The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 Hello Loves!  Today's post is all things Journals, well, Art Journals, to be specific. I will soon do a post on my other journals..as in my journal journals, the ones I write in. But I thought I'd kick start with my art journals  I have 3 Art Journals that I used interchangeably this year and I really enjoyed being creative in them. I am no artist. Not by a long shot but I do enjoy dabbling into creative pursuits and painting and creating mixed media collages. It's a great way to unwind and be present and this year, it's been my cure for sad days and anxiety. I love spending my evenings surrounded by journaling and art supplies and keep my anxious mind distracted.  Here are my three art journals.  Big.  Small.  Tiny.  I love the variety in sizes here.  This beautiful handmade journal is from BRNW Co which was a happy discovery we made early in the year and since then we've bought a lot of stationery supplies from them.  This journal was...

 Hello Loves!  Long time no Stationery Sunday, so let's change that. Today I want to share some random but recent-ish stationery favourites of mine.  First up is this absolutely stunning stunning sketchbook from Paramita over at Akibuuki . This is our third or fourth sketchbook from her and we are big big fans.  The sketchbooks are so well-made.  The paper quality is perfect and water colours go on smoothly and the paper holds up really well.  I highly recommend.  Look how pretty this woman with a lal paar shaada saree is!?  We are so happy with how this turned out.  This is an older one we got back in June.  So lovely!  My sister is already using this and is very happy with it.  Go check her out and maybe get yourself something lovely.  Another new discovery and favourite is Dola Art Corner from whom I've bought some lovely bookmarks.  See the beauties below.  Love the bird one. The art is so lovely.  And t...

  Hello Loves!  Let's talk about some happy mail today and something beautiful and well-made.  A sketchbook made to perfection.  Lately, in the last one month or so, my sister has slowly gotten back into art and painting. It's something she has always done in bits and spurts but since it has been bringing her so much joy lately, she decided on getting a better notebook to draw in.  Et Voila, we found Akibuuki on IG and fell in love with her journals and sketchbooks.  My sister ordered this A5 sized one from her and has used it for the last few weeks and is very, very happy with it.  The packing is a thing of joy too.  I love how small businesses go so above and beyond when it comes to packaging.  A thing of beauty inside and out.  And this is the sketchbook in question.  The cover is jute embroidered with a little birdie and comes with a tie that ends in two little wooden birds. So, so cute!  The sunflower brooch is made by De...
