The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 Hello Loves! Set up my April daily journal, picked a katha stitch notebook from my stash and it’s the perfect notebook to celebrate Bengali New Year 🌸 Here’s a look: 

 Hello Loves.  I've finally started decorating my planners and journals for 2025.  This morning I set up Blog Planner, which is a simple and classic Field's Notes notebook.  Here's a little look:  Planner Setting Up is my favourite thing in the world. ❤

 Hello Loves!  A new YouTube video is up on my Channel. All about some new stationery acquisitions. Go see. 

 Hello Loves 🎄 Today was cold, properly cold. By Mumbai standards it was nicely crisp and cold. My fan was off and I sat under a sheet and read my book and felt good about life.  Here's what today looked like:  Sunkissed notebook.  Tree looking fab.  Filmed a YouTube video. Should be up soon.  Read a little.  Avo toast.  A good day 🔮

  Hello May!  I am stepping into this month hoping things are good and calm and gentle.  My Goal for the month is to try and enjoy summer.  Read some good books.  Make a summer TBR.  Watch old films.  Eat mangoes.  Be Happy in my little world.  🥭🥭🥭🥭🥭

A Common Place Book is a place to collect random information, something new you’ve learnt or an interesting tidbit.  You can collect  quotes, facts and trivia. The scope is endless.  An entry about lab beagles.  How gorgeous are these endpapers!?  This is my sister’s Common Place book. Minimal decor for the front page.   The journal itself. A thing of beauty from Paperclip Store, utterly beautiful. 

 My February Journal.  That's the post.  I went alllllll out for my birthday month.  Gathered all of my favourite supplies and made a collage spread to make me happy.  I love how this turned out and everyday, when I reach for my journal it makes me soooo happy. I want to make every page as pretty as possible but also do my usual journal things, like rant and vent and cry and make a ton of lists.  Will share a look at the pages and set-up soon.  This is just the first two pages.  I am in love!  Maybe I should do this every month and feel just as blissed out ☺

Today has been a sleepy and cozy Sunday. Making the most of these gentle days before Spring arrives with its heat.  I read a little.  Wrote a little something. Slept.  Ate out.  Spoke to my Parents. Got some gossip.   A cute notebook from Diary of a Flower Girl.  She is so precious, I don't even want to use her.  Blurry.  Nothing like being lost in a good book.  My book cart. I am thinking of moving some books around and lining up my 24 Books for 2024 here.  That ways I stare at it the whole time and make sure I read them.  Gloriously sunshine-y days.  The view out my window today.  Books, Laptop and Writing on my Mind.  All good things. 

Hello Loves!  For Stationery Sunday this week, I want to round up some recent favourites.  So let’s jump in.  I have been loving my journal. Writing in it and creating some pretty, collage like spreads in it, it’s been a creative outlet of sorts and something I want to do more of in 2024.  The journal is from The Ink Bucket.  My Gratitude Journal is also working out pretty well for me. I had originally bought this Atelier Neorah weekly planner for my Blog planning, but I quickly realised that I wouldn’t need something so spacious for my blog related list making and brain storming.  So I decided to use it as my Gratitude Journal and it’s working out perfectly.  Ok, this box of stickers was bought solely for its pretty packaging and the whole vibe it was giving, the stickers are great too and I’ve already used them in some spreads.  I got this from Inkarto during their end of the year sale.   Might use this box to store some fabric jewelle...

  Hello Loves 🌝 Week One of the Year is already up. And by the grace of God, it’s been a good week.  Read a little. Set up most of my planners. Lined up other journals and planners. I did rush any of these steps and didn’t put any undue pressure on myself to have every single thing set up and ready to go. This year, I’ve decided to be chill about most things in my life.  Here was what my week in planners and journals looked like:  The Inkbucket moment. My planner and journal are both from Inkbucket and look so harmonious together.  Week I is all about those Resolutions.  First pages of my January Journal.  Week One in my Planner.  Daily Journal. Set. Ready. Write.  Really pleased with the organiser from The Ink Bucket that holds my things so snuggly.  The planner is also working out well.  I am excited to spend the rest of the year with it.
