London 2012 Events.
UPDATE: They were designed by Alan Clarke as proposed posters for the games.
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.

The Daily Eat: Georgia Shrimp ‘n’ Grits.
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.

a little me.
This made me smile. It brightened my day from halfway around the globe. Just knowing that there’s someone this nice and kind-hearted out there is refreshing.
Toni of modern day pioneers is on a mission to share a little piece of herself with whomever wants it. Visit her blog, click on her profile and email her your address. You’ll be added to her ongoing list of people in line to get a little something from her in Australia. Maybe some sweets, maybe a craft, maybe anything little at all. For nothing. Just because she’s that nice and her heart is that big.

The Daily Eat: Shrimp and Blueberry Salad.
Everyone likes to eat a little lighter in the summer (with the exception of holidays and BBQs of course!) and this Shrimp and Blueberry Salad fits the bill nicely. A little bit of sweetness, a little crunch and you’re all set.
