I am joining Guiltless Reading for a Bookmark Monday meme. I love her bookmarks and don't know where she finds the variety. Well, I was visiting a museum in Antwerp the other day, and found these three bookmarks in the shop. Of course, I cannot help buying bookmarks, I just love them.
The first is on a view over Antwerp depicted on a cabinet in the excellent Plantin-Moretus museum.
The other one comes with a painting by Willem Van Haecht, 'The art room of Cornelis van der Geest" from the house of Rubens.
The third one is a poster for the Red Star Line.
Lovely aren't they? Are you also obsessed with bookmarks?
These are lovely!!! I'm drawn to the second especially --- to be surrounded by so much art and beauty! Thanks for joining in this week, and hope to see you once again on BookmarkMonday!
ReplyDeleteYes, it is a wonderful painting. Imaging to have such a room in your house! Thank you for hosting this meme, it is great. There are a lot of wonderful bookmarks out there.
DeleteI adore every single one of your bookmark finds. Like you, I cannot throw a bookmark away (and then I'll go make them, too!) But none like this!
ReplyDeleteYes, they are great. Great to hear you are doing your own. I am as well, and I hope to find inspiration by other bookmarks.
DeleteI really, really like The Art Room... Glad you had time to pick up the bookmarks.
ReplyDeleteYes, it is really a wonderful painting. One of my favourites. You can find the full painting here:
