The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

Hello Loves! Time to share some adorable bookish goodies I've recently added to my life.  You know I love a good book sleeve...a little too much some might say. A few months ago, I came across Sangrah on IG and ordered some goodies from them. They recently had some amazing offers and some new prints (not on sale) and I treated myself to some book-sleeves.  Here are my newest, squishy sleeves in all their glory.  I have done a haul showing my loot from them last time, you can see that post here.   Prints, Prints, Prints.  All very bookish.  Here is the first one, slightly with a vintage vibe. I love the vintage-y stack of books and the bundle of letters.  This one is a perfect size for a Kindle or an iPad Mini or a small paperback. My sister is using it for her Kindle at the moment.  This one might just be my favourite.  I love everything about this print, the colour and the illustrations.  So so so cute.  I am already using this on...

Hello Loves!  This week for Stationery Sunday I want to share some seriously adorable things.  Bookmarks & Some matching truly adorable mini-art.  I ordered some bookmarks from Tori a few weeks ago to support the Covid Relief they were contributing to. A win-win situation, support a fundraiser to help people and get something absolutely beautiful. I got a set of embroidered bookmarks (I will share those soon too) and these guys. I am so happy with everything. But these little guys just blew my mind and so they made to the blog first. The embroiled bookmarks are lovely too and I'll be sharing them soon.    I mean, just look! So freaking adorable. I cannot stop looking at them.  So tiny.  So cute.  And these were a very, very thoughtful and kind extra goodie she sent me, for my journaling.  I am so touched!  :)  Thank you so much Sharmistha.  Of course, the bookmarks themselves are lovely.  Floral aesthetics for life! I ...

 Hello Loves!  Time for another bookmark haul. This haul is actually an old one...from September of 2020..I think.  I spotted Artoverted on IG and her bookmarks had my heart. Pressed flower anything makes me so happy and I cannot have enough of them. So I got a few of her pressed flower bookmarks and some other ones as well.  Bougainvillea and Aparajita look so beautiful together.  Aren't they so beautiful?  I also love the moon and music bookmark, something so old fashioned and vintage-y about them.  This one is so special.  Music and Water Lillies.  The Water Lillies is a picture I clicked in 2019 while driving around in North Bengal. We were on the way to the Tea Gardens and came across a canal full of water lillies.  I chose a song I loved and listened to like a million times last year, I am no Swiftie but this song had me obsessed all of last year and I wanted to have it on this bookmark.  Plus, I think the song and picture go ...

 Hello Loves!  I am clearly, and quite happily having a bookmark moment right now. I can't seem to get enough and I am completely fine with it.  I recently got these beautiful pressed flower bookmarks from Tazz Bookmarks and they are just perfect.  I chose each quote and I think the flowers and words just belong together.  "In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer."  ~ Albert Camus.  For a bookmark with a bed of roses I chose one of my favourite Camus quotes.  I felt it went well with roses and this year, and this time that we are living through.  "Nevertheless, She Persisted."  ~ Kim Baker  A feminist sentiment and one that I want to hold close and chant when things get difficult. Persist. Survive.  Slay.  I think it looks fitting with these dried flowers. It just makes sense.  "Screw Perfect. I'd Rather be Brave."  ~ Hannah Brencher  Bravery > Perfection A...

 Hello, hello! For today's Blogmas post I want to share some beautiful bookmarks I have added to my life recently-is. This year, for obvious reasons, my shopping has been slowed than usual. The only things I've not quite been able resist are bookmarks.  I mean...I who can resist bookmarks?  Not me! For sure.  My sister came across this very talented artist on Instagram and ordered a bunch of bookmarks from her to surprise me around Durga Pujo. Her name is Shruti and you can find her HERE . You can DM her to place orders. She also does art prints in various sizes too.  When she beauties arrived I was completely surprised and thrilled to bits.  What a splendid way to surprise me!  I am so in love with these beautiful bookmarks.  *They are hand-painted.  *Floral.  *Gorgeous and such good quality. *Stunning use of colour.  *Her work is truly special.  **You need these babies in your life. ** She also sent this circle, almost coaste...

Hello!  Subho Navami.  Today has been so gorgeously rainy here in my small town.  It's been raining allllll day and it's properly cold and lovely. I've spent most of my day on the terrace watching the rain and soaking up the joy of a blissful rainy day.  Today for Stationery Sunday I want to share some beautiful bookmarks I bought a while back from this Instagram shop called Rimjhim Artopia. These are gorgeous works of art and each bookmark is stunning and painted with so much love and brilliance.  :)  I was so happy when these arrived.  Uff, so beautiful.   Love these winter cottage scene bookmarks. Makes me long for winter days and nights and being in the middle of nowhere with a fire burning and a book to keep me company.  And now some absolute floral beauties.  These guys were love at first sight.  This peach one might just be my favourite. I think I used to own a Fabdindia kurta in the same print. So this reminds of happy summ...
