Project 365 2015: Week 31.

Hello! 

Week 31 was a busy one. 
It was a week of preparation of my parents arriving here.
Cleaning. 
Tidying up. 
Also thinking of my reading plans for August. 
And delightful packages in the mail. 


Let's see my week in pictures..


Day 210: My Big Red Bag arrived first thing in the morning and I was so utterly charmed by the coasters and the literary quotes on them. 


Day 211: My new FabricDori arrived in the mail..well it was shipped to a friend's house in the US and when she came into town we got it. I called him Cecil in the memory of Cecil the Lion who was cruelly and mindlessly hunted and killed in Zimbabwe. 

Cecil is from Foxtail Threads an Etsy store. 


Day 212: Mint loves! A compendium from Kikki K and a planner in a matching colour from Love Doki. We were cleaning up a storm and moving our planners and journals to the bedroom on this day.  



Day 213: Pretty boxes I use for storage. The black and white one is for storing glasses and sunglasses. The floral one stores craft bits and bobs, like lace and ribbon and pom-poms.


Day 214: Outfit glimpse. Print-love from Anokhi, perfect for hot and humid Bombay afternoons. 


Day 215: Cookie love. Like seriously, these freshly baked cookies from Indigo Deli are the best thing ever. We got two choco-chip ones, one peanut butter and one dark chocolate. So good! The peanut butter one was hands down my favourite. I can't wait to go back for more. :)  


Day 216: LOVE. Pugs on a fauxdori. What is not to love?!!! And just look at their expressions! Just look!  This is from Lyra & Co's Etsy store.


Hope you've had a good week too! 

Be back soon with some book reviews tomorrow. 

Take care!

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 most well kn

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
