The Whimsy Bookworm: A Book Blog from India

 Spent some time today setting up my journal for November.  Here's a little look:  I love the colours and tones of this set-up.  Nothing relaxes me like spending time with my journal. 📓💛📓

 Hello Loves!  For today's post I want to share my beautiful daily journal from January.  I went all out.  I bought this gorgeous TN from The Black Canvas last year and saved it for 2023 and in January I brought it out in January. I love it so much.  The insert is from a shop called Softly Vintage and has a mix of different kinds of papers, handmade and transparent and regular. The size is a little off. I thought it would fit a standard sized TN but it's slightly big and stuck out slightly but I made it work.  Let's take a little look shall we.  Here she is all her glory.  Love the grain on the leather and the feel of her.  The typewriter just has my whole heart.  A closer look.  Think.  Write. Create.  I also set up a little folder that I had lying around.  Put some stickers and covered it with some papers, all from The Planner Society.  January Journal.  This is a cover of the insert that I decorated....

Hello Loves!  Today I picked up my journal after a long, long time. I last journaled on the 12th of July and since then my hand has been in a world of pain and writing has been especially hard. So, I completely stopped journaling and planning and making any kind of notes or jotting down any kind of list. If you know me, you know how hard something like this would hit me.  Today I made baby steps back to my journal.  Here is what today looked like.  Oh I also set-up this leather compendium I have had for a while now. This one is from Postbox and I have set it up to use with my daily journal.  A look inside.  It's full of stickers, washi samples and a few diecuts.  A few pretty things.  A tin from Traveler's Company that came with the 10th Anniversary dori.  Love it.  We use it to store some special Washi Tapes.  A sun-kissed page in my journal.  I have been using the same journal since May. Mainly because I don't journal nearly...

 Hello Loves!  And Welcome to another edition of Stationery Sunday...on a Monday Morning!  :)  The start of the month means many things. One the ways in which I start a new month in my life is by setting by my planner pages and my journal pages.  I also set my Reading Journal. Decorate the pages. Make my TBR and set some reading goals.  These are my pages for April.  First up, are my April pages, Week 1...well the first few days of the month at the very least.  Full on summer vibes and joy. I am trying to be better about summer and not running from all things about this season.  So I've done a lot of flowers. Birds. Butterflies and general flora and fauna.  :)  Making things as happy as can be.  I used a lot of Washi Tape and some trusty girl stickers from Kimey's Korner. A desi girl because April is Bengali New Year, so my girl is all dressed up in new jama.  I love how this page looks.  I used to use a lot of Washi ...

 Hello Loves!  Happy Women's Day to You.  I hope you continue to shine and thrive and be the incredible woman you were meant to be.  I spent my Women's Day doing things that I love.  Reading an amazing book by a woman writer, whose work and stories I love so much.  Planning.  Journaling.  Making lists.  & Drinking cold coffee.  Living my life doing things that make me happy...what every woman really wants.  Here's a little glimpse of my day.  Reading in bed.  With a gorgeous bookmark for company.  :)  This one is from Karubasona.  My current read which I am loving so much.  I am a couple of stories in and I am really really enjoying it.  Books and Coffee.  :)  Cold coffee season is here and it's lovely.  Then it was planner time.  Kept my pages pretty basic and simple, added my little friend Pusheen to make my pages cute.  I am using my marigold hair clip from Deesa to ...

 Hey everyone! Wanted to quickly share some really cute stuff that we ordered from Peach by Vishnu .  We ordered a set of pocket notebooks, which are in the classic Field Notes size and a set of 3 sticky notepads from this store and are very happy with the quality of everything! Let's take a look into it, shall we?  The items came with a sweet note!  These are the 3 notebooks. One is lined and two are blank. Aren't they cute? Below is a closer look at each of the covers. Love the colours used on them!  These are the 3 sticky notes. The blank one feels like vellum paper and is transparent. Love all of them!  Love the cute stickers that were sent as a freebie. Thank you, Peach by Vishnu for these stickers!  Hope you have a good week ahead! 

 Hello Loves.  If you follow me on IG you know I have been having a little planner crisis in my head.  Basically I am so tempted to buy a Midori Planner even though I have Inkbucket planner. So I have been feeling crippled with indecision.  Yikes.  But I think I have made a decision to just suck it up and use my existing planner and make it as lovely and beautiful as I can.  So, let's focus on something good instead.  Here are some new additions to my life.  Some stationery bits and some general bits.  We recently got our 2022 calendar from Bhuli Art (will share how beautiful it is soon)  and also got this set of stunning postcards/ art prints.  I love their art style and how striking each print is.  Can't wait to put these up on my walls soon.  This is my third time buying a calendar from them and I am so happy to have their art and colour fill up a corner of my home in 2022.  My sister's minimal planner haul. ...
