I’m popping in today with a quick post because next Sunday is Mother’s day and some of you may be wracking your brains over something unique to give mom for her big day. This is an old post but I’m recycling it today because it has been a favorite of my readers and has been featured in so many places.
Quick and easy bookmarks made from vintage (or vintage look) jewelry. The original post with complete step-by-step instructions can be found right HERE!
As a mom, I can assure you that this is something I would love to receive as a gift myself, especially if it was tucked in book like the one below. This short illustrated book shows the unconditional love between moms and their children and it is one that always makes my daughters and me shed a few tears. Your mom will love it!

So pretty! A friend wrote a book a couple of years ago that I like to gift (le Coeur n’a pas de rides, or the Heart Knows No Age–true stories about love late in life, by Marina Rozenman), and these would add another special touch. Plus I have quite a few earrings whose mates I still hope to find. This would be a good way to make peace with them.
Such a clever idea and so pretty!
Gorgeous bookmarks. There is something about dusty pink velvet that is amazing. Happy mother’s day!
Aw, these bookmarks are very pretty and would make such a perfect gift for someone who loves to read. Pinned to share. Thanks for sharing your post with us this week for Brag About It!

These bookmarks are beautiful.
These are beautiful. I am pinning these to my craft board…only because I don’t have a “beautiful gifts” board! I forget about bookmarks, and you are right, that is a lovely way to personalize the gift of a book. I still enjoy reading actual books, not on tablets! Thank you so much for sharing over at Celebrate Your Story! link party at Celebrate and Decorate. I hope we see you again next Monday at 8:00 PM.
I love this idea. So clever in repurposing for a thoughtful and pretty gift!
Beautiful bookmarks. Visiting from Jemma’s party today. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
What a beautiful gift and Happy Mother’s Day!
I love your cute bookmarks.
I have until May 22 to make gifts for 5 family members for a special outing for high tea in Beverly Hills. Everyone is a reader so these might just be in my future.
Thanks for sharing with SYC.
What a nice ideal And a special gift.
These Bookmarks look really special and I love the idea of making them vintage! I love to read and this would be a lovely gift to give and receive! Thank you for sharing at Sweet Inspiration #5! Have a lovely Weekend!
So pretty Patti. I will feature tomorrow at Home Sweet Home!
