The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 Hello Loves!  A Stationery Sunday for you today.  These are just some things and bits- Stationery and Planner and Journal related that I've been loving lately.  So in no particular order... 1. Typewriter TN from The Black Canvas: I've been low-key lusting after this Dori for ages now and last month I finally gave in and got it. I normally seem to prefer an A6 sized dori, it's just a size that works for me but...this beauty deserved a bigger canvas (hehe see what I did there!). So I got the full sized aka the traditional sized TN and she's gorgeous.  I plan on using her next year...for something.  A writer's journal..maybe. God knows I need to start writing again. 2022 was been a dismal year writing wise. And maybe having a gorgeous notebook specifically for writing and ideas might be a good thing be.  I will set her up in the New Year and show how it looks. As always everything from Black Canvas is so well-made and lovely.  I am excited.  ...

Hello!  Hope your Sunday has been a good one.  A Happy Father's Day to all the good Dads out in the world who love and support their kids.  For today's Stationery Sunday I am finally getting around to share my set-up for my April Bujo. I used a different sized traveller's notebook for April, an A7 and truth be told it was a little bit of a hit and miss. I think after months and months of using either A6 or Field Notes sizes I was a little uncomfortable using such a small size and had a hard time writing comfortably in it. I was so bummed out because I really, really like this fauxdori, it's so freaking cute and convenient to carry all of bits and bobs!  I will give it a try at a later date but for now I am very happy using my Field Notes sized traveller's notebooks.  Let's see what I used in April for my monthly planning!  Isn't she a beauty?!  All pink and floral gorgeousness.  Front page decor.  I als...

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!  I want to share the most adorable haul today.  BOOK SLEEVES!!!  I have wanted book sleeves for soooooooo long!  I saw so many online and even some from India but the designs never really called out to me. So when I saw that my favourite dori maker Lyra and Co, had the most amazing book sleeves, I actually squealed with delight.  :)  And got two sleeves. One for my sister and one for me.  :)  Yay!  Book sleeves apart from being utterly beautiful are also useful. They protect your books from the wear and tear in your handbag and even you are carrying two slim books, you can carry them safely in one nifty sleeve and keep your bag organised.  Let's jump into the beauties, shall we?  This gorgeous bird cover is for my sister, she is absolutely in love with birds.  The winter floral is just stunning.  The book sleeve fits a decent sized book. The book in the picture is nearly 400 ...

Hello!  I thought I'd share my November 2017 Bujo Set-Up before the year is up.  November being my sister's birthday month is one of my favourite months of the year. And with winter making it's presence felt and general mirth in the air, it is a month I tend to enjoy a lot.  My Bujo for November was very special too.  I once again used a Lyra & Co. Rifle Paper Co. fabric dori and even used a shiny metallic cover Field Notes.  Let's jump into some details.. Winter florals FTW!  A close up of the print.  A thing of beauty!  Front page love.  Dainty floral stickers and some other darling things.  Usual first few pages of wish lists and monthly to-dos.  The pens of the month.  A slim black gel pen from The Planner Society Kit Orange gel from Sarasa Zebra.  Inside decor elements. Diecuts and stickers.  A Rifle Paper Co. fabric wallet...

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 ...
