Mitchell & Dent's Tittle Tattle

My other half is 100% Italian. He likes his pasta al dente, talks with his hands, knows his ristretto from his espresso and goes weak at the knees for Fiats. It must be rubbing off as I felt a little flutter when he introduced me to this 1959 Fiat Jolly. Originally designed for the wealthy to ride on their yachts, this ridiculously cute convertible comes complete with wicker seats and a fringed awning to shield it’s passengers from the Mediterranean sun. Ahh, la dolce vita.

Mademoiselle Michelle just mentioned the Sylvanians and I’ve had a total flashback to the 80′s. My sister and I had the Thistlethorn Family and the Timbertop Family, along with the house where the lights really worked. Apparently they are collectors items now, if only we had kept them.

While we’re stuck on cute here at Mitchell & Dent, can we get any cuter than these animal pillows from Pennsylvania’s Vintage Jane? Almost more exciting than the illustration is the chenille backing. Chenille, oh forgotten fabric from days of yore, how we missed you. Did you know ‘chenille’ is ‘caterpillar’ in French? Would we lie to you?
