The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 Hello Loves.  I've finally started decorating my planners and journals for 2025.  This morning I set up Blog Planner, which is a simple and classic Field's Notes notebook.  Here's a little look:  Planner Setting Up is my favourite thing in the world. ❤

 Hello Loves!  I spent my morning with my Journal & Planner lineup for 2025.  There is nothing quite like having Planner Peace.  Here is a look at some tinnnyyyy journals I have lined up for the first quarter of 2025.  A classic Field Notes Memo Book for my Blog Planner.  I will be setting it up and sharing what it looks like with you soon.  A tiny Pocket Notes notebook from Piko store as my Film and Shows journal.  I love how tiny and petite my line up is looking . A tiny notepad from La Dolce Vita to use in my planner.  A linen covered journal from a brand called Kitabby (found on Amazon) that’s going to be my Reading Journal.  Sitting cozy in a little crochet bag, that is a new addition to my life too. 

Hello September!  Be good! Be kind! Bring lots of joy!  Wanted to share an old-ish haul with all of you today! So, our love for Rifle Paper Co. goodies is well documented on this blog! So, when our other favourite- Lyra & Co.- had some beautiful pouches and Traveler's Notebook (TN) covers in Rifle Paper Co.'s new fabric range, we simply had to have something!  The first thing we got is this pencil case/ make up pouch in a navy floral print with a contrasting "cork leather" base. Look at how pretty this fabric is!  The new thing is the same print on a white background. I think the print looks even better on a white background! Will be using this as my main pencil case during September-October.  This is a Field Notes sized TN cover, which housed my Bullet Journal (BuJo) system in July. Love it! The aqua background also makes all the flowers pop!  The last piece is this Hobo...

Hello!  Sharing some journal and notebooks that I love.  I am a stationery hoarder and I wouldn't have it any other way!  :) I can't resist a beautifully made notebook and the prospect of filling up empty pages with thoughts and musings is a very pleasant feeling!  A fabric dori from Lyra and Co, which was my Bujo for November 2017.  An utterly gorgeous leather notebook cover.  This is the Mr. Darcy in A6 Buttered Rum from Chic Sparrow .  I got this notebook for my sister on her birthday. She has a thing for all things birds.  I adore the illustation and the very old, retro feel of this notebook.  I got this from iTokri.   I love how my sister sets up her doris!  This beauty is from Zenkraft.  It is a Field Notes Pro-Sleeve.  :) A set of turtle notebooks from Fabindia.  Bought simply because they were too cute to be left behind!  :)  ...

Hello!  September was a special month, it was the month of Durga Puja so I went a little all out to deck out my Bujo.  My set-up was a little bit extra this month.  I personally loved how my set-up looked. I love, love, love the fluffy little nerdy darling. I have had it sitting in my closet for so long and finally decided to use it in September.  Look at that derpy little face!  All the bits and bobs I carry in my Bujo.  Stickers.  Pens. Felt clips.  A cat pocket to hold sticky notes and some diecuts.  My Pottering Cat bookmark and a bow pagemaker to add to the decor.  :)  Told you, I went all out!  First page decor.  Some die cuts and stickers and washi tape.  I even used a special notebook this month.  My field notes Luna edition.  So pretty.  Some pages/// Wishlist for every month.  Goals for the month.  I ...

Hello!  As you might know, we've been getting the monthly Planner Society Stationery Kit for a few months now..around 8 months and we are a big fans. Every month we get a box of goodies from them with everything from a pen, papers, stamps, stickers and pencil cases. It is amazing!  ( Sadly, our kit didn't make it to us in May, which bummed us out rather!) But apart from this small mishap, we've loved our TPS kits to death!  So, when we saw they had some fauxdoris and some other planners in their shop, we were very intrigued and decided to get one and see what we thought about it.  We feel in love with this print, in which we have a washi tape and some papers from a previous month's kit. I love, love, love the delicate and gorgeous print!  Let's see the beauty now shall we.. The dori came in this dust bag, which the somewhat trademark image of this chic girl.  We have a similar motif in stamp and in stickers.  Look...

Hello!  Let's kick off this week with some beautiful things shall we?  For today's post I want to share some of the goodies I recently got from iTokri, which is one of my happy places on the internet. Full of handmade beauties and handlooms and handicrafts from India, browsing this site just makes me so happy!  I've been buying little bits and bobs from them since 2012 and I highly, highly recommend you pop on over and fall in LOVE with all of their gorgeous things!  Now on to the beauties I've added to my life recently.  The very first thing I wanted to get was this gorgeous block print wallet.  I was in the market for a new wallet since November.  Since the demagnetisation, I haven't been carrying a lot of cash, I never have really and a mid-sized wallet is perfect for my needs.  This one caught my eye and I fell in love.  It has two main compartments for notes. One is enough for me, so I might use the other ...
