union jack on fire

i saw a beautiful version of this pillow at Hudson (in the south end) the other day..this one is by henry road and thought..well this might just be the ticket for bringing my whole living room space todgether. but then..dude! i started seeing that the jacks were absolutely everywhere.
which made me think..hmm..maybe it is time i tried my hand at this iconic pattern..i mean..
it would look unbelievable as a brick lamp in our collection..no?
i love how they are showing up in so many fun shades too.
but my fave has to be the dark blue with red.

must be my british ancestry wafting into the room!

great package design

there is nothing i heart more than great package design, and so i got beyond excited when i found this italian pasta in our local cheesery Formaggio in the south end. i mean just look at this gorgeous piece of graphic genius. and who doesn't die for red white and blue?? i think it has a strong david hicks vibe..just so inspired! though the price tag at 8 bucks gave me pause..the grocer promised me a great meal, and so i was persuaded to take the risk. (and really when you think about a pasta dinner sans carne, it actually is a bargain!) as it turned out, not only was this pasta very yummy..we made a very simple dish of garlic, olive oil, parmesan cheese and parsley, i have hung the pasta packaging up at our studio for inspiration. oh and by the way..ternetta is a pasta the thickness of which is between linguine and fettucine..who knew?
