Today's Etsy Finds were curated by Jennifer of the thepaintedlily. Visit her wonderful Etsy shop, or just check out what she found below!
love to read. Mystery, romance, classics—anything. What's better than sitting in a comfy lawn chair in the backyard, the warm breeze on your skin, a cool glass of lemonade (with a sprig of mint, please) and a great book? I love to read all year round, but summertime and reading really go hand in hand. I have put together some wonderful Etsy items that will certainly catch the eye of any bookworm.
What a perfect tote for a trip to the library! This roomy bag allows ample space for even the most voracious reader's library appetite. I am a big penelopeparker fan and have one of her bags from her pre-Etsy days. It is the sturdiest, most well made and beautiful bag that I own. By penelopeparker, $30.

Created by a fellow reader, this beautiful locket even includes one of the artist's favorite Dickinson quotes: "Hope is the thing with feathers, that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without words, and never stops at all."

This book is just the thing to keep track of what books you've already read. It comes with a handy rating system to help you remember what your thoughts on each book were, including "bound for the trash," "soon forgotten," "let me tell you about this book!" and others. It's a really cute journal idea and a wonderful gift for any bibliophile! By greenchairpress, $10.

I wish I could grow this tree in my backyard: it would save me money on bookstore purchases and library late fees (I know...tsk, tsk). The colors and the quality of this print are amazing! And shhh...don't tell my sister that I bought her the 8x10 version for her birthday! By atwhim, $7.

I am a librarian (some of the time) and as such I am a bookworm, I was beforehand too. I love these picks! :)

Etsy is a great place to shop for books, zines, journals, book bags, book covers (to protect a special book), book marks (I spotted these cool bookmarks yesterday that allow you to make pages and pages of notes while you're reading):

I thought that was a brilliant invention. (I'm always shoving pieces of paper into books and then trying to figure out what to do with all the loose pieces of paper when I'm finished reading the book.)

My faviourite reading place is in the bath, the only issue is when I accidently drop one in and it swells up! Would be great to see some handmade book bath supports on Etsy :-)

I sometimes have to choose between a good book, a good craft project and the most important of all SLEEP! Check out my book marks. I have an angel keeping my spot all the time.
