 June Begins….quietly and kindly. Books. Bookmarks. Totes. And delicious Banana Bread. 

 Happy Ray Day to everyone who celebrates.  Satyajit Ray is hands down my favourite Filmmaker, Writer and Bengali 😎 There will never be another quite like him.  So every year on his birth anniversary I re-read some of his stories and re-watch some of his incredible films.

 Hello Loves 🤍 Monday was happy in my corner of the world.  Here’s why…. Got this very cute Book Lover tote in the mail. I’m going to make it my book tote. To keep my current reads, my Kindle and iPad in one place.  It’s from Bookscharms store.  I also got a whole bunch of bookmarks, which I’ll share soon.  A happy start to my week. 

 I am totally into totes. The last 3 years has seen me become low key, well high key obsessed with totes. I also use them pretty much every single day.  I have a Planner Tote which holds all of my Planners and Journals.  Then I have a reading tote, that holds my current reads and some annotating supplies.  And I have a tote for my Laptop and iPad and Kindle. So three totes are always in circulation.  I change up said totes once in a while..like today.  Moved into a new Planner and Reading Tote, so thought I’d share.  This yellow gingham quilted tote is a recent find. It’s from the brand Orla that I got via Amazon.  I love the Springy and happy vibe and I’ve always loved gingham. This is spacious enough to hold all of my planners and journals.  And it has a zip which is great and keeps my things dust free and safe.  I filled it up and everything fits in just perfectly. It was some slip pockets inside that are perfect to store some of my s...

 Hello Loves!  I sure do love reading and my books.  Here are some glimpses of my reading life lately.  My book tote. A soft crochet bag to hold two of my current reads.  The Frog 🐸 pouch holds my headphones.  A pouch to hold my annotation supplies.  Page flags and books.  Am reading📖  Books on my iPad.  Books & Coffee☕ Warm and fuzzy and lovely. 

 Monday Blues.  Some hints of blues from my camera roll.  📸 A pretty tiny bookmark. From Plain Paper Page on IG.  A fabric ring from Mela by Shreya that I love  A blue blockprint sheet and a book that made me a little blue.  An armful of bangles.  A tote from Lific and a phone cover from Taaga. Love how well they go together.  And finally the bluest skies. Not a cloud in sight. Everyday views out my window. 

 Hello Loves!  2023 has been the year of Tote Bags for me. I fell in love with tote bags and went a little crazy buying totes all year round and I have no regrets. I mostly bought from small businesses and got the cutest works of art.  Here are some Top Totebags of 2023. In no particular order.. Here we go..  1. Studio Joyeeta: Starting off with a forever fave Joyeeta, who started a merch line and we for two totes (obviously) and this lady is my favourite.
