charlie and danger

By now you probably know that we’re planning some changes to our product website. Plus, we’re about to launch our new range, Charlie. Well this post combines the two.

This adorable little girl is Danger, daughter of Loving Danger author (and O&L friend and fan) Nikki. And in the background, our soon-to-be-launched Charlie design.

This is one of [...]

our family has grown

Regulars will know we’re preparing to launch a new design, Charlie. Plus, we’re introducing new products and making some improvements to our website.

As part of the process we’ll also be shooting new photography across all our ranges. We’ve employed cuddly toys in the past, and today we recruited a couple more…

Flanking our regular monkey and [...]

olli and lime and jake

A lovely surprise arrived in my inbox this week; O&L fan Jenny Buchanan emailed some gorgeous photos of her little boy, Jake after seeing our recent Epic photo post…

Jenny lives in Dallas, Texas with husband Scott, who plays drums at their church. Reason I’m mentioning this? Well, it (kind of) explains the presence of this [...]

happy 2nd birthday blog!

As is customary, I’m announcing the blog’s (2nd) birthday! Another year older…and wiser. The blog itself has seen significant development during the last 12 months…

We’ve made plenty of design tweaks including new banners and sidebars. We’ve added a media area and created a whole new topic structure with clickable headers.

I’ve tried to keep content varied and fresh, [...]

babybot canada

New Canadian retailer babybot agreed to stock us a while back. Happily their site is now live…and we think the result is just fantastic…

We’re big fans of the clean, crisp, modern design. I urge you to click through, if only to take a look at the wonderful opening animation.

With an ethos not dissimilar to our [...]

the new ‘it’ colour

Last week, PANTONE 15-5519 Turquoise was declared ‘color of the year for 2010′. This completely passed me by, until I spotted this post on Stroller Traffic…

They’d asked hostess with the mostess founder Jennifer Sbranti to “reveal some of the coolest turquoise things she’s discovered for babies” and we made the list…

Huge thanks go to Jennifer for picking [...]

charlie wallpaper?

Why the question mark? Well, because we haven’t decided whether to produce it yet. We are playing around with the product range for Charlie, and this one is optional…

We’ve also designed a Charlie number print (as per our George and Billie ones). Same size but portrait this time, for a bit [...]

olli and lime and epic…again

This is the second time that Epic – son of blog regular Nikki – has appeared here, following his gorgeous newborn debut back in October. Just a brief visit this time…

Okay, so this just the back of his head but Nikki (AKA Loving Danger) assures me it is indeed her little guy. Doesn’t he look sweet and [...]

mug shot

As I’m still house-bound (due to snow) it seemed like a good idea to line up these Pantone mugs, in colour order, and take this (rather unspectacular) picture of them…

click to enlarge…if you feel so inclined

Karen loves these mugs, and generally gets one or two for birthdays and Christmas. She’s up to twelve now, [...]

happy birthday martha!

A while back, I introduced you to my niece Martha, then showed you how well she complemented our George bedding/wallpaper(!) as part of our customer photo series.

Well, after experiencing her very first Christmas (although probably more exciting for the adults), today is Martha’s first birthday! Add to that, her first sight of snow…

So, here’s wishing [...]
