I saw these on ffffound, so there’s a very good chance they’re only someone’s vision of what the events posters should look like for the 2012 London Olympics. But man oh man, am I hoping that they’re the real deal! They would definitely help make up for the disgrace that is the logo.
I don’t think I’ve ever experienced grits prepared in the right way. Only in the dining hall in college which doesn’t count for much in the way of taste. But this Georgia Shrimp ‘n’ Grits? I think I may have just gained a few pounds from looking at it for so long! Sign me up.

Tord Boontje’s Charming is an iconic nature-based jewelry collection. The 18K gold pieces, playfully representing creatures and flowers, embrace the delicate nature of fine jewelry.
