Mitchell & Dent's Tittle Tattle

Instead of making your mum the traditional eggs on toast this Mothers Day, why not try whipping up a batch of these yummy open egg pies. Perthonality (and part-time food blogger) Miss Kristy Leigh has kindly shared her scrum-diddly-umptious recipe with us and we’re eager to give it a go. The mesdames feel they would be best enjoyed in bed, accompanied by coffee and a novelette (one of those racy bodice-rippers, not that we’ve never read one of course).

Isn’t she? This is Ursa the Bear. I like bears, better than Goldilocks anyhow. I’ll never understand how that binge-eating, narcoleptic, petty thief got to be the heroine of the story. Designer David Weeks clearly prefers bears too.

I do love these images of children and animals by photographer Maxine Helfman. They are too too lovely and really quite creepy. Am I allowed to say that about a child? I’m not sure. I think I can say that about a goose though. I’ve never liked geese. They’re far too pecky and flappity.

Oh chenille, forgotten fabric of the past, hello again. What have you been doing since the 1970′s? No matter. It is nice to see your sometimes-tufty, sometimes-taut textile-y self back all over bedspreads, dressing gowns and pillows like this one from The Pink Palace. You put the fancy into frou frou.

New Yorker Jane Mount paints books. If you’re not well read, buy one of her artworks and you can look as if you are. Hey presto bibliophile.

Here at Mitchell & Dent we hold in high esteem the proper practices of societal intercourse. As such we are most pleased to see that bow-ties are well and truly back in style. They make even the scruffiest of sorts look dapper and, contrary to common belief, are a cinch to tie up.

I wouldn’t dare set down my slice of cake on one of these lovely doilies (it wouldn’t last long enough to set down anyway). In limited editions of 25, these hand stitched pieces will sell like little hotcakes.

We had a sneaking suspicion that the latest Frankie might have been out when we started getting a flood of orders for our Small Prints. Now that our suspicions have been officially confirmed, we’re watching our mailbox eagerly so we can take a peek. Flick your copy of issue 35 to the Frank Bits section to find a little snippet about yours truly.

Mademoiselle Michelle just mentioned the Sylvanians and I’ve had a total flashback to the 80′s. My sister and I had the Thistlethorn Family and the Timbertop Family, along with the house where the lights really worked. Apparently they are collectors items now, if only we had kept them.
