I'm very much a person who likes to wear my passions on my sleeve. Or collar. So it was pretty exciting to treat myself to this little beauty from Etsy recently, having had it sitting in my favourites list for quite some time. It's made by a lady called Rio, of LiteraryEmporioum.
These also accidentally fell into my virtual basket...
Well this one was for my mum, so I had the perfect excuse!
"I've always been a big reader, a geeky nerd who likes non-fiction, but I stumbled on making book themed jewellery quite by accident. I had been making little pieces of sushi out of Fimo for jewellery, and bought some little pieces of wood so I could make a bento box. I was thinking about what other things I could make out of wood and a bookshelf came to mind! I ended up finding a niche in the market, as there was no other seller that made necklaces that looked like bookshelves. Out of their popularity I expanded into books made of Fimo for earrings, rings, etc. They've always been my most popular items, and I meet so many interesting librarians, authors and bookworms who want to wear something that shows off how important books and reading is to them."
Etsy is full of amazing literary-themed items, and a few more of my favourites are below.
