Emotions overcome me when I see pictures of the Klementinum,  a historic building complex in Prague, which houses National Library of the Czech Republic.  Let us go visit it this year!
There is more information on the Library’s website here. 

These are Madeira wool/acrylic embroidery threads. My dad made special little shelves, they are so perfect for neat storage of the bobbins! 

This little cute thing was under my Christmas Tree. 1900's pressed paper bookmark.
