 Hello Loves!  Let's haul something seriously cute today, shall we?  I got some absolute adorable things from Doodle O Drama , a place I've had my eye on for a while, her art is so cute and squishy.  Let's see..  Perpetual Mood.  This one just spoke to me.  Look at his tired little face.  I cannot even with the accuracy of this feeling.  The rest of the gang.  We've put these guys on our Raskog carts, and they add so much quirk to our stationery carts.  Now for the bag.  Emotional Baggage, something we all cart around, but has it ever looked this wholesome?  I think not.  Look at these faces!  I cannot with the cuteness.  Just look at the expressions.  Miffed but cute.  The bag is huge and spacious and very well made and super sturdy.  I used it as my planner bag in March and it held all of my stuff and I think this is the perfect size for daily use and even a spot of travel.  The shop i...

 Hello May!  Hope this brand new month has been treating you well!  This is what the first five days of May have looked like! My sister and I have been reading The Adventures of Feluda by Satyajit Ray and we've been sneaking in re-watches of some of our favourite Feluda movies (which is ALL the Feluda movies)! :)  May is also all about mangoes and we've been enjoying our Alphonsoes a little too much!  Not all of them have been 100% sweet and with those we make a little aam makha, which is a simple mango much with sugar, salt, pepper and mustard.  My current read! Loving re-reading these lovely stories!  New books galore on the iPad! Excited to read all of them!  The Bhooter Raja and his motley crew! This tote bag houses my planners this month and I love it!   Setting up my journal pages for a new month is such a meditative and fun activity for me.  Days are warm and long and I am envying those parts of the country that are experiencing ...

Soon. That post is coming soon.  I had just the best weekend. I went out, Bandra and SoBo- Bookshops, Cafes, Silver Shops and hanging with people and so much fun conversation and just good times.  I am so happy.  As much as I love being home, it's nice to step out, dress up and do things.  :)  Here are some glimpses of my life lately...

 Hello Loves!  Hope this Friday is treating you well.  :)  It's a rainy one in my corner of the world.  For this week's Friday Faves, I want to share a small but beautiful haul from a small shop. One that I came across on IG and bought from back in April I think. The shop is called Kuuuusum and it's owner makes some truly lovely thing.  I love the things we got from the shop and I am so in love with the gorgeous painted creations.  We got three things in total.  Two pouches, that are quite large and roomy.  And one circle sling.  Here is everything.  This Maa Lokhi Sling was love at first sight.  Look at how utterly stunning this is.  I can't wait to carry this out, might just save it for Pujo.  :)  So so so pretty.  The painting is flawless.  The bag itself is fairly roomy.  If you know us, you know how much we love pouches and can't pass up a beautiful pouch.  This one we loved and my siste...

 Hello Loves!  Time to share a little haul from recent times.  I love all things handmade and painted and things that are unique.  I came across Ayenaa on IG a while back I had to get myself some of her beautiful creations.  We, sister and I, picked two totes. One pouch and one sling bag.  Here is what we got.  This is the pouch. Look at the beautiful art and look at those colours.  This is the tote.  Look how gorgeous.  I love the woman and the bird. This one my sister picked out, she loves birds and we love the old fashioned Bengali vibe of this one.  I also got myself this circle sling bag. The oodles of yellow and the this portrait really called out to me.  The bag itself is quite roomy and wonderful and even though it's small, it will fit all of my essentials. I also like that the strap is cotton and not leather or PVC, it goes well with the vibe of the bag.  And finally I got this beautiful owl bag for myself. I LOV...
