For lovers of music on vinyl, clocks with hands and shoes with laces – meet the Retrovelo Classic Series. There may be a lack of baskets, streamers and spokey dokes, but I’m sure you’ll agree that folks with a fondness for days gone by won’t be able to resist these sweet rides. Available in Australia from Kronan Cycles.

More than rings on fingers and bells on toes, why not wear a whole circus? Thanks to Old Gold Boutique in Canada, you can.

Madame Mitchell is relishing in Perth’s prolonged cold spell. She enjoys a brisk walk on a dewy morning, happily cooks up hearty winter-warming soups and thoroughly enjoys an evening inside crocheting granny squares by the dozen.
Madame Dent is not so jolly. There are only so many days she can stop in bed with the cats and a hot toddy before being accused of being a lazybones.

Mitchell & Dent were faced with a dilemma recently. The lovely Luann, maker of the most divine arrangements, left our florist of choice and in her wake, so did our loyal patronage. We’ve been experimenting with new florists for a few months to no avail. Then we heard tell of Rebecca Grace and her studio Natural Art. So blooming lovely and with the most easy peasy of online ordering systems.

Mitchell & Dent are social media addicts (how can you tell?), so we all giggled out loud at I am Baker‘s Facebook and Twitter biscuits. Four people definitely like this.

Goodness gracious me. This multicoloured rug by Krita is made of dozens and dozens of little felted wool balls. Amazing, but it still looks like a giant freckle to me.

Ann-Marie moved to Pennsylvania where antique stores abound, so she decided to stop making skin tight garments covered in cheap lace and instead make beautiful wearable vintage-inspired dresses, shirts and skirts for going on adventures in. So glad she did.

Take a teeny little letter miss post m’am and put it your teeny little sack (apologies to Elvis – but really, what does he care?). Lea Redmond is Postmaster of the World’s Smallest Postal Service. She sets up her teeny little post office in cafes and shops in San Francisco, hand writes teeny little letters at her teeny little desk, seals them with teeny little wax seals, packages them in teeny little white post sacks with teeny little magnifying glasses. Online orders also welcomed.

For me, watermelons make me think of drunk boys at the cricket who wear them as hats. For ceramic artist Samantha Robinson, not so much.

It is very cold this morning and I cannot quite feel my toes. Forgive me for wishing I was enjoying some sunshine and warmth, swanning about Europe in a vintage caravan just like Constance.
