For the real collector, you will now and then find yourself in an interesting situation. I’m talking about large books. Yup. You know what I’m talking about. Bottom line, a big book needs a big book marker. No way around it. I have often started reading a small book and had no problem finding the right marker for it. But a large book never seems to have the right size I’m looking for. It’s worse than a pair of shoes that fits wrong and it can be annoying. I love big bookmarks because they fit big books. I seem to leave markers in my books and I like to have a balance to their place holders. The other option I have often referred to is the clip style bookmark for my larger books. But the clips always leave a mark. I have some big books I don’t want to mark. Books that have been in the family, gifts, and books I have purchased. So, I use big book marks and my pages stay nice and my big bookmarks work just fine. Souvenirs from Italy Italy is an amazing place.

PATINA Patinas are films that develop on the surface of a metal, wood, or other substance over a period of time. In many instances, the development of a patina is considered desirable and may actually enhance the value of the item. One of the more desirable forms of patina have to do with the gradual development of a brown or green film on metal objects. Due to exposure to open air and the natural process of oxidation, an aged metal such as copper and bronze tend to develop a patina that is often a pleasing shade of green. Domes and roofs on buildings that feature sections of copper tend to develop this green shade over a number of years. The patina is often anticipated in the original design of the structure and is an effect that the owners look forward to taking place over time. A patina also often develops with various pieces of jewelry over time. In the case of jewelry that has reached an age where the pieces are considered antique, the presence of a patina is thought to enhance the overall appearance and value of the jewelry. When this is the case, cleaning the jewelry to remove the patina is not considered desirable, as the action will actually decrease the value of the piece. Leather goods may also develop a pleasing patina over time. Leather jackets and belts will take on a darker brown patina as the material begins to age and become suppler to the touch. This is one reason that many people prefer the look of aged leather to the look of a new leather garment or accessory. The patina adds an air of being a comfortable and valued item, rather than something that just arrived from the store. Add a map to your own listings. FREE Trial !
