I’ll get straight to it, the winner of our November 09 giveaway is…Jennifer (comment #70) who said “I’m all about George! In fact, my soon-to-be nursery will feature it…”
Yep, Jennifer is already a customer (not a pre-requisite of winning, incidentally) with a baby due any time now! We wish her well…both for the birth and for the nursery!
Thanks to everyone who took part. Do come back and try again next month

A nice surprise via email today – from Isabelle at Living Lounge – saying we’ve appeared in stylish Belgian kids magazine Kadee…and proving it with these images…
I have no idea what much of it says but I’m assuming it’s positive! Big thanks to Isabelle at Living Lounge (introduced back in September) for sorting this out

I recently introduced a new French retailer. France isn’t exactly an O&L hotspot but we’re growing our presence slowly, with four stockists in total…including this one…
French online store allo bambin will initially be stocking bedding and decor from our Billie range (as shown above), with hopefully more products to follow soon.
That’s it for now. More retail news on the way…

Any more Boston posts and I’ll need a new header. Don’t fret, nearly there.
Anyway, regulars will be familiar with our love of treading the ‘open house’ path. This time though, we loitered with a little more intent.
So, this final(ish) Boston-themed post (delayed by our most inconvenient and time-consuming trip back to the UK) gives a flavour of our open house experience.
And when I say ‘house’, I actually mean condo…we don’t have a spare $3,000,000! These are only exterior shots of some we visited but you should get the idea.
We saw some great places, all within an area we (stupidly) hadn’t considered before. It’s got a great feel and is a short ‘T’ ride to the centre…even walkable at a push.
We’re serious about relocating by the way. In fact, everyone who knows us is fed up with hearing about it (sorry if that’s you) and will be thinking ‘just shut up and go’.
If it were that easy we would, believe me. It’s a big move, with masses of influencing factors. I do feel we’ve taken a step closer though, so watch this space…

I’ve stopped posting every little thing that we’ve done in Boston, for fear of turning the blog into a holiday diary! Having said that, just a few quick snaps I must share…
Above is Back Bay viewed from Harvard Bridge. And here’s the Hancock (big building on the left) from the Prudential (big building on the right)…
Not the most impressive skyscraper city, but with a distinct beauty. Downtown itself offers a tapestry of architecture which just makes you (well me anyway) gawp…
Apologies if you’re not a fan of our holiday snaps; we’re returning to England in a few days so normal blog activity (including O&L news!) will soon resume

When I read those words, I can’t help humming the tune, Peter Griffin style. It is relevant though (not just an indulgence), I promise. First, a few more pics…
These all come from the Seapoint District; an area we fell in love with during our last visit to Boston, partly due to the incredible array of converted warehouses…
…and partly due to the obvious sea proximity. The area also houses the Institute of Contemporary Art, in one of Boston’s most striking, modern structures…
…plus the wonderful Boston Children’s Museum…
So, what’s with the bird reference? Well, we discovered a hidden gem during a scheduled pitstop; the very welcoming Flour Bakery and Cafe…
…and so did this little guy…
A Blue Jay unless I’m very much mistaken. Actually, he seemed like a regular; very at home in his surroundings. He even hopped onto our table at one point

Just a quick post following yesterday’s Halloween celebrations, which were a bit of an eye-opener for us Brits. We just don’t celebrate the occasion like they do in the US.
From doorways to shop windows, everywhere you look is a pumpkin or ghoulish display! The evening was enjoyed by kids and adults alike…really nice to see :-)
