Monday Moods: Favourite Corner of Home- Penguin Moderns + Shelfie Love!

Hello! 

I am a complete homebody. I am happiest at home and it takes a lot of incentive for me to leave my happy place. So it's important to me to have my home reflect who I am and be cozy as it can possibly be. 
In the last month, as I was battling ill health I turned an otherwise boring corner of my home into a book nook. I got the book bracket off of Amazon and use it primarily to hold some books I intend to read in the near future. And I store all of the Penguin Moderns I own in one section because it looks pretty! So why not?! 



I also hold some stickers and bookmarks in one section of the book bracket. 


And here are some of the books. 
I am quite impressed just how many books it holds. 
You can just look under Table Organiser on Amazon and find a bunch of options to choose from. 


Fabric paints in a leaf shaped tray. 
This leaf thingie is so old. We got from Chinhat in Lucknow in the late 90s. I use to hold my fabric paints. 


My perfume corner. Currently mostly a Forrest Essentials corner. 
The Nargis Body Mist is a dream. 
I also love the Mogra cologne. 
The button from Alicia Souza describes me to a T! 


An Ugly Doll I love and call Pugli. My sister got her for from Boston in 2010 and I love her derpy little face. 
A pen stand. 
My old iPhone with my favourite cover.
And my glasses.  So I remember to wear my glasses more often! 

Hope you are having a splendid Monday. 
Mine has been oddly productive. 
Washed a load of laundry and changed all the cushion covers of most of my cushions. My home looks as good as new. 
:)

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...
