Top Ten Tuesday was created by The Broke and the Bookish but is currently being run by That Artsy Reader Girl. A prompt is given each week, and I hope to do it every week so I always have something going up on Tuesdays. This week I am talking about the bookish items and merchandise I've had my eyes on for so long and would love to own! I am not great at buying bookish merch because I end up feeling shoppers guilt almost instantly, but if I could convince myself to buy some merch these would be the ones I'd get!
I decided to go through my Etsy wishlist and realized I had SO MANY bookish merch I wanted, so I narrowed it down to ten items from seven different shops on the website. I love Etsy and often buy from Etsy, especially lately for my wedding. So I am excited to talk about some of my favorite shops!
So let's jump right into it!
Frostbeard
Frostbeard is owned by a married couple, Roxie and Tom located in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I have longed to buy their products for so long but I haven't been able to justify buying a $20 candle. However, I really want their candle wax melts! I love wax melts and I hope one day I can buy some of theirs because they sound like they smell so good. I have so many of them on my wishlist but currently these are the two I really want.
Description: Spend a snowy weekend in town with your best buds! Give a toast to your recent escapades while the sweet, spellbinding scents of butterscotch and caramel drift among the shops and pubs of your favorite all-wizarding village.
Description: Ah, crisp autumn evenings - perfect for gathering around the campfire with a mug of hot cocoa, roasting s'mores, and telling ghoulish tales. Whether you're the type to coward behind a blanket or one who loves to be scared, light up with frightful fall fragrance while reading your favorite spine-tingling ghost stories..
Scents: Dry leaves, campfire, cocoa.
Dust and Pages
Dust and Pages is owned by Ruthie, who is located in Forth Worth, Texas. I actually had been following the Dust and Pages Instagram for a long time, admiring their products, but I just recently got a denim jacket and started looking into more enamel pins to put on my jacket. So of course I had to add some of Ruthie's products to my wishlist because I love them so much.
Description: The three basic magical categories all witches and wizards should study. Spells, potions, and jinxes. This super cute book stack pin is perfect for any amateur magical student! In lovely shades of purple and black, it is perfect for the Halloween season or to wear year round.
Description: "There's Dull London, Kell London, Creepy London, and Dead London."
Show your love for the Shades of Magic series and the four Londons with this beautiful lapel pin! It features a mini section of a map of London with the Aven Stras running through it. The red section of the map is the only full circle of the bunch because, let's face it, Red London is the best.
Sew Feathers
Sew Feathers is owned by Robin and is located in Apex, North Carolina. I recently learned about this shop when someone on Instagram was talking about their gorgeous booksleeves. I really want to own a booksleeve I just haven't pushed myself to buy one. When I do, it'll definitely be one of the two below.
Description: A specially designed, lightweight, padded sleeve to protect your books from wear and tear. Standard fits most books including paperbacks and regular sized hardbacks. XL will fit your biggest books! Made out of quality cotton fabric & thread. Durable foam padding front & back.
Standard: 10.5x8.5 inches
XL about 12x9.5 inches

MyBookmark
My Bookmark's owner, Olena Mysnyk, is a young Ukrainian brand dedicated to making uniquely designed bookmarks. I've had this particular Harry Potter bookmark on my wishlist for longer than I'd like to admit. I absolutely love how cute it is and one day I'll definitely buy it for myself!
Description: MyBookmark Magician is for those who still believe in the magical world, at least between the book pages. It's a very special present for reader from 6 to 80 years old.
Touch of enchantment is in every detail. Made by hand and with a strong belief in Good that beats Evil. Always!
PoJainter
Jo is a freelance concept artist/illustrator living and working in the midst of Soho, London. She's one of my favorite artists and I will forever love her art. I have followed on her Instagram for a long while and when she posted her announcement about this particular print even before I read the book series I absolutely loved it. Now that I have read the trilogy it makes me want the print even more. She has done so much art for so many authors from preorder goodies, covers, to amazing fanart.
Description: Printed on satin paper (A4 - 8.27 X 11.69 inches) and hand signed by the artist (digital signature will be replaced with a hand written one).
MoledroCraftCo.
I couldn't find who is the owner of this shop but I did see that it was located in Mobile, Alabama. I hadn't heard about this shop until Victoria Schwab talked about these gorgeous Red, Grey, White, and Black London prints they've done. I want them all, but especially the red one.
Description: Hello fans of A Darker Shade of Magic. Represent your favorite London with one of our prints. You have the option to chose between four sizes. Shipping costs vary depending on the size.
Dust and Pages' pins are so beautiful! I've been following them on Instagram for a while and I've been drooling over them quite a lot. Haven't bought any yet, but I'm planning on it next year, hah. I want some kind of wall art piece with bookish pins eventually so.. they're the perfect shop to help me along with that!
