Booktok Ornament Novels & Stories

There was some sort of writing on the book’s cover, but I didn’t understand whatever language it was. “Open it.” I heard a faint whisper. “Did you say something, Aisling?” I turned to my sister, but she shook her head. Her eyes were as wide as saucers watching me unpack the trunk. I turned my attention back to the book, and as I reached out to touch the book, a necklace fell out of the silk. I curiously picked up the chain. It had a dark brown leather cord and heavy brass crescent moon dangling off of it. Black gems encrusted the moon, making it beautiful in an eerie kind of way.

Me and Dakota usually only came for the weaponry stalls, they would only consist of Swiss army knives and daggers, but we loved the different kinds and how some of the handles on them would be nicely engraved or decorated with colour and jewels, we never went home without a new one. Dakota bought one with a metal handle decorated with red thorned roses and skulls, I bought one with a wooden handle engraved with the moon and outlines of wolves faces, it looked old but felt strong and slightly heavy in my hand. I then made my way to the book stalls, purchasing two really old books that smelt like a library. Even though we had a library in the village I couldn’t help but still buy some just to

Nicollette told me, walking towards me with a small box wrapped in silver paper with a royal blue bow. I smiled at her as I took the gift, & unwrapped it. I opened the box to find a silver ornament shaped like a crown. I pulled it out of the box & turned it in my hands. On the back was an inscription that read: "Timekeeper Queen of Witches & Wolves, created to bring about a new era for both. Queen to many, beloved family member to few. Loved & Adored by all." Underneath the inscription was my name & the year.

No one would emerge from this unscathed. "There's more." Horatia prodded with a cheeky smile as she pointed to the center of the book. He tugged a long slender strip of crimson silk out from the center pages. Too long for a bookmark, it was embroidered with silver stars and crescent moons. "I thought you might find other uses for that." Horatia nibbled her lower lip with a gleam in her eyes. Damn the woman, she was perfect. Too bloody perfect. The attention of the others in the room was diverted by Lucinda and Lysandra admiring Audrey's new fawn gloves.

I mean, there’s no one to stop me now and It’s so boring inside that manor. I guess it is fine. “Oh my gosh!” “Wow, this is cute!” “No. It is beautiful!” I can’t help but to smile seeing that they liked my present. My present was a painting of them, Venice and Jasmine, together with two ornaments which is a pair. It was quite expensive because I ordered it from China. These hair ornaments were made of the finest minerals and stones. And was handcrafted by the only ornament maker alive. I can remember how my bank account cried after I bought those but it is worth it seeing their reaction.

Her aunt gives her a small smile and nods, Celine finds the bookmark and opens to the page. The woven bookmark has a faded blue tassel and was made of woven threads depicting wolves running in a forest, at the bottom of the bookmark was an old wolf’s tooth with a hole drilled through to be able to tie it onto the bookmark. She puts it to one side to look at the page it had been marking. It looked much like many of the others she had seen flipping through. But its words had her feeling like her world was slipping through her fingers and she was unable to do anything to stop it.

It’s more likely that a draught from the door or windows disturbed the pristine alter cloth. My gaze passes over the objects on the table, white candles, willow branches, bundles of herbs, trinkets and tchotchkes. My eyes settle upon an open book, the pages are loosely bound and the gilded illustration depicts a woman being lifted into the clouds by two sets of hands. In my awe of the tome I forget about the potential stowaway. I must have this book, the people are no more, so it will not be missed and I cannot fight the urge to reach out and pluck it from its resting place. It is cumbersome to hold, even with both hands and I have no idea how I will hide it from Halen.

I gasped when I saw it was, PANTONE VIEW Home + Interiors 2024 book. Oh my god!! The book provides a comprehensive guide to contemporary color trends that can be integrated into interior design projects. I showed the book to Aunt Sophie and Joseph, Joseph looked confused and Aunt Sophie gasped like me. " Wow! It is such a thoughtful gift, keeping your interest in mind. " She said and I nodded. Then with care, I unwrapped the second gift and was surprised once again. It was a Rotring 800 Mechanical Pencil. " What is this? " Joseph asked.

He looked around the designs and colors of the ornaments, seemingly to be looking for something. "Choose one," he said eventually. "What did you choose for me?" I said as I looked at the ornaments too and examined them as he did. I glanced at the one that has a small chain. It was longer than my fingers and its end point has a flower-like design. Its handle was full of small jewels and the side has a comb-like form to have it prop onto the hair. He pointed to the one I was staring at earlier, the one that caught my attention. "Here," he said.

Noel went to the table, facing his back to the big orb. "Let's see..." He put the note on the table. Then, with both hands on the table, he stood straight and closed his eyes while he imagined the look of the book he was searching for. "Lore of Elm." His thought sounded. The books on the shelves behind him began to shuffle on themselves and the orb color turned slightly violet. After a few moments, a few books floated onto the table beside where Noel was standing. He scanned through the books one by one. Then, he spotted a book with a red cover and black words written on them. The title on it was...
