Friday Favourites: Things That Made Me Happy This Week.

 Hello Loves! 

I took an unintentional break from blogging this week. 

Well. 

Life was a little busy and somehow I didn't end up posting her. 

Well.

This has been a largely good week. 

I read a lot. 

Mostly horror. 

Watched a lot of Malayalam films. 

Art Journaled. 

Got some books in the mail.

It was restful and nice. 


Here are some things that have made me very happy this week. 


New journals to fill up with words and art. 
These are from Alluvial India. A new discovery that I have already gone back to for more. 

&
My sister's new Kindle case.
It's from Amazon, from a brand called Swook. 



Pretty packages.
Bookmarks from Hastnirmit by Mansi. 
Look how beautifully she'd packaged everything?!



My biggest joy has been creating little spreads in my tiny journal. 
I do three to four pages in one go and it's been a great way to unwind and be present. 
Plus it's so much fun. 




And finally much joy was brought on up this gorgeous package from Debdyuti, it arrived this morning and I am so so pleased with everything. 
The packaging and the little stickers she's made are just beyond gorgeous. 
I will share what's inside very soon. 
:) 
But do go and check her out and get yourself something lovely from this very talented girl. 
Everything we got from this time is in support of a local charity. 
So beautiful things and helping those in need. 
All good things! 


I am going to save every bit of packaging to use in my journals. 

:) 

I hope you guys have been doing good and staying safe. 

I will see you soon with a bookish post.

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...
