§ Occasion № i · A Saint's Day
For a nameday,
or a friend's.
A nameday is the saint's day of the one you love. These are the small, carryable things - a card, a calendar opened to the right page, an icon set on the bedside - that mark the day without crowding it.
§ The shelves we draw from
A bundle is
several shelves.
Each occasion is a small library, not a single shelf. Open the shelves that fit the giving and leave the rest in print for next year.
