This is another exciting post from us, the Gribook Accessories bunch.
You know a little bit about us already: we like books and making pretty accessories, and are a bit geeky to boot. There’s one more thing about us we’d like you to know today.
We heart Moldova.
Yes, we do. Not all of us at Gribook Accessories were born in this beautiful country. But we all share a love for its people and a desire to represent it as best as we can.
This being said, we’d like to introduce you to our brand new:
Moldovan Souvenirs
Bookmarks, bows and brooches – we made all these out of typical Moldovan fabrics. Our Moldovan accessories make great souvenirs for those who visit our country and want a little reminder to take back with them. They’re perfect as small gifts to take back to dear family and friends.
They’re pretty, light and affordable – describes the best souvenir, doesn’t it?
Now for some pictures.
Moldovan bookmarks. If you have been to a Moldovan village, you would have seen our babushkas wearing head-scarves that look like this. They’re so colourful, they’d brighten any day, however miserable.
Moldovan bows. One of the things Moldova is known for is it’s fields of sunflowers, it’s richness of flowers and plants, and the beauty of its lands in the summer and fall.
With our bows, we hope to capture a tiny bit of the sun and the colours of a Moldovan summer.
Moldovan Brooches. These brooches will brighten any outfit, if pinned on a garment, a scarf, or a headband. We have a couple of examples below.
You can see the Moldovan Souvenirs collection in more detail on our Facebook Page:
You can also ask us about Moldova if you’ve not heard of it before (it can happen to the best of us!)
Before you go, do leave a comment and tell us us what you think of our Moldovan Souvenirs.
So, how do you like them?

Foarte frumusele accesoriile. De unde ai gasit stofa. din cite stiu e foarte scump. cel putin cind m-am interesat de un batik de al babushkai, ap’ m-am mirat de costul sau.
Spor la vinzari!

multumesc!
Stofa am gasit’o cam greu – dar am gasit’o 🙂 In cel mai rau caz, avea sa mergem sa la sat, sa le cumparam de la batrinele, pentru ca deobicei ele au mai multe in stoc 🙂

I think this is such a great idea! I liked it from the moment you mentioned you wanted to do something for Moldova.
Seeing your love for our country is an encouragement for many people around us. I pray and hope God’s blessings over Moldova and I hope you continue to share the spark and inspire hope in many people.
Besides, these items make awesome souvenirs!

Beth – we might do in the future, we’ll just have to figure out a way to do that!
If a team from CA is coming this summer, we could send them through them. Would that work?
We might have other Moldovan accessories until then, too.
Thank you so much for the encouraging words, beautiful!

Beth – thank you 🙂
I probably didn’t do a very good job explaining. But yes, this is exactly what we’re planning to do: make pretty and modern accessories out of Moldovan batic. We’re working on more ideas now, so this is only the beginning!
Really glad you like it!

I love the fabrics Elena! The bows and bookmarks are my favorites, and I think the flowers would make adorable barrettes, and might be more marketable that way.
