Looking for a gift that will actually be kept?
This handmade bobbin lace bookmark is a beautiful keepsake for First Communion, Confirmation, Christening or Baptism, Bar or Bat Mitzvah — or any milestone worth marking with something made to last. Tuck it into a Bible, prayer book, or favourite text as a gift from a godparent, sponsor, grandparent, or family friend.
Worked in dark pink/plum Egyptian cotton thread using traditional Torchon lace technique, with a diagonal trail of solid lace running through an open diamond ground, then finished with a braided tassel. It measures approximately 24cm x 3.5cm — a small, precious thing that will still be treasured decades from now.
Unlike a printed or mass-made bookmark, this one is made entirely by hand, on a lace pillow, two pairs of bobbins at a time — a craft with centuries of history behind it.
