Mitchell & Dent's Tittle Tattle

Super creative Pip Lincolne, blogger for Meet Me At Mike’s is such an M&D fave, all about ‘Good Stuff for Nice People’. How could we resist taking part in The Envelope Project? The Meet Me At Mike’s window in Melbourne will be transformed over the next fortnight by snail mail wonderfulness, sent from hither, thither and yon in decorated envelopes. Here is our little pre-decorated package before it hit the post. We can’t wait to see how it looks at the other end. We’ll be sure to post a link if we spot it (oh, and if you look carefully you might recognise some of the bits and bobs we sent).

I wouldn’t dare set down my slice of cake on one of these lovely doilies (it wouldn’t last long enough to set down anyway). In limited editions of 25, these hand stitched pieces will sell like little hotcakes.

If you, like me, have not only kept your girlish figure but added to it, you will be besotted by Melbourne’s Peta Pledger. She makes garments to gasp over and accessories to boot, in sizes 6 to 20 (oh yay). And if you ask very very nicely, she might even make you a custom dress.

I’ve just read a lovely interview with Tegan from Melbourne’s Ink & Spindle on Living Creatively. She says “We’re prepared for it to be fairly slow at the start. We’re young and we have stars in our eyes. We have got no mortgages and no kids, just one dog and one cat”.

I beg to disagree. How could things go slowly with design like this? M&D love the way these environmentally-conscious, super high quality, textile-printing gals think. Go see for yourself.

There is nothing more lovely than a dinner table adorned with fine china and now we can start displaying these delicate homewares on our walls too. Melbourne-based design house Lightly create new treasures from old crockery and vintage glassware. These butterflies are individually cut from upcycled saucers, making each piece different from the next. I know what I will be adding to my Christmas wish list.

Miss Toni from Leederville’s Rohan Jewellery just lent us Lula, Girl of my Dreams and we’re not sure we’re going to give her back. This UK magazine is so so dreamy and not just because it has lashings of M&D fave font Kursivschrift. You might find it difficult to find the latest issue right here right now, but if you ask nicely, I’m sure Mag Nation will send you the next one for a fee. Off you pop, then.
