The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 Hello Loves!  Today I just want to love on my newest squish friend.  A lil Froggie from Strawbabie.  I mean look at her!  I am obsessed.  OBSESSED.  🐸🐸🐸🐸🐸 I have wanted her since I first saw her, back when she was first launched but I told myself I had to be a grown-up and not cave in and get every single cute plushie/crochet cutie I see!  I had to be mature.  This firm self-talk lasted for a few months and as December rolled around, my resolve to be a grown ass woman fell by the wayside and my urge to Treat Myself took center stage.  And here she is.  I love her so much!  Her face makes me smile every single time.  She brings me so much joy.  I love things like these.  Silly. Sweet. Handmade. Cute.  I am so glad I got her, she is worth every paisa.  :)  Go see if you want one for yourself.  

 Long time no post.  And long time no Bookmark Haul!  Who am I even?!  Hello Loves, I seem to have taken a hiatus of sorts this month.  This month has been very busy and blogging took a back seat. Luckily, reading didn't take a backseat. My monthly wrap-up will be up tomorrow. So look out for that.  For now, let's talk bookmarks.  You know things I love as much as books!  I love love love Bookmarks, handmade ones even more.  Sanchari over on Little Joys of Life makes some lovely art. This is my second time ordering something from her. Last time I got two painted postcard sized art prints of a very Bengali lady and gent.  This time I got myself two gorgeous bookmarks.  :)  Look how stunning.  First up, how freaking cute is the packaging?  Just seeing this in my mail made me so happy.  :)  So thoughtfully packed and she went ahead and sent me a ton of freebies.  :))))  All very gorgeous.  Some ...

Hello Loves! Time to share some adorable bookish goodies I've recently added to my life.  You know I love a good book sleeve...a little too much some might say. A few months ago, I came across Sangrah on IG and ordered some goodies from them. They recently had some amazing offers and some new prints (not on sale) and I treated myself to some book-sleeves.  Here are my newest, squishy sleeves in all their glory.  I have done a haul showing my loot from them last time, you can see that post here.   Prints, Prints, Prints.  All very bookish.  Here is the first one, slightly with a vintage vibe. I love the vintage-y stack of books and the bundle of letters.  This one is a perfect size for a Kindle or an iPad Mini or a small paperback. My sister is using it for her Kindle at the moment.  This one might just be my favourite.  I love everything about this print, the colour and the illustrations.  So so so cute.  I am already using this on...

 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!  A quick little post this morning.  I have been using this happy yellow journal as my daily journal since last month. I kept it simple and clean all of last month. But last night I decided to spruce it up using elements I got in my Floral Journaling Kit from Shop ABC . I used a few elements that were in the packaging and some from the kit itself.  :)  I love how lovely it's turned out.  Cute!  This took me less than five minutes and I love how it looks.  :)  This is the gorgeous kit.  I mean so freaking pretty.  The goodies inside are gorgeous too and will make my planning and journaling spreads so pretty. Will talk about it in more detail soon.  This was my journal before.  Happy yellow and pretty.  This journal is from Paper Clip. 

 Hello Loves!  Today's post is very Spring appropriate and it makes me so happy. I am a big fan of tote bags, cotton totes especially have my whole heart. I can't quite control myself when I see a pretty tote bag and this was my exact situation when I stumbled across the beautiful tote bags made by Stem Daisy Embroidery.   It was love at first sight.   We got two totes and I love them so much.  Look at them!  Cats & Flowers!  Cats!  Look at how freaking adorable these cats are?!  Cute as can be!  Hello cuties.  The cats and flowers are giving me life.  I can't wait to fill up this tote with my books and journal and camera and hit the world.  Go cafe hopping and live my best life.  The next tote might be absolute favourite.  Bloom!  I cannot even with how gorgeous this tote is.  Spring Summer vibes are strong in this one.  The embroidery is truly special.  Look how gorgeous.  REVI...

 Hello Loves!  Today's Friday Faves are new things from an old favourite of mine- Deesa .  I have bought a couple of brooches from her in the last few years and it's my go to place to find something cute and quirky and beautiful. Seriously go check out her shop and get something lovely to spruce up your daily looks and style.  This time around we got ourselves some hair-clips..only we don't exactly intend to use them as such. We plan on using these to hold down our journal pages while we journal. I am sure at some point I will put them in my hair and feel cute but mostly we use them as a stationery item.  Here are the beauties we got.  Oh first up a biggggg thank-you to Deepika for sending me a little belated birthday gift- this beautiful shiuli clip that I love so much. Shiulis are one of my favourite flowers and I am so happy to have one in this form in my life.  A marigold aka a humble but lovely genda phool .  I love how big and wholesome t...
