Mitchell & Dent's Tittle Tattle

I have English house guests which means I spent last week Down South. If you’ve not been before, it is a vey good place. Beaches, forests, wine, food, sun and of course, gnomes. Yes, gnomes. They hang out together near a roundabout on a quiet road in the Ferguson Valley. Hundreds of them. And I love every last little handpainted sign and cringe-worthy gnome-inflicted idiom (gnome sweet gnome, gnome away from gnome, gone gnoming, Harvey Gnoman). Oh, and this post is for the lovely Angie because I think she just might like it.

Channel your inner eighties child – think ra-ra skirts and rollerskates, blue light discos and mix tapes (on cassette of course), pastels and prettiness. This brand new Mitchell & Dent print by Mademoiselle Michelle might help too.

What is going on? I thought winter was planning on packing up and going home soon but instead, what we’re getting is lovely for ducks. We’d quite like it if the weather would kindly progress to something more along the lines of the bottom row of this brand new Whether the Weather print by Mademoiselle Michelle (now available online from Mitchell & Dent). Let the sun shine in.

Due to popular demand, Madame Mitchell created a set of perfectly pretty prints like the illustrations on our Mitchell & Dent website. Inspired by high tea and spring time, they would be a welcome addition to anyone’s mantle. Doesn’t your cat drink from vintage teacups too?

You can’t say Perth isn’t a creative little town. We’ve just heard tell that Otilee (who we blogged about earlier in the year) was also recognised in the International Photography Awards. She was awarded second place in the Advertising – Fashion Pro category for Altitude (above) and received an Honorable Mention in the Advertising – Beauty Pro category for Wire Me In (see it here on her blog). Too much talent in the one town, really. Congrats Otilee, you clever little chicken.

Ian and Erick Regnard from Tungsten are two of the loveliest Perth-based world-renowned French Mauritian photographer twins you’re ever likely to meet (and isn’t the world awash with Perth-based world-renowned French Mauritian photographer twins?!). We’re so thrilled to hear that they were recently named a finalist in the International Photography Awards 2010 International Photographer of the Year – that’s way more prestigious than a Gold Logie, don’t you know? Their image Waiting in Silence was selected from nearly 15,000 submissions from 103 countries to be in the running and they’re off to NYC in October to find out who the winner is. Read all about it on their blog. And go look at their work. It is breathtakingly good.

If you’ve found your ‘and’; as in his and hers, hugs and kisses, morning and night, sweetness and light. AND you’re getting ready for the biggest ‘and’ of all – Mr and Mrs – then look no further. The Ampersand wedding stationery suite (that’s just a fancy word for the ‘and’, don’t you know) by Mitchell & Dent is the perfect letterpressed equivalent of a grammatically-correct co-ordinating conjunction. AND, more importantly, it is darn purty.

Mitchell & Dent are old school. We’re real big on little things like confetti. Don’t you think it is a bit sad that wedding venues now value a clutter-free floor more than the joyful silliness of showering a bride and groom in papery specks of well-wishes? When we were little, the most exciting part of a wedding was the confetti (and the lace-laden dolls on the front of the bridal car, of course). Why not step back in time and celebrate (confetti allowed) by visiting our website, requesting a catalogue or ordering a sample pack?

Yes. You can get letterpress wedding invitations in Perth, thanks for asking. And Mitchell & Dent‘s lovely old 1905 Chandler and Price platen press, affectionately dubbed ‘Herbert’, especially likes to print the Cameo wedding stationery suite. He thinks the elegant typefaces, fancy flourishes and ornaments, and sweet little customisable cameos are most befitting the vintage printing technique of letterpress. If you do too, why not visit the website, request the catalogue or order a sample?
