Mitchell & Dent's Tittle Tattle

Sometimes people make things so frickin awesome you just want to spit. On them. And go back in time. And steal their idea. (And go mwah mwah mwah. And dream up dastardly deeds for further evil-doing. And have a really ace midcentury lair perched on the side of a gently smokin’ volcano.) Canadian illustrator Andrew Kolb made these tattoo-it-yourself cards. Bastard.

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.

My goodness, we have a lot to tittle tattle about. Mitchell & Dent have just returned from a little jetsetting jaunt over to the eastern side of the country, but before we launch into our musings about Melbourne, we want to show you something. In our absence, the too too clever Angela Higgins delivered her incredible images of the new Mitchell & Dent wedding stationery. We must also thank the lovely Fiona from Antiquitea for lending us a little of her vintage china for the shoot and you can’t top Leederville’s François for mouth-watering macaroons.

This is the letterpressed Woodland Crest suite. To take a peek visit the website, order a sample pack or request a catalogue of designs, options and pricing.

Madame Mitchell is made nervous by the roll of a dice. She finds that the type of parlour games where pennies change hands attract all manner of unseemly raconteurs and rapscallions. She prefers to play a nice game – perhaps canasta, gin rummy or even *ahem* old maid. Imagine how delighted she was to find needlework and backgammon combined in this set by Jonathan Adler?

Madame Dent‘s game of choice is Double Texas Hold’em. She knows when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em. She even knows when to walk away.

Kev lives in West Yorkshire and digs the earth. No, he’s not a farmer (boom tish) but he makes these most wonderful notecards under the moniker Dig the Earth. As green as they can be, with 100% recycled paper stocks and environmentally responsible printing techniques, even the clear bag they are packaged in is made from corn starch and is completely biodegradable and compostable. Dig it?

The internet is a curious place. Who knew that this little love card with rainbows and unicorns would tickle the world wide web so? Obviously  M&D designer Mademoiselle Michelle did. Mitchell & Dent sold dozens of these little heart you cards overnight, thanks to bloggity blogs and RSS feeds. Best be quick if you too, love your loved-one more than rainbows and unicorns.

Whilst Mitchell & Dent heartily recommend you purchase your most important paper procurements from cat people like themselves (because dog people just want to be loved, whereas cat people know how to serve), you may make an exception for lovely little dogs printed on paper. Especially for Monsieur Boudin, who can be found on greeting cards from England’s Lagom thanks to the ever delightful Lab Partners from San Francisco.

Whilst Mesdames Mitchell and Dent may favour vintage printing (circa 1905), thanks to their ever faithful Chandler & Price letterpress affectionately dubbed ‘Herbert’ , they are happy to have discovered the online sensation of the web log (all the hip young kids are doing it). Welcome to Mitchell & Dent’s tittle tattle and tales of terrificness, a blog about clever, crafty, designery folk and the things they make and do.

And who are Mesdames Mitchell and Dent, you might ask? They are purveyors of paper ephemera of note in Leederville, Western Australia. You may be interested to visit their little online shop at www.mitchellanddent.com.au.
