Reba the Robot Wooden Bookmark

I was out walking around the other day, enjoying the sun, when I ran across the Brooklyn Indie Market. I didn't realize that it was open yet, so I, of course, went in to roam around. There were a couple of designers with some pretty cool stuff (you'll probably see them in the next couple of posts), but the first one that caught my eye was a table with some fun, wooden bookmarks for sale. There were squirrels, letters, and a cupcake, but the one I liked the best was Reba the Robot. Being part of the tech world, I always enjoy when handcrafted meets technology.

One of the funniest things to me about the bookmark is that the back of Beacon Bookmarks' business card says "Read Books Not Blogs"—I'm not taking it personally and it actually made me want to post about them even more :-) The bookmarks are made by a husband and wife team (Jon and Kristy Reichert) in a small town up the Hudson River, and they're made from wood (cedar, poplar, walnut, and cherry, among others) and finished with a clear water-based satin finish.
