I adore supporting small businesses so what better way to do that – apart from purchasing things – than share them with you guys?!
So, officially this week’s topic is “Ten things I’d have at my bookish party” but, in these times, I’m going with “Five small businesses I love and you’d probably love as well”!
All banners link back to Goodreads if you feel like checking them out.
Felfira Moon Designs is a small business that focusses on different things. Next to gorgeous enamel pins that would fit a lot of us, the owner also creates resin tricket trays. And, to top it off, there’s the occasional other item as well such as stickers and upcycled pin banners! Here is an example to give you an idea of what this small shop is all about:
Ash and Quill Candles is a small candle company owned by Leonie. She makes some of the most magical-smelling candles I’ve gotten my hands on so far and I often can’t resist to buy some! The last ones I bought are two favorites from The Vampire Diaries – Klaus Mikaelson and Caroline Forbes. They smell so good.
This company also sells a monthly themed box – definitely worth checking out! Here’s a picture I took of my latest purchases:
Jemlin Creations is by far my favorite company when it comes to bookmarks and art prints. The style they use is out of this world. I don’t even know how many bookmarks I’ve bought so far but there’s a lot. Bonus? It’s not all bookish characters! I also have some bookmarks featuring Pirates of the Caribbean, The Nightmare Before Christmas and other characters! I truly love their style and will keep on buying even though I’ve long passed the point of “needing bookmarks”, haha.
Love what you did this week! I’m going to have to look them all up. 🙂

I don’t buy any bookish goodies (even when there’s free swag, I would probably give them away) since it’s just not something I collect. Other than bookmarks! But these shops are amazing. I’m especially in awe of those pins. The artwork is really good.

Right? I also love bookish candles – though I admit to having too many – but I like burning them when I get to take a looooong bath, haha.

That sounds so relaxing. I’m sure with your full Jamie Days, you appreciate making your baths as relaxing as possible too!

This is a lovely idea! There’s a lot of small businesses on Etsy that I love, one of my favourites is Fable and Black, they do so many cool items! I also really love Cartaban Cards, they do these really cool prints that are book covers printed onto pages of old encyclopaedias!
