The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 Hello Loves ☺️ I spent my afternoon happily setting up my pencil pouch for the year. This is my big sorta catch all pouch. I also have a slimmer pouch to hold my everyday essentials. Here’s the process and final look.  Here she is all full and set up. I bought this case from Amazon last year but didn’t use it. Then as 2025 rolled up I wanted a big case to hold my pens and I got this out and gave it a whirl.  Added a bag charm too.  Miffy in bed 💜 Here is the slim pouch holding all my everyday pens.  Love how both of them go together 💜🤍💜  Starting off. Charm added. This one is from The Calm Robin.  The mess before. We begin. A ruler and glue and eraser.  Filled to the brim. Very happy with how I’ve organised my stuff. 

 There is nothing I love better than a Saturday that I spend doing the things I love best~~~ Reading, Making myself breakfast and just Feeling Cozy and Happy.  Here is what my Saturday looked like:  I've been in a total thriller mood for the last few days.  I've read some 5 thrillers in the last couple of days and really enjoyed most of them.  These two books were read today, as in I finished reading What Waits in the Woods by Terri Parlato earlier today and loved it.  Then I quickly read The Summer House by Keri Beevis; this one was OK. More focussed on a romance angle than the thriller aspect but still enjoyable.  Got some stationery in the mail today.  Some cute things I'll haul soon.  Look how cute this faux Lamy looking pencil is?!!!  Bought purely for aesthetic reasons 🐸  Cute 🐻🐤🦆🐥 as can be.  Bookmark of the moment.  Full of cute cats 🐱 this one is from Bookcharms.  Hope your day has been sweet too 🥮

Hello, hello!  I hope you're having a lovely Sunday!  We had a sort of lazy and quiet one. It rained a lot here in Mumbai and so, we just stayed in, reading.  I thought I will share my on-the-go planner supplies along with a look at my planner of the moment.  I am currently using this lovely Mustard A6 sized Traveler's Notebook from The Black Canvas , which houses my journal. I love how pretty the colour is and the leather is really soft.    My go-to journaling supplies live in this pen sleeve from Lyra & Co. and it currently houses a Vintage Red-Black Sarasa, a Medium Lamy fountain pen, a Pilot Frixion pen in black ink, a yellow Mildliner and a pencil. All of these pens (apart from the Lamy) are from Cute Things from Japan.  And, last but the least, a closer look at this cute as a button (pardon the pun!) button from Pranita Kocharekar . Have a great week ahead, guys! See you soon!...

Hello!  Hope your Sunday is going well.  For this last Sunday of January, I want to share some very delightful Stationery bits.  La Dolce Vita is one of our favourite stationery shops. Their art and aesthetic is so lovely.  We have tons of stickers from them and some washi tapes too.  This time we got two of their pencil cases, washi tapes and buttons and a reading girl stamp!  Let's jump into all the beauty.  First things we ordered were these two adorable pencil cases/ pencil pouches. Just love the adorable illustrations on both. The one on the left is mine and the one on the right is for my sister! A reading girl stamp! Just the perfect thing that every reader needs! Can't wait to use this in my journal and colour in her outfit and hair! :)  Bought two washi tapes.. one with stationery items on it and another one with illustrations of girls doing fun things- taking photos, reading etc.  A...

Hello!  Today I want to share a little glimpse into my current pencil bag- which is the cutest thing ever!  EVER!  I promise I am an adult but how can you resist something so cute?  This pencil bag is so super soft, it's a hybrid between a cuddly soft toy and a pencil bag!  Gah!  So cute!  Plus it's wide enough to fit a host of my most used pens. Look at that face?!   I had this bag charm from Accessorize for ages and I finally used it now. It makes opening and closing the pencil bag so much easier. Plus I think the Kitty makes this whole set-up even cuter!  A look inside in my pencil bag.  The pencil bag is from Ali Express.  The bag charm is from Accessorize.  The pens seen in the pictures are from Kikkik, Zebra Sarasa, The Planner Society Kit and Pilot. 

Hello!  It's time to share another peek into my Pencil Bag. I will admit right away that this part is a little bit messy.  The picture above is my pencil bag neatly organised and full of pens I use most.  Mostly pastel pens from Zebra.  A few ink pens- one from Platinum and one from Lamy. My Pilot Colleto with multiple coloured inks.  And some stickers and a bookmark and an eraser.  Now on to the my other, more of a holdall for my other frequently used pens!  Let's jump into Pencil Bag.  This massive beautiful pouch is from Lyra and Company and is called a Project Bag which is amply sized to hold a whole bunch of things.  You could easily fit your pens and pencils in it but also comfortably fit a Field Notes sized traveler's notebook in it.  I use it to store a bunch of pens I use pretty often.  This pencil case came in a Planner Society Kit and is a great way to store some of my pens...

1. Pens in my pencil case. I especially love the cute little duck pen, he always puts a big smile on my face each time I open my pencil case.  2. Daisy/// Happiness is indeed a bunch of smiling daisies.  3. Winter Warm Drinks/// I am so happy for winter to arrive. To have warm cups of coffee again!  I am cold coffee drinker for most of the year but I cherish the few months in which I make a switch to hot coffee and hot chocolate.  4. Coffee + Journals/// A moment of quiet and a moment to gather my thoughts and pen them down.  Things I cherish most in this chaotic world.  5. Pretty Pandals/// Ah! Durga Puja pandals are such a thing of joy.  Hope you guys are having a wonderful Friday. And I hope you guys have a lovely weekend too!  Mine will hopefully include some spooky books and spooky movies!  And some Diwali cleaning.  :)
