Mitchell & Dent's Tittle Tattle

Mesdames Mitchell & Dent are very fond of a fiesta, a shindig, a soirée – even a sundowner. And whilst we disapprove of being invited by text, we don’t think every bash warrants bespoke letterpress stationery. DIY can be most delightful, so here’s some we prepared earlier… lovely invitations in little packs of 8, envelopes all included. Perfect for children’s birthdays, high teas, dinner parties and baby showers. You can find them at the Studio Bomba Shop.

(And to the lovely gal who popped in to see us on Sunday and to who I promised a blog post, apologies for my tardiness!)

Oh my. Here are Mitchell & Dent‘s brand new greeting cards, available right now in our little online shop. We think there is no nicer way to say hello than with a dapper monocle-wearing tiger or the Tara Banks of the animal world in lion form (“You’re fierce”) or a chubby little balloon-wielding bear encouraging you to hug it out.

We recently hawked our Mitchell & Dent wares at the Kyilla Primary School Fête and omigoodness, were we flabbergasted by the fundraising efforts of the folks involved. It was incredible. The fête and coinciding Celebrity Book Auction (40-odd celebs including the likes of Dawn French, Julia Gillard and Tim Minchin donated books, no less) raised something like twenty thousand dollars. It sure did make the soggy sandwiches, toffee cups, chocolate wheels and kewpie dolls of our childhood fêtes pale in comparison. It was the fête equivalent of super-charged kewpies with extra added cuteness, a bit like the ones from The Little Dröm Store.

Julian Callos is an artist living in Los Angeles. This is what he gave his friends for Christmas (just a small selection). He made each one of his tribe a spirit animal that represents them. They are completely amazing and I bet they are now cherished and adored and talked about and handled with loving care by their new proud owners. Heh, art is a great thing, isn’t it?

As you know, we here at Mitchell & Dent like our cats. You can see them on our website and look left, they are are even in our crest. As much as we like our cats, we think that Pippy and Timmy‘s owner might like cats even more than we do. See what happens when you get an incredible photographer and two kitkats in the one space together. This is just a teeny sample.

Excuse the little lull in posts but yours truly has been at home with a monster sniffle, moaning about bad daytime telly and staring at the walls. If only I had more things to look at, like these brill bronzes by Walter Bosse and his missus Herta Baller. If you can’t find the midcentury originals, don’t fret. They are still being made in a sleepy snowy town on the Austrian-Hungarian border. Hurrah Modern Vienna Bronzes!

OK. I admit it. When I first saw the name ‘A. Speer Studio’, the thought did cross my mind that Adolf Hitler’s right-hand architect Albert Speer had somehow seen the error of his Nazi ways and switched to whimsical works of stoneware instead of stone monuments to the Third Reich. Then I realised he was dead. Sorry for the mix up Adrienne.
