About this Product
"Drink Tea, Read Books, Be Happy" vintage, silver plated bookmarks.
All of our items are ~hand stamped.~ We use a hammer and a metal punch to make an impression in the metal. Letters are hand aligned, so placement of letters may vary from piece to piece.
All bookmarks are thoughtfully made with vintage, silver plated spoons. Some are more than 100 years old. Bookmarks may be slightly bumpy and the letter placement may vary from piece to piece depending on the flat and bumpy areas of the spoon. Some letters may be darker than others, and some parts of the spoons may contain more patina and wear than other parts of the spoon. This is the personality of the bookmark that makes each one unique. The spoon bookmark will never be perfectly flat or in like-new condition.

Silver Lining Stamping
Meet the Maker
In 2015, I exchanged the crazy hustle and bustle life near a big city for coastal island life. It's the best decision I've ever made with my husband, 13 year old daughter, and 10 year old son. Salty sea-life is the perfect place to be. I hope you love my personalized, hand stamped items. Enjoy!
In the local Oak Island or Southport, NC area? You can find my items at the following retail locations:
The Coastal Cottage (gift shop and home décor), Southport, NC
Crossroads Gathering Place (gift shop, home decor coffee shop), Oak Island, NC
How it’s Made
I source all of my vintage, silver plated spoons. All spoons are cleaned, flattened on an anvil, hand stamped (one letter at a time), the letters are darkened, bent, adjusted, and polished. Each bookmark is a one of a kind!
This item is not able to be personalized, but please contact me if you would like a custom item.
Shop Policies
Welcome! I am a (very) small 1 person studio. My family and I really appreciate you business and support!
Please contact me within 1 hour of placing your order if you need to cancel for any reason. If your item has already shipped, I can not cancel, reroute or refund the order.
Personalized items are not returnable or refundable. If your personalized item is not personalized correctly, please contact me with a photo, so I can correct this for you.
Hand made items are not returnable, but in the rare circumstance a return is granted, the item may but subject to a restocking fee of up to 50 percent of the purchase price. Christmas ornaments and other holiday items are not returnable or refundable even if they were never used. Return shipping labels are not the responsibility of the seller. Please ask any questions BEFORE ordering to avoid a return/exchange situation. As a small business owner, my items are not priced to absorb the cost of returns and return shipping labels.
Once items are turned over to the USPS, I no longer have control over the delivery time of the item. I provided a tracking number with every order that can be tracked through the USPS website. The USPS receives the shipping fee and controls all aspects of delivery. If you are having trouble with delivery, please contact the USPS or me. I would be happy to help if I can.
Holiday seasons (Thanksgiving, Christmas, Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, and Father's Day) are extremely busy. I process orders in the order they are received. Please look at the processing time of the item. This is the time it takes for me to hand make an item. The shipping time is the time the USPS takes to delivery the item. The processing time + the shipping time = the time it takes to receive an item. Thank you!
