In my previous post of a bookmark from Costa Rica I had to admit that I not only didn’t know where Costa Rica was, I also wasn’t sure where I got the bookmark. Well, I know where it is now (because I looked it up), and I know where this bookmark came from. I have a friend who brought it back from her vacation! And what a treat it is, with a picture of a sloth, a creature that is not just native to Costa Rica but also my spirit animal.
According to a slip included in the sleeve this one came in, it’s made from recycled banana fiber paper that was 100% handcrafted in Costa Rica by artisan Bernald Rojas Rojas. The ribbons, in case you were wondering, are the colours of the Costa Rican flag.
I’ll bet you had no idea before following this blog that the world of bookmarks could be so educational, various, and exciting!

I thought it was a puppy dog until I spotted the claws, then I thought it must be a wolverine, which just goes to show I know nothing about sloths, though I do now I suppose.

You can learn so much from bookmarks! More than from some books even.
