Blogmas Day 4: Small Hobonichi Cover Haul

Hello! Hello!

A slightly late Blogmas today because I was out all day meeting some friends and hanging out with them and, then, my sister. Some shopping happened as well.

Speaking of shopping, today I will be sharing a tiny Hobonichi Haul of a few things that my sister received in the mail last week.

My sister is an avid Hobonichi user and she uses the 'Original' Hobonichi Techo for daily journaling. She bought the Hobonichi notebook way back in September and I am going to ask her to do a quick 'My 2017 Planners & Journals' kind of a post in a couple of weeks, so interested parties can see it then. :)





One of the main drivers for this haul was this notebook cover. This is the notebook cover that my sister originally wanted for her 2017 Techo. However, this was a limited edition and was sold out within 2 hours of the site opening up on September 1! So, once it got re-stocked, my sister went back and ordered it. :D Yes, she has a stationery problem! 







This is the Ukrainian Flowers cover. It is hand embroidered and made by artisans in Ukraine. It is just so, so, so pretty! The yellow centres of the flowers are super vivid and this cover made my sister really happy! She was second guessing her decision to buy it, but she is now glad she did because if you follow the link, you will see that this cover is sold out yet again! 







Apart from the cover, she also bought a set of 3 folders. These fit into the back or front cover of the Hobonichi and are perfect for carrying around sticker flakes (individually cut stickers) or other bits of paper memorabilia. It is functional and pretty! :) 




Clouds and mountains. 




A geometric design. Love! 




And here they are- the set of 3 folders. 


Hope you enjoyed this tiny haul. 

Will be back again with a blogmas post tomorrow! 

Have a good Monday, folks!

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...

Review: Grandma's Bag of Stories by Sudha Murthy.

Book: Grandma's Bag of Stories Author: Sudha Murthy Pages: 176 Read On: Paperback How Long It Took Me Read: 2 hours Plot Summary:   When Grandma opens her bag of stories, everyone gathers Around. Who can resist a good story, especially when it’s being told by Grandma? From her bag emerges tales of kings and cheats, monkeys and mice, bears and gods. Here comes the bear who ate some really bad dessert and got very angry; a lazy man who would not put out a fire till it reached his beard; a princess who got turned into an onion; a queen who discovered silk, and many more weird and wonderful people and animals. Grandma tells the stories over long summer days and nights, as seven children enjoy life in her little town. The stories entertain, educate and provide hours of enjoyment to them. So come, why don’t you too join in the fun? General Thoughts: I've read quite a few Sudha Murthy books this year and really enjoyed them. I find them soothing, simple a...
