Mush brain

Madame Mitchell and Madame Dent cannot believe it is February already. They have big ideas for 2011, but best get a wriggle on if the year insists on slipping away like this. Madame Dent thinks it is rather tricky when all of her ideas still look very much like this incredible installation artwork by Nami Yamamoto. Mind you, Mr Messy does too and he’s done alright for himself.

Wanty want

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.

In a spin

These gorgeous wooden tea sets by Jin Kuramoto are crafted using traditional Japanese spin forming, you can see how they are made here. One instance where replacing the fine china can be forgiven.

Fruit notes

March 10, 2010 / By Mademoiselle Michelle / Make a comment

Sometimes our tastes here at M&D are as different as *apples* and *oranges*, however we are all *bananas* for these Kudamemo Fruit Memos from D-Bros in Japan. Even the most passive aggressive of notes would seem sweet if it was written on a slice of pear. Want one? You can buy them from Geek Stuff 4 U.
