Hello, April! + Stationery Sunday: First Impressions of my Small Delfonics Pouch

Hello, April!

I hope it's a gentle summer!

I hope you are full of delicious mangoes!

I hope you usher in my favourite Gulmohar blooms!

April is Bengali New Year and in honour of that I will, mostly, be reading books by Bengali authors and re-watch some of my old favourite Bengali movies. So, look for some book and movie recommendations from me this month!

Sneak Peak: Delfonics Small Pouch

I have wanted one of these Delfonics pouches ever since I saw them somewhere on Instagram! They are, originally, meant to be used as a purse organiser, but I plan to use them to cart around my Passport sized Traveler's Notebook and all my assorted supplies- washi tapes, stickers, pens and such like.

The buttons and pins are just things I had lying around at home:

(Left to Right)

Indian Spices: From Filter Shop, Kala Ghoda

Owl: Boy Girl Party on Etsy

Yellow Converse 'Wander': Asilda Store

Flower: Accessorize

Girl Button: La Dolce Vita

So far, this is what the outside looks like. There are 5 pockets outside.

From Left to Right: Two pockets in the front and 1 Pen Loop and two more pockets at the back.

I have prettied it up with some buttons and pins and I have tucked in some pens that I use on a daily basis:

1. Kaweco Perkeo Fine Ink Pen

2. Zebra Sarasa in Brown Grey

3. A Uni Pin 0.2 Pigment Fineliner for drawing

4. A 'key' gel pen

5. A cute lime green gel pen

This is what the back looks like- two small pockets and one large pocket, where I keep sticker sheets.

These pin on the left is from Etsy and the cute birdie is from Lifestyle.

Inside the pouch is, like I mentioned earlier, my Camel Passport Sized Traveler's Notebook.

Hope you all had a lovely weekend!

Happy Easter (to everyone who celebrates it)!

Have a great week ahead, guys!
