SheSue Experience

What’s the best souvenir? A bookmark. It’s inexpensive, very easy to pack and describes the area you were visiting through pictures and words.

I started collecting bookmarks a long time ago. My mother traveled extensively and loved to bring home souvenirs. Like I said, what is easier to pack than a bookmark? Since I have started to travel a little, I have continued my collection. Today I have over a hundred bookmarks.

I worked at a library for many years and found some fabulous bookmarks left in returned books. One of these days I will actually organize them in some fashion. Some of my favorites are one from Hawaii made out of a taro plant, one carved from wood, one folded origami style, and of course, one shaped like a bunny. (check for a future post on my collection of bunnies). Here is a picture of a few of my favorites.
