I tweeted this last night but for all of you who don’t follow me on twitter; I give to you the most adorable to go tea cups ever! If I owned a tea room I would want my logo and cups to look exactly like this. So perfect. Great job done by UK designer Sarah Walsh.

I never really talk about wedding invites. The image above caught my eye. A lavender card engraved with scrolling diagonal red script. The marbled interior is really stunning. Kinda funky and different. Check out 49 more inspiring invitations over at marthstewart.com.

Michael Piazza & edible Boston

Posted on | April 20, 2009 | 4 Comments

spring edible boston 790016 Michael Piazza & edible Boston

One of my favorite local mags to read is edible Boston. The photography and layout are captivating and gorgeous.

Many of the photos in the seasonal based magazine are by Michael Piazza. Michael creates simple photographs that will make drool. Snapshots that somehow capture the taste and smell of his edible subjects. Above is the Spring 2009 cover designed by Michael. The second half of the image appears along side a story about “Shad in the Charles River”. Below are just a few of Michael’s photographs that have appeared in edible Boston.

Flower Semantics

flower semantics

I thought I had to rush to get out the door. Turns out I don’t. We thought greg had the day off. Turns out he doesn’t. So a few more blogs posts to satisfy other lonely workers sitting in their cubes today.

I stole this from Elisabeth at All Stripes. Seriously lady are you ever going to blog again? I miss you.

I’ve been thinking about these flowers for months. They appeared in The New York Times as part of an op-art piece for Valentine’s day. Totally cracks me up.
