Monday Moods: Shop Love-- Gaatha.

Hello! 

For this edition of Monday Moods I want to talk about a shop I've fallen in love with. I love their selection and their aesthetic is everything I love! :) 
Handmade Indian handicrafts..everything from stationery to bags, stoles, puppets, toys, utensils and so much more. I highly recommend you give their store a look and even if you don't buy anything..just reading through the website and finding out how things are made and the process and history behind them. So enjoyable and enlightening. 

Here are some of the things I found utterly charming... 


Being a stationery fan I of course perused through their selection and loved this Mashru striped notebook. Love the colours and the print is lovely. Such a great little notebook to  carry around in your bag and make notes on the go. 


Puppets! I am a fan. I always have had a puppet or two hanging around in my living space to brighten my home. I currently have a matching husband and wife puppets from Rajasthan that I picked up from Jodhpur. 

These crocodiles are so cute and so unique. Will add a dose of colour and mirth in which ever room they are housed in. 


I am a bag lady. 
Love me some bags.
And these gorgeous Kalamkari bags with vegan leather are just darling. 
I love how understated and simple and elegant these bags are. 




This shawl is perfect for grey winter days. Such a gorgeous dose of colour and embroidery. 

There are many other such lovely things in the site that I am so in love with. 

Go see Gaatha. 

It's a new love of mine.

P.S.- These images are not mine. I claim no credit for them. :) 
And I have not been sponsored by this brand to talk about them. I genuinely liked their aesthetic.

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...
