Mitchell & Dent's Tittle Tattle » Madame Mitchell

Hip hip hooray

Unlike Madame Dent, I will not be celebrating a very special birthday tomorrow. But I will, however, partake in a slice of cake (or two). I only wish I could invite Miss Martha Stewart over with one of her Peppermint Fantasy or Jelly Bean Jewel Box Cakes. While I know the recipes are provided and I could very well attempt to make one myself, there would be no chance of having enough candy left to decorate with. I hope the pictures are enough for you Madame Dent?

I see you

These exquisite illustrations are the work of Martine Johanna. With a solo exhibition coming up in Amsterdam (*sigh*) and works featured in a ridiculous amount of publications, this girl has talent in bucket loads. I am very curious to know which illustrations featured in Playboy.

While nothing much survives in my garden apart from weeds, I still want a set of these Vintage Silverware Herb Garden Markers from Monkeys Always Look. Mint.

Loose leaf

In primary school I always remember having to rule my own margins in my text books before writing. Even with a ruler I still managed to get the lines a little wonky, a little imperfect, just like these tees.

No sweets please

I wouldn’t dare set down my slice of cake on one of these lovely doilies (it wouldn’t last long enough to set down anyway). In limited editions of 25, these hand stitched pieces will sell like little hotcakes.

The Sylvanians

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.

The wooden spoon is traditionally presented to the person placed last in the mathematics degree exam at Cambridge University. I would be top runner for this award – especially if it was a Nic Webb wooden spoon.

I have no idea how John James Audubon managed to get his subject matter to stay still. Maybe his past profession as a taxidermist helped matters along. Prints of his beautiful paintings are available for purchase here.

A good egg

At school I always remember making chocolate shredded wheat nests for Easter, complete with those little pipe cleaner chickens. This student’s work is a little more polished. Nina Bruun is currently finishing her masters at the Danish School of Design. I bet she will get a gold star for this.

In a spin

These gorgeous wooden tea sets by Jin Kuramoto are crafted using traditional Japanese spin forming, you can see how they are made here. One instance where replacing the fine china can be forgiven.
