Hand Drawn bookmark
I recently joined a group that exchanges bookmarks. I am doing my first exchange with Jackie from Belgium. She prefers paper bookmarks, so I picked out some for her and I am including this hand drawn one I made also.
I am also sending her this one from the library:
Jackie likes bookmarks from art galleries, bookstores, libraries and book festivals. As I was going through my book marks to select some to send, I found some from independent bookstores in Tucson that are now, sadly, long gone. Bookstop, Bookmark, Coyote's Voice, the Haunted Bookshop, Tortuga Books (Tubac, AZ), just to name a few. These bookmarks can't be replaced. I lament all the wonderful independent bookstores in Tucson we have lost!
Fortunately we do still have an independent bookstore on 4th Street,

Antigone Books , one of the few left. Another wonderful independent bookstore is The Singing Winds Bookshop located on a working ranch in Benson, Arizona. They specialize in books about the southwest.
