Hankering for Objects from Times Gone By

Walking through Burlington Arcade in the heart of Mayfair is always such a thrill for me. This timeless destination is such an iconic runway and there is always something special to be found that surpasses trends and fads. The 1930's tea set below is just one example of a beautiful and timeless object that you can find here. Although it isn't a necessity in my life right now, i have found myself obsessing and trying to work out how i could possibly acquire it. Totally ridiculous!

I had this same obsessive feeling when i came across an amazing shop in Toulouse - Gallery 7, Rue Boulbonne in the summer which specialises in 20th century decoration and housed the best mid century lighting collection i have seen in a long time. Isabelle Klein the owner has a fantastic eye and you will certainly find something original and completely wonderful here.

And while i am in the mood for a spot of nostalgic living in a different era - i am going to get my fix with a silk Charleston dress from our own Travelling Bazaar A/W 13 edit. Although i really want the tea set!
