The Beat That My Heart Skipped – A blog dedicated to daily design inspirations. By Rohini Wahi.

Anyone frequenting the East End of London will know the whimsical work of Comfort Station. The fantastically styled East London boutique primarily produces sumptuous ranges of Victorian inspired jewellery – scrolls cast in tarnished silvers with hidden meanings, necklaces and earrings dripping with rows of pearls and unusual charms in the form of tiny chandeliers or porcelain horse-heads!

Founded by talented London-born designer Amy Anderson – Comfort Station continues to flourish both in the design and fashion world. Having grown up around markets all her life, it seemed only natural for a London based artist to start selling her creations on a stall in Portobello Market. What initially started as a part-time side venture to fund her art practice, quickly grew into a full-time business and vendors were soon knocking at Amy’s door for orders. This year sees Comfort Station present the eighth themed jewellery collection.

I collect… large antique glass jars and antique cloches.

I cant live without… my iPod and my garden.

My guilty pleasure is… the X factor.

Our house is filled with… antique junk and plants.

I treasure my… time on my own to indulge.

Right now I can’t stop thinking about… the fact I’ve just lost my wallet and cancelled all my cards but need to go shopping for shoes…

Currently I am reading… ‘Gold’ by Dan Rhodes.

My favourite item of clothing is… my Cowboy boots which I bought in Nashville.

At the top of my furniture wish list is… an enormous French Dresser from Orson and Blake in Sydney which I will never be able to acquire for obvious reasons!

The last thing that really inspired me was… going to see Wildbirds & Peacedrums at the Union Chapel – the venue almost as much as the band.

My comfort food is… fried eggs on toast with Dijon Mustard.

On my desk are… pens, papers, Macbook and monitor, a few boxes of odd objects for inspiration including quite a few miniature toy animals.

This weekend I will… catch up with friends and escape London hopefully.

Tonight I must… help a friend move house and squeeze in a drink at the local.

I love what I do because… what I put in is what I get out – and it’s endlessly creative.
