Haul: Bookmarks from Little Joys of Life.

Long time no post.

And long time no Bookmark Haul!

Who am I even?!

Hello Loves, I seem to have taken a hiatus of sorts this month.

This month has been very busy and blogging took a back seat. Luckily, reading didn't take a backseat. My monthly wrap-up will be up tomorrow. So look out for that.

For now, let's talk bookmarks.

You know things I love as much as books!

I love love love Bookmarks, handmade ones even more.

Sanchari over on Little Joys of Life makes some lovely art. This is my second time ordering something from her. Last time I got two painted postcard sized art prints of a very Bengali lady and gent.

This time I got myself two gorgeous bookmarks.

Look how stunning.

First up, how freaking cute is the packaging?

Just seeing this in my mail made me so happy.

So thoughtfully packed and she went ahead and sent me a ton of freebies.

:))))

All very gorgeous.

Some bookmarks and two postcards.

I will share those soon too. This post is for our *main characters*.

Handwritten messages are the best!

So cute.

I got these Telia Rumal bookmarks.

Telia Rumal is a double ikat weave from Andhra Pradesh.

I love ikat, to me it is a timeless and flawless piece of art. I have everything from ikat clothes to bags and scarves and totes, so it made sense to get a bookmark as well.

I fell in love with these when Sanchari first shared these.

I actually dreamt that I had ordered these and then I went ahead and ordered them.

And these babies are a dream.

Sanchari has outdone herself.

You can get these bookmarks with a quote and I chose these words that really resonate with me.

I chose this quote by Rumi, which I want to dwell on and imbibe and live by.

For the other one I chose an Arabic proverb I first heard in 2020 and I can't tell you how much I needed to hear it.

Gorgeous.

I am so glad I own this little piece of art.

You have to go and check out some of the beauties Sanchari conjures up at Little Joys of Life.

Ordering from her is always a smooth and fuss free ride. She keeps you updated from time to time, shares tracking...all the small business joys!

5/5 would recommend.

I love my bookmarks and am already using them.
