olli and lime and…2010

Last December, I took great pleasure in recounting all our customer posts from 2009. This year we’ve posted even more, thanks to the cool pics everyone sent in. Thanks guys!

We kicked off in January with this pic of camera-shy Epic, son of O&L friend Nikki…

Next up were some stunning shots of Texas native Jake, courtesy of his [...]

all white now

When we imagined Boston at Christmas, we pictured a romantic snow-covered scene. It didn’t actually snow on Christmas Day, but we now have the snow wished for. Big time.

I mean, a serious amount of snow. But they’re used to it here. So everything gets back to normal very quickly. I’ve seen more snow ploughs here [...]

boston christmas

I haven’t flooded the blog with posts over Christmas. I know you’re all busy with family stuff and it’s the only real break we get. But I couldn’t resist sharing some festive snaps.

It feels so ‘Christmassy’ here. Seemingly, all the trees are meticulously light-adorned, including these, flanking the central walkway in Boston’s picturesque Public Garden.

Okay, not [...]

christmas miracle

Okay, miracle may be a little strong, but as we sit in the BA lounge at Terminal 5, it looks like we’re going to make our flight to Boston, and better still, arrive in time for Christmas.

This really wasn’t on the cards yesterday. Masses of flights were cancelled, including one either side of ours, so [...]

christmas wishes

The Olli & Lime Christmas elves have distributed all our parcels to arrive in time for the day. Now, all that remains is to wish our customers and friends a very merry Christmas!

The O&L warehouse is now closed until the 6th of January, when we’ll tackle any orders received during the holidays. So, please be [...]

rooftop blanket

We awoke this morning to a fresh covering of snow! So, I just thought I’d share the view from a top floor window at he back of our place, looking across the chimneyed rooftops…

As our Boston Christmas trip approaches, I’m not only concerned that we may miss a white Christmas in our home town, but [...]

olli and lime and ethan

This post comes courtesy of buymodernbaby.com, who just ran this very cool nursery tour, featuring products from various sources, including our own George design bedding.

The nursery belongs to Ethan, whose mum Molly clearly has an eye for design (but hey, we would say that!), choosing a lime green theme, with neutral complementary colours.

We’re thrilled that [...]

snow joke

We’re going to Boston for Christmas and New Year. Fun, with some business thrown in, as we plan to set up an office and warehousing there in early 2011. Very exciting times.

I took this shot back in March 2007, when we first visited. The only time in seven trips we’ve seen snow there. All about [...]

red carpet gone

I’ve categorised this under ‘design’ but more appropriate would be ‘phew!’, as we’ve finally carpeted our stairs. Nothing spectacular but better than the red stuff we inherited.

We’ve also laid wood flooring in the hallway. This pretty standard oak wouldn’t usually be our number one choice…but it matches the rest of the place, so we’re happy enough.

So, [...]
