Fredmund from Frankie

We love you Frankie. Not only are you our favourite national magazine who actually takes the time to pimp Perthonalities (like good friends Little Design Horse, Distracted Merchants of Fancy, Champ and Rosie, Last Chance Studio, Little Miso, Gene Eaton, Unwrapped and oh, too too blush-making, Mitchell & Dent), but you also made us these wallpapers. Smacks of effort.

Old school window dressing

Distracted-xmas

It is no secret that Mitchell & Dent love Leederville’s Distracted Merchants of Fancy. Or if it is, then it is a very poorly kept one. We especially love it when the blinds come down and the ‘No Peeking’ signs go up, because come Tuesday morning, there will be handcrafted whimsy in the windows to wonder at. There’s something magical about window displays – I know as I’m the result of a union between a window dresser (my gramma) and a ticket writer (my grandad) who fell in love at the Boans Department Store. Visit Distracted at 324 Oxford Street to see the brand new Christmas windows or their Facebook page to peruse windows past.

Blast from the past

Sasek

Ever seen something you had forgotten you ever knew about and it opens up some crazy trapdoor to the past? I recently spotted the re-issue of ‘This is London’ by Czech illustrator Miroslav Sasek in Distracted and was transported back in time. I loved this book. Almost as much as my little pink purse with the stuck-on white beads. And my Viewmaster reel of Yogi Bear. And my Spirograph set. And my Holly Hobby pillowcase… see what I mean?
