You know I cannot have enough bookmarks (yes, because I go on and on about it, haha).
I’m also a fan of Sherlock and Harry Potter and Merlin and … oy!
I want, I want! 
These are bookmarks made by Beth Yates and sold in her Etsy shop, bethydesigns. They are utterly a.d.o.r.a.b.l.e.
Meet John Watson and Sherlock:
I stumbled on this today while looking for something on our favorite Austen novel. I don’t think I can let the day pass without sharing it.
That snippet is charming enough to tempt you, I’m sure, so click here or on the image for the full illustration by cartoonist Jen Sorensen. (via npr.org)

My sister sent me this delightful picture book, InDognito: A Book of Canines in Costumes by photographer/designer Karen Ngo.
I am not one to put my dogs in costumes. It’s already hard enough for me to imagine just how itchy it must be to have fur, hehe. But one time I bought a red tank top for Bruno and he looked cute in it in a canine Johnny Bravo kind of way but the husband said he won’t ever walk a dog in a costume (on the dog, not the husband). That effectively put the brakes on my non-existent up-and-coming career as a dog stylist. 
Anyway, the book is a pleasure to flip through. Ms. Ngo obviously has a wonderful way with pets and however you feel about putting dogs in costumes, you have to admit she really upped the adorableness factor in these.
