Friday Favourites: Murakami + NOTD+ Tea + Kolhapuris + Miss Giggles.







Hello! 

Hope this Friday is treating you well. 

I am a little bummed out this Friday. The passing of Alan Rickman makes me so sad. :( He was such a gifted actor and he was so wonderful as Snape but he was also so much more. This has been a  week of losing legends. David Bowie and now Alan Rickman. 

:( 

Moving on...

My favourites this week are... 

1. Murakami..he celebrated his birthday earlier in the week and this got me thinking of how much wonder he squeezes into his books and how much I adore his writing. A Happy Belated Birthday to my favourite author. 

2. My sister's feet in a pair of classic black and gold Kolhapuri sandals. 

3. &4. NOTD...meaning Nails of the Day...or in my case Nails of the Week. Seriously, does anyone really change out their nail paint on a daily basis?! 

First is Copper colour which I really liked and was perfect for Fall/Autumn and really just about any other time...I am not one to be all..colours for the season! Any colour and season is more my speed! 

The mint/aqua colour is also so soothing and lovely. 

5. Little Miss Giggles...what is not to love?! 

6. Tea...a little view into my Tea Shelf...one of my Tea shelves. I collect a lot of Teas and don't nearly drink as much as I ought to. I am intrinsically a coffee person even though I come from a family of Tea Planters :) 

Have a lovely weekend guys. 

I for one plan on drinking some Tea! And making good use of all the Teas I have on hand. 

& 

Read.

Book Review: The Room on the Roof by Ruskin Bond.

Some snippets of the stunning art inside the book!  Book: The Room on the Roof Author: Ruskin Bond Illustrator: Ahlawat Gunjan Pages: 171 Read On: Hardback How Long It Took Me To Read: 3 days or so. Plot Summary:   Rusty, a sixteen-year-old Anglo-Indian boy, is orphaned and has to live with his English guardian in the claustrophobic European part in Dehra Dun. Unhappy with the strict ways of his guardian, Rusty runs away from home to live with his Indian friends. Plunging for the first time into the dream-bright world of the bazaar, Hindu festivals and other aspects of Indian life, Rusty is enchanted … and is lost forever to the prim proprieties of the European community.  General Thoughts: This book is super special. Not only this 60th anniversary edition an absolute beauty. This is also a signed copy I picked up from Mussoorie when I was in Landour earlier in the year. This is perhaps one of Ruskin Bond's mo...
