Shout out to the corgis

{pic from here}

I so enjoyed watching the Olympics Opening Ceremony. I was prepared for there to be lots of boring bits, but then I was utterly entertained by the whole spectacle. Of course I loved the Queens entrance, mostly for the inclusion of her two top corgis.

A Bit More Royally Good

I love these colourful plates, seen on Where the Lovely Things Are. As a response to all the Royal Wedding hullaballoo Orange: The Feed asked illustrator Owen Davey to create his own designs commemorating the little moments in our lives that would normally go uncelebrated.

Click here for much, much more platey amazingness.

And, while we're on the subject, this mug made me LOL :)

The Most Awesome

Have you seen Awesome People Hanging Out Togther? It's full of amazing pictures, but I think this is the best thing I've seen on there so far.

Woolly Wedding!

I must admit, I'm a tad excited about the upcoming Royal Wedding, and apparently the bride shall be wearing wool! Fiona Goble's book 'Knit Your Own Royal Wedding' features patterns for all the royals, corgis, the Archbishop of Canterbury and various guests. These look like a lot of fun. Sadly for me my level of knitting is still stuck at the easy peasy level of scarves only.

The Royal Family

I've been feeling quite 'royalist' lately. Did you know that the British Monarchy have joined flickr? I've been enjoying this 'Royal Engagements' set.

All these and more (including the slick new 'Wills & Kate' pic) can be found here.
