From the moment I first spotted the Christmas tree above, I have loved the work of Jane Schouten, a Dutch designer who has the sharpest eye ever for vintage trinkets and treasures. She creates artworks and items for the home by cutting, pasting, painting, drawing, sewing and re-purposing found objects and collectables. I pop in to see her blog All the Luck in the World whenever I have a spare moment, which can be terribly dangerous because I also end up scooting all over the www looking at the things she finds wonderful. And then today, she announced that she has a brand new Etsy shop. Oh dearie me, I’m doomed.

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.

Channel your inner eighties child – think ra-ra skirts and rollerskates, blue light discos and mix tapes (on cassette of course), pastels and prettiness. This brand new Mitchell & Dent print by Mademoiselle Michelle might help too.

What is going on? I thought winter was planning on packing up and going home soon but instead, what we’re getting is lovely for ducks. We’d quite like it if the weather would kindly progress to something more along the lines of the bottom row of this brand new Whether the Weather print by Mademoiselle Michelle (now available online from Mitchell & Dent). Let the sun shine in.

Due to popular demand, Madame Mitchell created a set of perfectly pretty prints like the illustrations on our Mitchell & Dent website. Inspired by high tea and spring time, they would be a welcome addition to anyone’s mantle. Doesn’t your cat drink from vintage teacups too?

I am a sad fan of Matte Stephens. The reason it has taken me so long to tell you what I love about him is because I’m a ditherer. I can barely choose from a menu without the fear of meal envy, so deciding which of his works to show is a near impossible task. By choosing one or two or three favourites means a few dozen more equally wonderful works are neglected. But then, in my quarantined snufflehead state last week I revisited my favourite film from childhood – Mon Oncle – and the decision was made. You’ll be delighted to know Matte Stephens artworks are available from Perth’s brand new Outré Gallery in William Street.

Harry Rogers illustrated these screen-printed posters for the Australian airline Qantas in the 1950′s and they are ridiculously wonderful. Even more wonderful is that they are now available again, this time as limited edition giclee prints. I want the Singapore tiger, no – the Australian kangaroo, noooo – the Canadian moose, noooooo – the Pacific Islands sea turtle.

We gave you a little hint earlier in the year, but now it is a dead set cert… Outré Gallery is opening its doors in Perth. This Friday. With an exhibition of Shag‘s ‘Inscrutable Mystery Guide’ works. Oh lordie, how will me and my ever-diminishing bank balance make it out alive? We’re doomed. Come view the carnage?

Oh lordy, where to start?! Be prepared for lots of tittle tattle about Melbourne in the days to come as Mitchell & Dent recently popped across the Nullarbor to say howdy-do at Magnolia Square and introduce our bits and bobs to folks in the East.

Where to start? How about the morning we arrived after a damn red eye flight (did I say damn already, damnedy damn)? We have AIX’s blood orange and burnt sugar crepes and Chris from Corky Saint Clair to thank for kick-starting our jaunt in the jolliest of ways. Chris is nice. He told us lots of ace places to visit and I bought the bestest Sarah McNeil brooch from his shop in the subway between Degraves and Flinders Station. Of course, we then checked in early and promptly fell asleep. So sad.
