Despite Boston’s impressive haul of historic architecture, dating back longer than you’d probably think, one of its most striking buildings is this Brutalist offering from the 1960s. Loved and loathed in far from equal measure, Boston City Hall just can’t be ignored. It displaced one of the city’s oldest neighbourhoods so wasn’t welcomed by most people. Now though, this [...] Further to my update a while ago, we’ve added a few more Canadian stores, who’ll all be stocking Olli & Lime. Thought I’d quickly update you on the new places to find our stuff… West Coast Kids/e-children, Vancouver, Edmonton and Calgary… Flo Urbain, Lemoyne, Quebec… The Baby Boutique, Kitchener, Ontario… And Cadeaux Kelly Green Gifts (Facebook link), Montreal… This is great [...] Just a quick post to say we’ve arrived in Boston, for the second half of our East Coast trip. We’re staying in our favourite neighbourhood, South End, in an apartment we’ve rented… The apartment is just about perfect. At ‘parlor level’ with jaw-dropping proportions, period features and tasteful, minimal decor. I think we’re gonna find it [...] Another customer photo. This one featuring a particularly happy looking seven-month-old boy named Peyton, pictured relaxing on our (now discontinued) Egg Pumpkin bedding… Mum Janelle kindly emailed from Minneapolis. This threw me, as I assumed that Peyton was named after a certain Colts quarterback. Apologies to non-American readers, who are probably thinking ‘what is he on about?!’ [...] If you follow our tweets, you may have noticed I mentioned we stayed at the Hudson Hotel. We couldn’t have picked much better, both for practicality and design indulgence. We like to walk pretty much everywhere, so location is extremely important. The Hudson is very central, near(ish) to the show we attended, and handy for everything [...] Everyone’s heard of Giggle, right? They’re a big deal, with more shops than you can shake a stick at. They’ve got three in Manhattan alone, including this one in SOHO… …and the one below on the upper-east. They’ve also got an upper-west shop so they have it covered. All well thought out, including their ethos; the ‘giggle criteria’. [...] No, not some tech-speak acronym to decipher. It stands for the New York International Gift Fair; the main reason we came to NYC this time. It’s held here. And it’s pretty big. It’s not focused purely on kids, clearly, but there was a big children’s brand presence, including many of our competitors plus some reps, distributors and obviously [...] A customer post now, featuring the rooms of two brothers called…you guessed it; Oliver and Max. Mother Debbie sent in lots of great photos a couple of weeks back and finally I’ve got around to posting them. First, gotta love this pic of the two boys… Debbie says, “We were looking to decorate both bedrooms but [...] What’s not to love about New York City? Such a great place to visit. Last time here was in December 2007, for our honeymoon no less. Looks and feels very different this time. We’re (just about) based on the upper-west side but we gravitate towards SOHO etc. And West Village. Now there’s somewhere we could live. Shame [...] |
