Mitchell & Dent's Tittle Tattle

The mesdames and their Macs are pals, but it is good to get a pencil out whenever possible. Madame Dent’s pencil of choice is a wooden Supply Co. ‘Very Best’ mechanical pencil with a 0.5mm 2B lead. So is Madame Mitchell’s. Mademoiselle Michelle opts for a Staedtler 3B and Mister Clifford favours an all natural Derwent Drawing 2B (no varnish or paint so bits don’t flake off in his mouth). What about you?

We also like this selection of pencil-related apparel, including Ashi Dashi Pencil Knee Highs, Sara Carr Pencil Scarf and Jeffrey Campbell Pencil Me In Flats.

I bought a dress on my holiday and it is in a fabric called Holiday. That is it there in the middle. It has pictures on it of other people enjoying their holiday, with palm trees and sun umbrellas and little pink flowers (and I’m assuming passionfruit gelato with white nectarines and strawberries). The Holiday frock is from Lazybones, how appropriate. They make these dresses in sizes XS to XXL. Holiday, *sigh*. We are no longer on holiday. Just saying.

Aaah, Very Purple Person, I get it. These ridiculously adorable cotton dresses that you make have something very important in common. They’re all ideal for the silly season, when a seventeen rumball dessert course is nothing out of the ordinary. You let our ballooning bellies be beautifully disguised. How sweet of you.

Allira Tee is from Melbourne and makes me giggle. I like these brooches (of course, because I like all brooches), but she is also an expert in the art of tea towel snapping. Not many people can say that with any authority.

Ok. Yes. So. I’m a sad fan of Wesley Wales Anderson. I can just see myself on the deck of the Belafonte (even though I get seasick), off to kill the Jaguar shark (even though I quite like sharks), happily kitted out in my red beanie and Team Zissou kicks (even though I hardly ever wear sneakers). And so can 5,276 others. That’s how many people petitioned Adidas to make a real life Team Zissou shoe. And because Adidas can’t be assed, folks have just got on and done it themselves. And so can you, with these detailed instructions. Go Team Zissou!

On the subject of shoes and dancing, I am on the hunt for the perfect pair of pumps as I have two weddings to attend on the same day. Two of my favourite couples are tying the knot this Saturday, so said shoes will be required to take me from church, to the beach and onto the dance-floor. Here’s hoping they will be just as adorable as these Watching the Clock Heels from ModCloth.

I am sorely tempted to purchase a pair of these from Finnish folks Company. Missy Fliss Junior loves nothing better than to so see her Grandpa rock and roll at the local tavern on a Friday night and she bops around the dance floor with Mummy Miss Fliss. However, I do wonder if we can jive in them?

A little warning from a red-faced and flustered Madame Mitchell – think before you google. An image search for something as seemingly innocent as ‘cute fat birds‘ came up with some surprising results. Although she did fare a little better than our friend Jane from Little Design Horse and Future Shelter (who, by the way, is speaking at Semi-Permanent10 here in Perth on Friday – go, book, now) who googled ‘man giving away carrots‘. So, be careful of the cute, it may not be all it seems. Brisbanites-in-Brooklyn Sniffle Co clearly understand.
