Bookmark Cards are making a comeback, and I can certainly see why. What an adorable surcee to give a sweet friend! What is a Surcee you ask?
Surcee sometimes spelled "Cerci," or “surcy” Most who use the word Surcee are from North Georgia or the Carolinas, but the term also found its way into Alabama and even Tennessee and Indiana. I learned the word probably originated from the Scots verb “sussie,” meaning “to take trouble, to care, to bother oneself.” This probably came to Scotland from the French “souci,” meaning “care, trouble.”
Here in the south it means a thoughtful, unexpected, unnecessary, & inexpensive gift. My Mom and Grandma always brought back Surcees to my brother and I whenever they went on a trip. We always looked forward to whatever treasures they'd bring back to us. I still have some of them: seashells from the Florida keys, Canadian coins from Quebec, or flower pod Grandma brought back from the Holy Land.
