Mitchell & Dent's Tittle Tattle

Why do we love Perth? We were asked this very important question by We Love Perth this week and if you’re wondering what we were going on about when we said there is an igloo in Kewdale, well here it is. See? How awesome is that? (Thanks for the pics Google Maps.)

Poor Tittle Tattle, we’ve been so neglectful. But it is only because we’re super busy planning something super exciting. We’ll spill the beans real soon, promise. In the meantime, we’ve been thinking frocks. As stationers, Mitchell & Dent gets to work with lovely brides a lot and have heard how frustrating it can be to find these kinds of frocks in Perth (if you have, do please share!). Folks find them on Etsy, but would you be brave enough to order in a frock from overseas unseen? Well if you are, these ones look pretty…

We know a girl who just gave her notice in order to spend more time getting noticed for what she does best. You too can be noticed in notable vintage from The Vintage Valley. Congrats and good luck Ally.

I cannot drive down Stirling Highway in Mosman Park without wanting to glance at views like this. It is possible I’ve spent so long gawking that people have beeped at me. Hunters and Collectors is pure modernist eye-candy and is now available for gazing at in a safer way on Facebook. One day I might even be able to buy something. Into my arms, I wish.

English artist James Paterson makes me really really angry. He may well be a very lovely man, but he can paint like this and I can’t.

Now that the weather is warming up and we’re heading into prime Pimm’s season, it is time to get your swizzle sticks out. The mesdames are very excited to see a resurgence in midcentury Blendo glass. First made by the West Virginia Speciality Glass Company, it can now be nabbed for nearly nix. Not for long though, best get in while the going’s good.

Here’s some we found on Etsy…
1. punchbowl and glasses from Hydrangea Row
2. cocktail shaker from Vintage Home Recycled
3. highballs from Swanky Lady Vintage
4. bowl set from Plaid Pony Vintage
5. tumblers from Ione’s Attic
6. pitcher and glasses from Betty’s Kitschen
7. chip and dip set from Ugly Santa
8. highballs from Blue Bernice Vintage
9. salad bowl and cruets from Rust Belt Threads

Om nom nom, vegetables love your tummy and fruit is sweet on you, don’t you know?! Well, Mitchell & Dent think so anyhow. These brand new art prints are perfect for cute kitchens and kids who need to learn more about healthy foods. This is what happens when we watch too much Jamie Oliver. Oh – and do note the Ray Cook ramekins I bought during our delightful day out in Melbourne with Miss Gemma. Yummy.

Mesdames Mitchell and Dent would feel right at home here at the Parker Palm Springs. The hotel was once Gene Autry‘s ranch and the Merv Griffin Resort, but was given a Jonathan Adler retro stroke kitsch stroke glam make-over earlier this century. A little bit vintage 50s, a little bit 60s mod, a little bit shag-pile 70s – all faaaabulous. According to the New York Times it is frequented by gay Hollywood producers, straight Hollywood producers, celebrities and their entourages. I’m sure there could be room for two ladies who love Pimms. Anyone got a sugar daddy going spare?
