This week’s bookmarks are brought to you by the fabulous Fraggle, who sent them all the way from the north of England. Gibside and Wallington Hall are both heritage sites and I was thrilled to see that the National Trust still have these embossed leather bookmarks in their gift shops. Because what’s a nicer keepsake than a bookmark? I still have a bunch of them from my visit to the UK in the 1970s (see some from Scotland here), but I don’t think I was ever in Northumberland or Tyne & Wear.

They go well with the Scottish ones!

I have a few more old (1970s) English ones I’ll post too. Maybe they’re worth a lot of money now!

If only they’d perforated the bottom so you could pull off the little strips and have yourself nine mini-bookmarks!

I think they’d be too small!

Hard to credit, I know, but some people read paperbacks. : -)

Not any more. Mmpb’s are no longer being produced. Get them while you can…

I really like those fringed leather ones. Won’t do me any good with my eReader, sadly.

E-readers definitely had an impact on the bookmark business. You used to always be able to pick up free bookmarks at libraries and bookstores but almost never anymore.

That does it! After Greenland, Canada is next on the chopping block.

Apparently Donald was offering $100,000 to every Greenland citizen to buy the place outright. I won’t come that cheap!

I think I’ll move to Greenland and see if I can get that 100K.
Do people still eat poutine? I thought it was outlawed as a health hazard or something.

They eat lots and lots of poutine.
