About In the Company of Friends™
Bookplates
Our bookplates feature high quality photographs of historic samplers. The muted designs are in the soft colors and classic motifs of the antique samplers we love. They make a beautiful statement, and ensure that your books always come home to you. Several of them have coordinating bookmarks, so you can give a "set" to your stitching friends. The pressure-sensitive format means they are easy to apply!
We like to carry the plates with no writing with us to events to get an autograph from the authors we are lucky enough to meet in our travels. It's not always practical to carry your books with you, but a few bookplates don't take up much room at all!
The blank plates suggest so many other uses, too - as a small finishing label with just your name and date, or can't you see your wonderfully-organized stash drawers or baskets each identified with one of these handsome labels? Perhaps a gift tag, or to adorn your project bags...the possible uses are limited only by your imagination!
