The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

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!  As you may know, I have been loving using the Bullet Journal set up for a few months now. Since May, to be precise.  I love it's convenience and I love making lists in it.  Honestly, my BuJo is basically my place to make to-do lists in!  I meant to share these pictures a long, long time back..but well...it kinda slipped through the cracks.  But better late than never.  This was my BuJo set-up for June and July.  I used this utterly beautiful fabric dori from Lyra and Co made in this stunning Rifle Paper Co fabric.  I was so happy using this set-up that I used it 2 months in a row.  I decorated my dori with this bow that came in one of the Planner Society Kits.  I felt like they went well together.  The dori has a pocket on the inside and I used it to store some cute die-cuts and stickers, which I use in the course of the month.  I used this first notebook in May.  ...

Hello!!!  Today I want to share a very, very special book haul.  This June marks 4 years since I started this blog of mine.  And I thought it would be fitting to mark this anniversary or blogaversary with a little bit of celebration.  My sister pretty much read my mind and got me this gorgeous, gorgeous boxset to help celebrate my book blog.  😀 Welcome Puffin Bloom Boxset to my life and bookshelf! 😀 I cannot tell you how much I love this beautiful boxset.  I've had my eyes on it since little sneak peeks were being released before it was even released.  If you didn't know I am madly in love with all things Rifle Paper Co. I love their stationery and their aesthetic is life.  I own notebooks by them and I am even considering getting a planner from them next year.  I love, LOVE their art style and when these books came out I was so smitten.  😍😍😍 Yet I didn't buy them right away.  Why? Well I ...

Hello!  Week 28 was a week of the having a cold and feeling like my head was whoozy and I just felt awful for most part.  But there was making mug cakes.  Reading a lot.  Watching some movies.  Naps.  And just taking things easy.  Honestly, I didn't take that many pictures but let' see what week 28 looked like in my world.. Day 189: Pretty and simple light fixtures. So minimalistic and yet such a statement piece.  Day 190: A sudden and intense craving for cake was satiated by making simple yet delicious mug cakes.  The one featured above is a chocolate and coffee mug cake.  All you need is.. 3 Tbsp Flour  3 Tbsp Butter  2 Tbsp Cocoa powder  1 Tbsp Coffee poweder  3 Tbsp Sugar  1/4 th teaspoon baking powder  1/2 a beaten egg  Mix it well  Spin in microwave on high for 3-4 minutes (depends on the power of your microwave)  and you...

 As 2014 draws to a close, we are going to be doing a round up of several favourites- planning tools, books (obviously!) and many other things! We're starting with planners and journals because now is the time to buy whatever planner/ notebook/ journal that you are planning on using for 2015. Let's get into it, then! Frankie Magazine , an Australian magazine full of beauty and lovely things, brings out its annual diary every September-October. These beautiful diaries feature high-quality paper, pretty patterns and several paper goodies like stickers and post cards. If you love pretty stationery and want a beautiful cloth-bound diary, then do get yourself the Frankie 2015 Diary .  I stumbled upon the Hobonichi Techo (techo=book in Japanese) earlier this year via Instagram. I immediately fell in love with its graph paper pages and the beautiful paper, which is very ink pen friendly. For 2015, I have bought the Hobonichi Techo in an A5 or 'Cousin...
