🎁 A Thoughtful Handmade Gift

Pair your Heart Bookmark with a favourite novel, a journal, or a cosy reading hamper. It’s one of those little projects that feels special without being complicated — a small gesture that makes a big impact.

📚 Bookish Inspiration

This bookmark was originally inspired by The Cairo Bridal Shop by Tess Woods — a moving story about three sisters and the threads that bind them. A beautifully written, heartfelt story that stayed with me long after I turned the final page. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you to Tess Woods and Penguin Australia for the gifted copy. The book is available now from good booksellers.
