Each month comes with a card with an illustration and explanation of the theme:
This month is all about blooming and new beginnings.
Rose Bookmark
I'm at the time of mid-February when I'm pretty much screaming at the sky to stop snowing and being grey and bring some sunshine, so I'll take this adorable little rose to brighten up my book pages in the meantime.
Seahorse Bookmark
And this seahorse will also help me with my cold weather grumpiness - it's too cute!
Butterfly Bookmark
All bookmarks have designs on both sides, and magnets to help them hug the page of your book:
Verdict: This subscription falls into the delightful category for me. It might not be a good fit for everyone, but I'm always happy to see these cute bookmarks in any of my book subscriptions, so a subscription full of them is just extra awesome.
The only downside for me is that I was really hoping for some holiday/winter themed bookmarks this month!
Crafted Van bookmarks retail for around $4.50, so the value of this subscription is around $13.50. It cost me about $10.50 shipped, so I still came out ahead. (Plus these designs may be exclusive - I can't find them in their etsy shop!)
