Mitchell & Dent's Tittle Tattle

Poor Tittle Tattle, we’ve been so neglectful. But it is only because we’re super busy planning something super exciting. We’ll spill the beans real soon, promise. In the meantime, we’ve been thinking frocks. As stationers, Mitchell & Dent gets to work with lovely brides a lot and have heard how frustrating it can be to find these kinds of frocks in Perth (if you have, do please share!). Folks find them on Etsy, but would you be brave enough to order in a frock from overseas unseen? Well if you are, these ones look pretty…

Madame Mitchell is attending classes in ceramics. I can just picture her in an art smock with a scarf knotted on the top of her head. So elegant is she, she probably doesn’t even get clay under her fingernails. Madame Dent is much more mucky. She’d probably just go out and find a little something like this porcelain Annette Bugansky cup and make believe she made it herself.

This reminds me of my sister. She loves bunnies (which I have spoken about before here) and just this week she picked herself up a little bundle from the cabbage patch. If only those crazy tales about where babies come from were true, heh Jen? Might have been a tad easier. Still. My brand new nephew Austin might like this bone china bunny lamp from Sydney’s Have You Met Miss Jones? I don’t think it comes with cabbages though.

Trine Thorsen is a photographer and lives in Norway. I stumbled across her website when I was looking for chairs online. Let me tell you, it is a silly and disheartening place to look for chairs when you live in Perth and have elderly house guests arriving and need four nice new dining chairs stat. I’m not sure I can achieve what Trine does in these images by dinner time this evening. Still.

So, clogs are going to be big in the southern hemisphere this spring. How do I know? Because when I was home sick last week I watched daytime telly (inbetween whining and moaning and feeling terribly terribly terribly bored – not good at being sick, me). And Nicky Hilton, the font of all fashion knowledge (tee hee), said Chanel did a high-heeled clog and they were, like, the coolest thing evah. She may have meant something like this, but in my snot-laden head I imagined them to be more like these Swedish Hasbeens. Clearly, I’m so 2009.

Everyone wants to take Madame Mitchell’s photograph now that she is a famous Perthonality. She is finding it terribly trying, especially as cameras today are not nearly as lovely as those from days of yore. I’m guessing that’s what Yellow Owl Workshop thinks too.

Madame Dent, on the other hand, is ready for her close-up Mr DeMille.

Madame Mitchell is made nervous by the roll of a dice. She finds that the type of parlour games where pennies change hands attract all manner of unseemly raconteurs and rapscallions. She prefers to play a nice game – perhaps canasta, gin rummy or even *ahem* old maid. Imagine how delighted she was to find needlework and backgammon combined in this set by Jonathan Adler?

Madame Dent‘s game of choice is Double Texas Hold’em. She knows when to hold ‘em and when to fold ‘em. She even knows when to walk away.

So. Here at M&D we are completely addicted to Pinterest (more about that in the days to come), but this is how the wonderful web works… the very clever Dana Hughes, interior designer in Sydney and creator of the inspirational design blog Yellow Trace (go! see!), posted these amazing hand blown glass bottles by New York designer Elizabeth Lyons on Pinterest and we fell in love with them and posted them for you to see. We love the internets.
