Wilhelm Staehle frightens small children. He also enjoys taxidermy and hand-cuts silhouettes. We’d like to meet him. We think. silhouettemasterpiecetheatre.c om
Oxfords not brogues. So. A gal turns to wiki to find out something seemingly simple like why an Oxford shoe is called an Oxford shoe, but now I’m more confused than ever. You can read all about...
I think you know by now that when we go all quiet on the tittle tattle front, it means that Mitchell & Dent are making things. Big things. And this one’s a doozy. So, you know Mitchell & Dent...
Mesdames Mitchell & Dent are very fond of a fiesta, a shindig, a soirée – even a sundowner. And whilst we disapprove of being invited by text, we don’t think every bash warrants bespoke let...
Sometimes people make things so frickin awesome you just want to spit. On them. And go back in time. And steal their idea. (And go mwah mwah mwah. And dream up dastardly deeds for further evil-doing....
What’s in a name? Well, you could ask Shakespeare what the blazes he was banging on about, or you could ask Emma Lamb. She makes the awesomest modern-vintage (work that one out) crocheted garla...
I’d like to live in Andrew B. Myer‘s world, just for one day. andrewbmyers.com
You might remember the great Custard Cream post fest of 2010 here on Tittle Tattle (here and here and here and here). Just guess how we feel about Nikki McWilliams then? nikkimcwilliams.blogspot.com
Polli are my go-to gang for lovely light pressies to send overseas, but this one probably wouldn’t make it into the post. polli.com.au
Go get your diaries out. Sharpen your pencil. Mark down Sunday September 25 between 2 and 4pm. You now have a previous engagement of the awesome-est kind. Art, ink, prints by lowbrow artists from nea...
One of us has just flown home from holidays. And try as she might to plough through a seemingly bottomless inbox of unread e-mails, it seems she is still away with the birds. Just like Handy Maiden. ...
We were asked this very important question by We Love Perth this week and if you’re wondering what we were going on about when we said there is an igloo in Kewdale, well here it is. See? How aw...
Yes, we are most definitely big fans of Bethamy Linton and her work. Mitchell & Dent spent a delightful day out at yesterday’s Wedding Upmarket right next door to Bethamy, chitchatting away...
These delightful little vessels are bud vases. They are made by Cynthia Vardhan. In fact, I’d be inclined to say they are so darn pretty they shouldn’t be sullied by that single-stemmed r...
No, not The Hills, the Perth hills. The shady-sweet eucalypt-smelling Perth hills. Not a boob job or a statement handbag in sight, but there is cute shoes in common between the two – in the work of h...
This is Maisie. She is a bicycle (well, duh). More than that, she is a bicycle made from bamboo. Yes. Bamboo. Not just for pandas. She was made by Mik in Melbourne who is exploring renewable, beautif...
There is no-one who loves paper more than we do here at Mitchell & Dent. Oh heck, yes there is. Have you seen the ridiculousness of Cuban-born USA-based Elsa Mora‘s work? We have long been ...
I can be really grumpy about the city. The roadworks make me grumpy. The fact that I need to take out a loan to pay for parking makes me grumpy. The black and grey-suited terrace people make me grump...
First Comes Love is done and dusted and we’re back to our everyday design lives, part of which means checking in on blogs we’ve neglected (it’s called research, honest). Two things ...
Perth is a tricky little town for designers. Sometimes the folks that dig things out of the ground do not dig design as much as we do. But we love it here. And we don’t want to leave. So where ...
This is a bow. Yes. It is made of wood. And it is made by Christine Buckton Tillman who also makes art and other lovely loveliness. However, if you are Stephen (and you know who you are), this is a b...
And if full bling is beyond your means, why not go clay? We’re loving Norwegian Bea Hustoft‘s witty work. beahustoft.etsy.com
Omigoodness. How wonderful is Rosie and her incredible site Sweetapolita?! For a gal who normally favours cheese over chocolate, I’m fast becoming a convert. Everything looks so incredibly deli...
And then comes marriage. In case you missed our none-too-subtle plugs in the last post, Mitchell & Dent are making First Comes Love – an alternative little bridal fair here in Perth. WeR...
So, there’s this BIG THING we’ve been working on. It is called First Comes Love (and then comes marriage) and it is an alternative bridal fair and we’re making it from scratch. It i...
I love the internet, but sometimes she is a cruel mistress. She lets us chat to friends and family worldwide, she lets us view art on walls tens of thousands of kilometres away, she tells us about th...
We’re a little late. OK, we’re a lot late. There is no time at all to pop in to the Mitchell & Dent studio or the little online shop and pick up one of these cards for your yummy mumm...
Fine are in Sweden and make some mighty fine things. I don’t know how, but don’t you think these fine cutting boards (above) and these fine blocky-stripey things (below) go together just ...
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...
Oh my. Here are Mitchell & Dent‘s brand new greeting cards, available right now in our little online shop. We think there is no better way to say hello than with a dapper monocle-wearing ti...
