I have been coveting these cute frocks by Sohomode for the past six months. The only thing that has stopped me ordering a custom tea dress is the dilemma of deciding which fabric (visit the library, you’ll see what I mean). I also wondered how it might look on a gal like me, who has not only kept her girlish figure but added to it. Then the lovely Lilli from Frocks and Frou Frou, the best fashion blog for curvy gals, showed me. Sohomode, here I come.

If the stereotypes are to be believed, then Transylvania is all about vampires and being scared witless. Not decorative dolls and drawings of dancing dogs and delightful birds on unicycles. And given that Mitchell & Dent are not exactly your stereotypical Australians (bah beer and football!), we’re thrilled to discover Romanian artists Harem6 and must apologise for being presumptuous. Mind you, I did always like the Count.

Recently both Madame Mitchell and Madame Dent found out they are going to be aunties. This sparked a few childhood memories, including the wondrous world of Misseri Studio’s stop-motion animations. Our favourite is Quaq Quao because it is all made from paper and the theme song is so damn catchy. Ahh, memories.

Marisol Spoon are a mister and missus living in NYC. I’m surprised. With the fairytale sweetness of their wonderful work, I was certain they lived in a gingerbread cottage in the misty mountains, surrounded by frolicking foxes and cavorting kittens, dining on strawberries and drinking dandelion wine.

Milwaukee’s Erin Paisley is quite possibly the sweetest, most self-effacing illustrator I have ever come across. Describing her work, she says “I’m terrible at planning things out”, “when I sit down to draw, I have a big eraser by my side”, “I usually don’t know what my drawings will be” and “I pretty much just belly flop into everything I do and hope for the best (I was never very good at diving either…)”. And then she makes works like these!

Blog-watchers galore are going to looooove this. Starting tomorrow, Monday 24th May, 300 of the world’s most creative bloggers have been picked to Pin it Forward on Pinterest. It will be a pinteresting month, as each participant blogs about their ‘what home means to me’ pinboard, before introducing the next blogger to chitchat about theirs.

But what is all this Pinterest, pinboard and pinning stuff, I hear you ask? Well, the very clever folks at Cold Brew Labs have kindly made the world a giant pin-up board. It is a wonderful forum for creative people to curate collections and share the things they love, pinning images from and links to their favourite websites. You can find like-minded folks to ‘follow’ and be inspired daily by what they pin.

The lovely Victoria from sfgirlbybay is co-hosting the Pin it Forward event and will be sounding the starter’s pistol tomorrow. We’re so looking forward to seeing  inspirational boards from folks such as Oh Joy, Bloesem, Lama, Poppytalk, Yellowtrace – oh, and yours truly, Mitchell & Dent.
