Monday Moods: Stationery Loves Lately.


Hello Loves🪷

Happy Monday to you.

Unless you’re an Indian cricket fan, this Monday might find you a little blue.

Well, it sucks.

But what can you do? It’s a game and we win some and we sure lose some. You just have to roll with the punches. 

Let’s talk stationery instead. Hear some recent loves of mine. 

A new journal dedicated to my new writing project.

A stash of my favourite stickers. 

Reading Journal pages for this month. 

And a new magnetic bookmark I love. 




Stickers and Postcards.
All part of the process when you’re setting up a new journal.

Found a tin of stickers recently while going through a suitcase.
Mostly stickers from my favourite La Dolce Vita and Bon Stickers and some other older bits from my stash.

The first few pages of my NaNoWriMo journal, a journal that’s dedicated to my work in progress. 
I love how this turned out.

This bookmark from Riya Designs is a new favourite. 

November pages in my book journal.
Before the ink and bookish thoughts.

Love how this spread turned out.
Used bits from stationery kits, mostly elements from Shop ABC. 

 I hope this week is good for you.

I plan on getting back to writing, I took like over ten days from my writing for Diwali and my sister’s birthday. So this week, vacation is over and it’s back to working on my novel and writing my heart out. And editing of course. 

I am also hoping to do a spot of reading, going to start a new book today and read something good. 

But mostly writing and a little less reading. 

Happy Reading Folks. 💛📖📚📁🖋️📝

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.

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
