………………………………………………………………………………….<\/p>\n

Now, for the bookworm! Here are a few lovelies…<\/p>\n

\"PJB_xmas09bookworm\"<\/p>\n

clockwise from top left image: wooden bookmark<\/a> just US$8.00 from bliss in a tea cup<\/a> location: Vancouver; literary quote pinback brooch<\/a> by bookity<\/a> US$7.50 location: UK; silk sleep eye mask<\/a> US$16.00 by naomi lingerie<\/a> location: Melbourne Australia; a bunch of vintage classic novels, including such tales as Gullivers Travels. This bunch<\/a> was recently on auction on ebay, but I suggest you head down to your local second hand bookstore and find some great old classics – this year I read The Secret Garden, Robinson Crusoe, and Treasure Island for the first time since I was a wee lass and all of them were wonderful. A stash of vintage versions would make such a great gift for a bookwormy kinda-gal (comme moi<\/em>).<\/p>\n

………………………………………………………………………………….<\/p>\n

I know most of these gifts aren’t necessarily made with renewable materials etc, but they are handmade and\/or vintage and this all helps. There should be lots of ideas in there for the lady in your life and if you are a bit of a handyperson, you could try making something inspired by what you see above, with materials you have on hand.<\/p>\n

Now I must confess,\u00c2\u00a0 I completely forgot how\u00c2\u00a0 much work these gift guides are. I’m wondering if other bloggers have some fancy smancy ways of making the task a little easier, I have a feeling my version of doing these guides is a little archaic and completely time-consuming. I shall not pike out on you though, but I will need a little more encouragement to continue if you are enjoying these and would like to see more. A little shout out, a little “keep up the good work” or something, anything along these lines would give me the extra energy I need to keep this momentum… merci mes amis! px<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
