Mitchell & Dent's Tittle Tattle

On the other side of the world to us, but clearly Madame Mitchell is not ready to let the warm weather go and face autumn. She has made these wonderful prints of her original ink and graphite artworks on tea-stained paper available through our little online shop Mitchell & Dent. Mind you, Madame Dent is just a little concerned about what kind of shampoo Madame Mitchell uses.

Mitchell & Dent love a good alphabet chart. In fact, in her Studio Bomba life, Madame Mitchell designed this one. So we definitely love this alphabirdie illustration by US illustrator Andrea Kalfas. It is twitterific.

These birdies are much sweeter than the ones sat outside my window at 5am. Bird in the Bush stackable ceramic cups not only save space, but look delightful perched on anyone’s kitchen bench.

Mittens. Ladybirds. Jam tarts. None of these things are quite so cute as London’s Me Me Me‘s ceramics.

Hmmm. I’m not sure, Brooklyn’s Charm School Design. I do still harbour fears of being swooped by magpies as a child. On the other hand, blackbirds. Beak to beak. On an Alice-style headband. If you can’t go all out for Valentine’s Day, when can you?

I couldn’t care two hoots about a partridge in a pear tree, but if my true love were to give me one of Finnish-English designer Sanna Annukka‘s wooden birds, I swear I would make him breakfast in bed every Saturday morning until next Christmas. Available mid January 2010 from her shiny new online shop.

I get swallows and sparrows mixed up. I’m never quite sure which is the little plumpy birdie and which is the sleek flying birdie with the split tail. Either way, you couldn’t be anything but pleased to see the two come together. This just in… Anna at Subiaco’s Mr Sparrow store (Shop 3, 223 Bagot Road) has these wooden veneer swallows from Frankfurt-based studio Taschide. Trust me, get in quick – they’ll be flying out the door (boom tish).

How clever is Kate? London’s Kate Wilson’s work is the most splendid kind of silly and Mitchell & Dent are big fans indeed. You can be too, by visiting Kate’s Little Doodles blog. You can also find the Whipped Cream and Cupcake Birds, along with the Guardians of the Macaroon, at her Etsy Shop.
