or nail to a post

with one chip to the inside lip

I keep carrying them around as they are just a complete delight to hold in the hand

perhaps done in art/illustration school in the 50s or so--I can take or leave most drawings of that sort

as it is perfectly embodies that history

Old Needlepoint Bookmark with Three Cats loomed or nail to a postMuch better in person, this one made more purely happy to discoverwhat a lot of love went into making this three cat bookmark, done with very small needlepoint stitches. The perfect soft green to set off the trio, best I think the big orange face at center, with very expressive black whiskers! There was once wide green ribbon sewn across the backside, much of which has deteriorated, but a new backing could easily be sewn on if desired. Very charming.
