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 Loves!  How has your long weekend been?  Mine was film filled. I watched a ton of stuff and will do another batch of TV and film recommendations soon!  Today to ease into the new week, I am sharing a belated haul of beautiful things from Taaga by Reema .  I got these beauties on my birthday and I took these pictures on my main camera, my Canon camera and I had forgotten all about them. Because sadly, in the last two years I have rarely picked up my camera! Sad!  But today I managed to finally transfer said images and here we are with a beautiful little haul.  I have bought from Taaga numerous times in the last year. I love the prints she stocks and I love the many, many things you can get from her shop.  I have bought everything from Backpacks. Tote Bags, Kindle and Book Sleeves and multiple pouches and even a pencil case. I have loved everything she's made for us and I highly recommend you go check her out and get something beautiful. Ther...

Hello Loves!  If you know me you know I love me a bag or two.  When I came across Taaga by Reema I swiftly fell in love with her bags and her quirky prints.  I also love that she has so many different styles of bags.  This bunch of bags is my second time getting something from her. I have since then bought a few more things from her and recommended her shop to several people and they've bought and loved her work too.  This batch has a backpack in this delightful mustard and fish print.  Two Kindle Sleeves.  &  A Sling Bag.  All things beautiful and all things I love.  I love this print so very much.  We already had a tote bag in the red variant but I wanted this mustard yellow beauty in my life.  The backpack is spacious, soft and a perfect companion to college/work or travel.  The colour and print are vibrant and I am so happy with it.  This is my Kindle Sleeve.  I got this grey number to keep my beloved Ki...

 Hello, hello, Welcome to another edition of Friday favourites!  Today I want to share some favourites from my sister's phone.  These little flowers just showed up one day in our bed of clovers! Not fully sure what these are, but look how cute!  This is what these flowers look like when they're fully bloomed!  This floral tote is from Choti Si Asha and it is such a lovely, roomy tote. The Kindle cover is from a store on Amazon called Jaipur Classic and is so nicely made.  Some new hibiscus buds have bloomed and we're so happy because this little plant was attacked by mealy bugs and barely survived! Nature's resilience is a thing of joy!  We'd ordered some junk journals and journaling papers from a store on Instagram called BRWN . The journals are very well made and the papers are quite diverse and a mix of vintage and other printed bits.  A beautiful floral bookmark from Painted Petunia. Isn't it lovely?  What are winter night...

  1. Pouch from Pitaara: I am currently using this as a my journal pouch.  It stores my traveller's notebook, a spare journal insert, stickers and my pens.  Roomy and so pretty, it's the perfect size.  2. Notebook from The Ink Bucket: My current journal insert. Floral and field notes sized, it is quite lovely.  3.  A Kindle Sleeve from Label Mira: Well, it was meant to be a Kindle Sleeve but it's a bit small, so now it holds some A6 notebooks and some sticker sheets. It's too pretty to not be used. I love the colours and the gorgeous embroidery.  4.  Book Marks from Karubasona: Tintin and Feluda. Both in Calcutta being fabulous.  These bookmarks are a thing of joy and I use them as decor in my Bombay flat.  5.  Stationery Filled corners of home and this customised pouch of mine.  6.  Hufflepuff House Colours!  Such a happy colour and for some reason the Hufflepuff editions are cheaper than the other houses. Go fig...
