Do you use bookplates? I am an ardent fan. I have a lovely little collection of vintage-y bookplates, but recently I've been bookplate shopping for more, or a company that I can set up as a vendor for our bookstore. I was blown away by all the adorable paper companies out there. So far I haven't been successful in finding what quite fits our academic store, but I am personally a huge fan of the following.
Soooooo. . . tell me what you think! And if you know any booklovers who are turning the big 3-0 in a couple of weeks, this is just the sort of gift that would keep her feeling youthful! (I like "Home Sweet Home," and "Hello Deer" from Paper Princess best, hint hint.) :)
Here's Paper Princess -- all their stuff is cute!

Thank you for the links! My husband and I keep saying we need to get bookplates for all our MANY books. Now, I don't have any excuse :-)
God bless,

I like the last two links - And I recognize a couple of the ones from Bookplate Ink that someone must have given me once upon a time... ;)
I hope you get everything you want for your birthday. Please drop by and visit my blog. I have passed on an award to you. Later, Trish
Gretchen,
I really love some of the ones from the last link. Very charming.
I think I need to get Amanda some for her constantly growing book collection.
Blessings,
Barb
Barb! You simply MUST! How memorable. How are you all? Andrew home for the summer? College going well? Emily goes to school here at the undergraduate college, but is home for the summer of course. We love having her here, as you might imagine. Tell everyone hi!
I love those!
I think the felix dolittle ones are gorgeous!
