Lady Diana and Prince Charles
The interesting bookmark with the picture of Lady Diana and Prince Charles and their wedding date from England. This bookmark is woven and laminated.
Called the "wedding of the century," the wedding of Lady Diana Frances Spencer to Charles, Prince of Wales, took place on July 29, 1981, at St. Paul's Cathedral.
There were 3,500 people in the congregation at St. Paul's Cathedral. Another 750 million people watched the ceremony worldwide; this figure rose to a billion when the radio audience is added in.

The Dalmatian is a breed of dog whose roots are traced to Dalmatia, a region of Croatia. It is noted for its white coat with either black or liver spots.

Poppy
The woven bookmark with a red poppy from England. Simple, but nice.
Poppies have long been used as a symbol of both sleep and death: sleep because of the opium extracted from them, and death because of their blood-red color.

Bookmark and Letter
The bookmark from Mia who lives in Saint Petersburg, Russia. She got that bookmark in one of the bookshops on Nevsky prospect.
Mia wrote me a letter, not a note, but a letter!!! It was so good to read it, because I really miss letters. Frankly, I can't find any spare time to write letters, but I love to receive them :)
Do you like writing or reading letters?

Hamsa
This bookmark with the hand of Fatima (hamsa) is also from Morocco, bought by my sister.
The hamsa is a palm-shaped amulet popular throughout the Middle East and North Africa. The hamsa is often incorporated in jewellery and wall hangings, as a defense against the evil eye.
Another Arabic name for the hamsa (or khamsa) is the hand of Fatima, commemorating Fatima Zahra, the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad.
