletcher.
