(end of) season’s greetings…

I hope you had a great Christmas! We certainly did, with two fabulous family Christmas dinners and one indulgent London shopping trip!

Now, with our bellies full of turkey and chocolate (not a good combination), we’re (kind of) taking a break, putting our feet up, reflecting on the last year and looking forward to the next.

babyology

A second Australian revelation, as promised; we’ve appeared on the fabulous babyology!

Writer Alexis posted some very kind words about Olli & Lime, not least…

“If ever there was a complete one-stop-shop for children’s home furnishing staples and accessories, I seriously think this could be it!”

Following the post over a month ago, we’ve seen a big increase in [...]

This is post one-of-two, charting our Australian blog debut!

KidStyleFile has featured our carrie and billie bedding in their ‘sleep tight, sleep chic’ product round-up.

In their own words, “KidStyleFile is Australia’s first and only resource dedicated to bringing you the news on premium, designer and boutique baby and kids clothes, gear, decor, nursery items and toys…”

Although we [...]

(almost) lost in translation

I’m the main press contact for Olli & Lime and often receive requests from both online and print journalists, wanting images, product shots etc.

olli and lime on kidspod

Just a quick note to say we made it onto another retailer!

Kidspod is a UK-based site, founded by a group of parents who hoped to bring stylish yet functional children’s products into the home.

We’re just full of Christmas spirit at the moment! So much so, we’ve decided to help out Olli & Lime lovers with a ‘seconds sale’.

Items featured include toddler bedding, blankets and pillows, reduced by up to 70%! All products are slightly imperfect but still deserve a good home!

Go check them out on our dedicated web page [...]

christmas is coming…

…if you hadn’t noticed! So, I thought I’d share our first tree in the new place. It’s bigger than usual, warranting an emergency bauble-run! Balance has now been restored though, I hope you’ll agree!

We put it up this weekend and immediately felt more ‘Christmassy’. To celebrate, we’re giving all our newsletter subscribers a very special [...]
