Window Planting

There are so many hidden gems around central London. The art book shops and small galleries around Green Park are specially worth to look at if you're looking for inspiration. I love seeing the little plant box that are placed outside the window display. Stripes print by Sonia delaunay caught my eyes with its red and black combination. My highlights from this particular walk, was to see the beautiful gold lace brocade dress of Chanel and the beautiful oriental print fabrics that are used to fill up the space.

Another street that I found it most stimulating was Cecil Court, WC2N. Old prints that were produced since 300 years ago and limited edition quality antique books were sold side by side with very knowledgeable shop owner.

Cecil Court is a very quite street and very pleasant place to be at for those who can respect the fine leather bindings of second-hand book, and those who can admire the plates of great illustrators such as Arthur Rackham, Kate Greenway, and Beatrix potter.
