The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 Hello Loves!  And a Happy Valentine's Day to You.  Hope your heart is full of love and warmth and you always, always find love for yourself!  I spent my day doing some of my favourite things!  First up, I woke up at 5:40 AM!   A complete rarity in my life and then I went on to have myself a good day.  Fixed breakfast in two parts~ first some chocolate, banana and peanut butter oats.  A cup of coffee.  And then some desi French Toast.  Then I went to the terrace and pretty much spent my day there.  Reading.  People Watching.  Water plants.  And coming down to get some happy mail!  :)  A good day.  Full of gentle joys and guavas and brownies too!  :)  What else can I ask for?  A sun kissed book and a beautiful bookmark.  This one is from Debdyuti Creates over on IG.  A tote to carry my books, Kindle, phone and water bottle to the terrace.  This one is from Jonakir Haat...

 Hello Loves!  I love jewellery and beaded and boho jewellery especially takes me back to my college days and reminds me of walking in flea markets and finding something beautiful and quirky to wear.  When I found Gemini Art and Craft I was reminded of the kind of jewellery I wore as a college student and I needed some of her creations in my life.  I got 3 earrings from her back in February and ordered a fresh batch of earrings this month too.  Here are my new acquisitions.  These earrings were love at first sight.  I love the quirkiness of these beauties.  Love the mix of colours, the textures and the beads and wool and cowries.  I can't wait to wear them.  The Goa vibe is so strong in these babies.  Love love love.  These are made from papier mache...I think.  They are super light weight and so pretty.  Immensely wearable.  These fish friends I bought for my sister.  A beautiful piece that will go with so...

Hello Loves!  Today I want to share some stunning jewellery pieces from Label Maati.  This is my second time getting something from her and her jewellery is truly special.    A bird brooch.  My sister has a thing for birds and so we had to get it.  An over view of everything we got.  Love these earrings.  The good thing is that they are super light weight so wearing them will not be a problem.  Then we have these two gorgeous necklaces.  The one above is a unique design and wonderful colour combination of grey and red, I have a feeling it will go with a lot of different things.  This yellow one might be my favourite!  Yellow. Flowers. Circle. Ghungroos.  Perfection!  Poulami makes such things of beauty and is a wonderful person too.  I cannot recommend her enough.  Everything from ordering to delivery is smooth.  Her jewellery is handmade, light weight and aesthetic and one of a kind.  I highly re...

Hello!  Let's start this Holi week with a splash of colour shall we?  I recently came across this brand on IG  called Tints and Tinsels , that had some seriously cute and quirky jewellery and I needed to get some of this beauty in my life. The shop had a special Valentine's Day sale and I made use of that and got myself 4 pairs of adorable earrings.  These earrings are made out of clay and are super light weight and easy to wear and the colours are gorgeous, even more than they look in pictures.  I love the colours on this one.  The combination of red and turquoise is one of my all time favourite combinations and I have a ton of silver, coral and turquoise jewellery pieces that I love. So this was the first one I chose.  My sister picked out this pair, it's simple and elegant and will go with a bunch of outfits.  This pale lavender pair is so beautiful.  Love the texture on these too.  Th...

Hello!  Today I want to share the cutest little jewellery with you from Vastriyan.   I spotted Vastiryan's jewellery on Instagram at some point last year and I kept seeing her beautiful designs and wanting some of my own. I finally got a few pieces of from her back in February and I am so in love with everything I got from her.  First up, everything is so well made and flawless and the quality is exceptional.  And obviously, everything is super stunning, from the jewellery itself to even the way in which it was packaged.  :)  Look at this embroidered pair of studs.  I love how the colours pop against the black.  So pretty.  These tiny lotus earrings with ghunghroos are perfect to wear when you don't want to wear something huge on your ears.  I also got these two embroidered rings.  So gorgeous.  These are adjustable and light weight and so lovely.  I wore the bigg...

Hello!  Long time no blog.  Life has been a little busy, in the best way possible, and blogging has taken on a back seat.  I turned a year older last week and I got to my favourite thing- travel. A little road trip to Aurangabad. A city I had never been too before. It took us 8 hours in a car to get there. The drive was quite lovely. The roads good and there was music playing and my family around me and it was wonderful.  I love spending my birthday in a new place. Earlier, I have celebrated my birthdays in Ooty, Pondicherry, Goa and last year I went to Jaipur. I am always happy to celebrate my birthday exploring a new place.  Aurangabad has so much history and culture and going to the Ellora Caves had been on my travel wishlist for a while now. I am so glad I got to go there finally and see the beauty first hand. My sister was there on work and me and my family went along to keep her company and celebrate my birthday.  :)  I took a...
