Bookmarked! #128: Celeb Sex Shenanigans

I’ve talked before about these promotional bookmarks that used to be quite common and that you don’t see as much of anymore. This is a good example, and it’s from the early days of my collection. I don’t know when I picked it up, but the first edition of The Intimate Sex Lives of Famous People came out in 1976. The keyhole shape was a sly idea.

Bookmarked! #126: English Country Estates

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.

Bookmarked! #121: Stained Glass

I had to take this picture from a different angle because it’s a mirrored bookmark and I didn’t want to show my phone’s reflection. I like how you can see through the stained glass windows, and it’s really quite a striking bookmark when you hold it up to a window.
