Stationery Sunday: Filter Haul

Filter is a charming little store tucked away in a quiet lane off Rhythm House in Kala Ghoda.

Filter has really unique and beautifully crafted stationery and is a store we love visiting. We found ourselves in Kala Ghoda recently and so, walked down to Filter and picked up a few bits and bobs.

Here is our Filter loot! 



 New Yorker Cover Postcards. Look at these pretty prints! These, apart from being postcards, can also work as bookmarks or as planner dashboards, if you are into planners.





 The old-fashioned bus ticket! Sigh. Brings back so many memories. Love this A5 bus ticket notebook, which was bought mainly for the pretty ticket cover. A charming bit of nostalgia.




 One of our more adventurous home library projects is to have bookplates on all our books. We have toyed with the idea of getting actual paper bookplates or get a custom stamp made, which says 'From the Library of Pooja' or some such...



 



 .. so far we haven't decided on the approach, but then we saw these pretty bookplates at Filter and thought may as well buy some and get started.. We could possibly still get a custom stamp made.. but these are a good way to get started, me thinks! Aren't these just sublimely lovely?



 Bookmarks. 
One can never have enough bookmarks, in my opinion!


 


 Love the quality of these bookmarks as well as the lettering. So pretty!

   

So, here it is- our Filter haul! :) 
 
If you love stationery that is unique and off-the-beaten track, then Filter is the place to check out.

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.

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 most well kn
