So my darling bookmark santa, Jen (sorry, I don't know username) sent me a sweet package from New Zealand. Inside was not one, but two bookmarks, and a card explaining them. First, she sent me the coolest cow hologram bookmark. I love cows. I don't know why I love them so, but I do. When they sit down, they look like sweet butter dishes, with heads. Anyway, I digress. Cow. Super cool.

THe second bookmark is a metal one that slides over the book pages. On it is a tiki charm. According to the accompanying post card, the tiki is unique to New Zealand and Maori culture. SInce I know very little about NZ, I'm taking this opportunity to do some research and find out a little more about it.

Thank you, Kiwi Jen for two fun (and very useful) book marks and a lovely glimpse into a culture I know very little about.
