Love these bookends. Like Terry said my shelves are full of books but book ends help on the shelves that don’t have ends.
Too many books, not enough shelves! I use books for bookends!!
Loved them all!! The bears with cubs made me think of reading to my “cubs”! My brothers would have gotten a kick out of the
“Bear & Bull” bookends. Really, there was something for everyone! 🙂
These are awesome bookends! Some of these are so inspirational! I actually have the geodes & love them! I have some that have praying hands on each one & are made of a plaster in cream with gold highlights. I also have some that are made of wood with initials engraved. I have another set that have the fleur de lis. My husband has a set of wood & plaster with eagles that are beautiful! I also have a set that is simple – just black made of metal. Thanks for sharing. I may have to adopt some of these as well.
Who has room for bookends? My shelves are full of books.
