Dumpling Dinesty
Created by illustrator, Fiona Hewitt, and expert in Asian Kitschology, Andy Tainton, the Dumpling Dynasty brand was inspired by years spent living in Shanghai, Beijing and Hong Kong, endlessly trawling the flea markets and junk shops for inspiration.
“Our products are a labour of love. Sought-out from lesser-known parts of China, we strive to personalize and re-create the sweet sentiment and attention to detail found in vintage Asian packaging design,” says Fiona Hewitt. “It is our hope that these products will make your life a little sweeter every time you use them.”

First Lady / Mars Venus article
The Obamas met with President Bush and First Lady Laura Bush last week at the White House. While the President and President-elect talked privately in the Oval Office, Laura gave Michelle a tour of the First Family’s living quarters and discussed family life and the help that is provided by the executive staff.
Let’s suspend reality for a moment – when and if a woman is elected President, do you suppose that her husband will receive the same instructions and introduction that Michelle Obama is receiving? Or would it be silly to imagine that a man would be given the details about the running of the house – whether it’s the White House or otherwise?
