Costa Rica

This colourful and beautiful bookmark ♥ is from Costa Rica. Thank you very much Hagay for this nice gift!

Portugal

I have noticed that bookmarks is not only related to books, but - in some way - music too. We can imagine hearing a tango in the Argentinian bookmark, or the Condor passes in the Peruvian bookmark, or the music of Violeta Parra in the Chilean one. This time is Portugal that brings us the most representative of its sounds: a fado. If this bookmark had a song it could be "Os velhos amantes" by Misia ♥ (literally, "Old lovers"), that is a song I like very much. Fados are so intense, so passionate, aren't they?. I love them. And, isn't Portuguese one of the most beautiful languages in the world? I believe so ♥. Beautiful soundtrack for this colourful bookmark ♥.

On the reverse of the bookmark there is a text - in Portuguese, English and French - that says:

Athens produced sculpture,
Rome developed law, Paris 
invented revolution, Germany 
discovered mysticism.
- And what about Lisbon?
- Lisbon created fado.

Australia

To represent Australia, nothing better that a Koala bookmark ♥.

Liechtenstein

This beautiful, and colourful, bookmark ♥ from Liechtenstein shows some Alpine flowers and the coat of arms of the Principality. 

I am really grateful to Andrea for sending me this awesome bookmark from her country. Thank you so much! You have been really kind to me ♥. 

Cyprus

Today I show you a beautiful bookmark ♥ , with an oriental air, from Cyprus. 

United Kingdom

This beautiful bookmark from Bath ♥ was a present from my friend Rosa ♥. Bath is an Unesco site and one of  the most beautiful cities in England, world renowned thanks to its common appearance in many classical novels, as Jane Austen's ones.

Israel

I have to thank Hagay for this beautiful bookmark from Israel ♥. It is made of methacrylate and the fish's image is a relief. The special thing about this bookmark is, not only that it is quite pretty, but its material. It is the one bookmark I have in methacrylate. Very original, by the way. 

Kazakhstan

Every bookmark is special, really, and we can learn quite a lot of a simple image. I had curiosity about the flowers of the photograph and, searching on the net, I found that the origin of the tulips are not Holland, but Central Asia (like Kazakhstan). The Karatau Mountains are in the South of this country, and there you can find the Red Hill field, full of this kind of flowers, the wild tulips.

The images of this amazing field are very similar to the photograph in the bookmark, so, maybe it was taken in this same place ♥. By the way, this variety is the Greig tulip.

I want to thank immensely Oxana for sending me this very nice bookmark from Kazakhstan. I really appreciate her kind gesture to help me in this project :). Thank you very much! ♥

Czech Republic

Prague is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. This pretty bookmark shows The Church of Mother of God before Týn and the Astronomical Clock, the oldest astronomical clock still working in the world, both of them sited in the Old Town Square ♥. 

This amazing bookmark was a gift from one of my most dearest friends, Rosa ♥.
