    Welcome to Fall: 25% Off Handmade Bookmarks!

    The leaves are changing. The air is crisp. It’s the perfect season to cozy up with a good book. To celebrate, I’m kicking off a Welcome to Fall Sale you won’t want to miss!

    From now through October 17, enjoy 25% off all in-stock bookmarks in my shop. That includes customer favorites plus brand-new designs inspired by the magic of fall and the fun of Halloween.

    Whether you’re reaching for a classic romance, diving into a haunting mystery, or revisiting a comfort read, my handmade fabric bookmarks are the perfect companion. Lightweight, durable, and designed to slip over the corner of your page, they’ll keep your place without the bulk.

    Browse the collection today, find your next favorite bookmark (or two), and snag them before the sale ends.

    Happy reading & happy fall! 🍁

  • 2024 Shop Year in Review: Sales Map

    2024 Shop Year in Review: Sales Map

    One of my favorite things about running Kimberlyfaye Creates is getting to send a little piece of handmade joy out into the world—one fabric bookmark at a time. And in 2024, that joy traveled to 27 states and Washington, DC. That means readers and book lovers in over half the country are tucking something I created in their books… and that absolutely blows my mind.

    Every time an order comes through, I smile thinking about where it’s headed. I started tracking each state shortly after I started my shop back in 2022 and it’s been such a fun way to celebrate milestones and growth in my little shop.

    Looking at my all-time sales map, it’s even more exciting—I’ve shipped bookmarks to readers in 48 states! The only two still waiting to join the club? Idaho and Wyoming. I’d love to add them to the map this year and complete the full 50-state journey. So if you’re a book lover in either of those states (or know someone who is), send them my way. I might even send a little something special along with orders to Idaho or Wyoming to say thank you. 😉

    If you’ve ordered a bookmark (or a few!)—thank you so much for supporting handmade and helping my small business grow. Your love for reading and for handmade details means everything to me.

    Stay tuned for 2025 updates!
