September 4 update: My secret santa asked if she could spend some extra time making my gift, and we agreed that she would ship it out after the deadline for the exchange. Once shipped, it took so long to arrive (all the way from Hungary!) that I had stopped expecting it. Today I encountered a color explosion in a plain white envelope! I am floored by the level of attention and care this santa imbued into these bookmarks. I love that each creative choice she made was specific and deliberate: for example, she mentions in her card that the calligraphic script of several of the quotes is Bastard Secretary. Her skill with color is beautiful to behold. The Mary Oliver quote was my special request, and I couldn't be more pleased. I think I might just end up staring at these bookmarks when I use them while reading. And yeah... I will be using them for a long time! Thank you SO MUCH for crafting such a lovely set of art pieces!!!

EDITING AGAIN just to say I LOVE THEM!!!
