ACCESSORIZE WITH GABALDON'S OUTLANDER MINI BOOKS

As I mentioned in the previous entry, these miniature book pendants are so versatile, the possibilities are endless! 

WINE CHARMS
I initially thought of them as a collection, so why not use them as wine charms?


If you do any entertaining at all, these would look lovely draped on stemware


or with a little creativity, you can use them as generic beverage markers



CELTIC STAR PENDANTS

I fell in love with the mathematics of weaving chain mail (figuratively and spatially) when Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings Trilogy first came out. The Celtic Star, a classic form in any weaver's repertoire, is a stunning piece of artwork in itself. When combined with the Outlander mini books, it is simply breathtaking!


It can be attached to a number of things. A split ring turns it into a keychain,


while a corded clasp turns it into a cell/mobile phone charm,


which during the Holiday season, doubles as an ornament



COLLECTIBLE BOOKMARKS

Resembling a shepherd's hook, these “Hookmarks” are so named because they hook over the spine of your book. This unique design resists falling out, won't damage the pages of your book (no more dog ears!) and fits over the spine of any size book. The Outlander Celtic Star bookmark is made of lead-free Tibetan silver and measures approximately 155 x 30 mm. 


Dangling from it is your choice of **any one** of the Outlander mini book pendants.


The difficulty is in just having one so, get one for each book in the Outlander series! 

MINI BOOK EARRINGS

The earrings measure 1.5 inches (30 mm) long, from the top of the French hook to the tip of the mini book pendant. 



Dangling from each is your choice of *any one* of the Outlander mini book pendants. A complimentary pair of clear plastic earring backs comes with each set. Use it and you won’t lose it! 



You can check them all out at Just Charming! 

Got any suggestions? requests? Let me know by posting a comment (see above).
