This week I’m sharing the bookish items that I love. From bookmarks to art. It’s a bit of everything. Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and Bookish and is hosted by The Artsy Reader Girl. 

I have a love-hate relationship with bookish items. Sometimes I love them and can’t get enough of them. And then there are other times, where I’m trying to find a place for them to go, or figure out what I should be doing with them. But today I thought I would share some of my favourite bookish items. Some of these I have, some I wish I had. And some are just general bookish items. But here we go. 

Bookish Related Art: I am a massive art fan generally, but there is something about bookish art that just makes me want to buy everything. Whenever I go to con’s like Supanova and Oz ComicCon, I end up spending way too much money on art – but really, I never regret it. If you have any favourite artist that do anything bookish, let me know! 

The House of MinaLima: Talking about bookish art, I’ve been a massive fan of the world that MinaLima brings out, and this includes their amazing interactive/pop up classics. So when I went to the UK earlier this year, I had to make a stop at their store. And let me tell you I had to stop myself from buying more.  If you haven’t had a chance to check out their items please do! 

Bookmarks: I have a massive love-hate relationship with bookmarks. Because I love having them, I love buying them. But do you know how many I lose? I don’t know where they end up, but I can never find bookmarks when I need them. And most of the time I end up using whatever I can find. A receipt, an unused tissue, my phone. Even my work lanyard. 

Pins/Buttons/Badges: While called different things around the world, they are all the same thing. And I love them. These are another thing that I just keep on buying. I love getting a mix of the really fancy ones, and the simple circle buttons. I love wearing these on my work lanyard, and I like changing what I have every couple of months. 

Keychains: I seem to like things that I really don’t need many of. And keychains are one of them.  I love finding new and exciting keychains that I want and sometimes get. I don’t need really more than one, but I want more than one. And there are some really amazing artists out there.

Bags: Whether it’s a tote bag or a backpack, I love getting book-related bags. There is always a need for bags, especially tote bags here in Victoria now. And I can never stop myself from getting more and more. They always come in handy and I love seeing the different designs. 

Candles: I don’t think anyone will be surprised that this is on my list. I love candles in general, but bookish candles always hit the mark for me. Especially when they are done well. I love being able to smell things from books especially when they are described in the book and they smell exactly how you thought they would. 

And that is it for this post! What are some of the bookish items that you love? Do we have any that are the same? Let’s Chat!
