Gidy ‘Up Leather Bookends by Sandy Vohr

Babble first met artist Sandy Vohr at the 2007 ABC Kids Expo, where we fell for the adorable hand-crafted leather bookends she’s been making for the past 20-odd years. Add to that line these Gidy ‘Up horse bookends, which are hand-dyed and stuffed with fiberfill before being weighed down with steel shot (yep, the stuff that goes in shotgun shells) so they can take the weight of your picture books.

$140 per set from The Red Balloon.
