Meet the second model who’ll be appearing on our 2010 product homepage this spring! This follows me unveiling beautiful Danger as the face of Charlie last week.

Another familiar face, you may recognise Isaac from a while back. In fact, you don’t have to look far…that’s him top-right, urging you to click our “customer photos” link.

So Isaac will be the face of Billie for 2010! Huge thanks for the photo go to O&L friend – and fab photographer – Jay Lindsay AKA @cosmicgirlie / mocha beanie mummy :-)

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 four rotating images that’ll sit proudly on our new product homepage come the spring. I’ll be revealing the other images over the weeks that follow… :-)

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 drum…

These were all taken by photographer friend Natasha Brown – click for her website – when Jake was just four days old! This close-up of his little feet is particularly cute…

Jake is now almost six months old and Jenny also supplied a more recent photo (below). We just love his hat…and it matches our George bedding (almost) perfectly…

Jenny says “we looked for a LONG time for the perfect bedding before Jake was born …we were SO happy to have found the best looking baby/toddler bedding around!”

Thanks for the kind words Jenny, and for sharing these great photos. More please! :-)

olli and lime and epic…again

January 8, 2010 · 5 Comments

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 peaceful? Just the way I like them.

The reflection looks lovely too. Big thanks to Nikki for sending it in. Anyone with a photo to share – whether you’ve been featured before or not – please email me :-)

happy new year!

January 1, 2010 · Leave a Comment

Just a short post to usher-in the new year and wish you all a happy one. I can’t believe it’s the start of another year, let alone a new decade! Anyway…

Thanks to the wonders of technology, I’m probably in bed currently, after (what I hope was) an enjoyable New Year’s party, at our place with friends.

Hope you all had a fantastic break and are set for a big 2010! We can’t wait, and have made plans for a massive year, personally and business-wise! :-)

olli and lime and beckett…and carter

November 23, 2009 · 3 Comments

Time for another customer photo post. This one comes from Shannon Lanigan of Calgary, Canada, who sent these wonderful shots of her two boys in their playroom…

Beckett (21 months) and Carter (3) pictured alongside our lime alphabet wall mural.

Rather than permanently wall-mounting the mural, Shannon attached it to two mobile panels, adding flexibility. We hadn’t thought of doing this but it works amazingly well…

Shannon says ”the mural came about as we were repainting and needed to rethink the playroom for them. I wanted to modernize it a little and have a really fun, colorful and energetic space for the boys to play, create and dream in!”

Big thanks to Shannon for sharing these great shots. Anyone wishing to share their own O&L-themed images, please drop me an email :-)

Time for another post in our customer photo series. This submission comes from Jay, proud mother to a very happy 6-month-old boy called Isaac…

isaac

Isaac made quite an entrance, weighing an impressive 11lbs 0.5oz when he was born back in May! You can check out his newborn shoot over on Sprout Photography.

Quick starts run in the family, as Jay explains, “he’s such a happy guy, and has just figured out crawling – he takes after his brother [Noah] and is a very early mover!”

isaac-and-egg

“I’m desperately proud of my boys and I can babble for England!” (True to form!) she continues…”I’m rarely sold on cuddly fluffy things, so your designs are GREAT.”

While I remember, for some properly funny ‘babbling’, you MUST check out Jay’s fabulous blog: Mocha Beanie Mummy. Oh, and you can follow her @cosmicgirlie

mocha-beanie-mummy

A professional cellist (who says we’re not cultured?!), Jay is considering a move into photography. On the evidence of these shots, that could be a wise decision!

Jay found us on twitter through fellow O&L fans Alan and Sara. Regulars may remember them as parents to Milo, our first baby star and the face of Olli & Lime!

Thanks again to Jay for sharing her amazing pics and for saying such nice things about us! Anyone else who’d like to submit an image please drop me an email :-)

olli and lime and epic

Literally an epic customer photo post, with three pictures no less! Nikki, AKA Loving Danger is a recent Olli & Lime convert, with an even more recent addition…

epic

Beautiful ‘Epic’ is just three weeks old, and the second of Nikki and hubby Chris’s wonderfully-named litter, following the arrival of big sis’ ‘Danger’ in May of last year.

epic-close-up

Nikki says (tongue in cheek) ”with a name like Epic he is destined for greatness. I’m hoping that this greatness will pay for a really nice nursing home one day!”

epic-feet

She goes on… “He likes boobs and sleep and his big sister Danger. He digs being naked and the musical genius of Death Cab for Cutie!”

Nikki’s unique turn of phrase extends to her blog, Loving Danger, which charts the life of first Danger and now Epic in the most amusing and engaging way! :-)
