Have you noticed the bookmark on the first photograph? Let's take a closer look.
meet Curly, my fave bookmark ever! Got her as a Christmas gift from a very good friend. |
Can anybody tell me where to find a bookmark as classic as this babe?
I've been rummaging through every single bookstore and school supplies store I could think of but to no avail, I still haven't found one. =(

If you still haven't read it, well sister, go hit the nearest bookshop and grab a copy now!
forever in love and in awe with Little Women,
EU.
