On Monday, one of our long-term retail partners, Rosenberry Rooms, posted an interview with yours truly on their blog; ‘very Rosenberry’. Thought you might like to take a look.
I share how we started and what makes us different. I even reveal my favorite TV show and what we do at the weekends…though, if you’re a regular, you’ll know that already.
Thanks to Rosenberry Rooms for featuring us. Do check out the interview, and make time to visit their store, featuring most of our collection, plus plenty else you’ll like 
Our friends at BuyModernBaby recently posted a collection of best Easter basket bunnies, including the Jellycat bunny (number 4 below) that we sell alongside our Logan range.
This pink bunny is available from our shop for $24…and, if you’re considering choosing our Logan range for your nursery, look out for a special bunny-related offer tomorrow
Where did the first quarter of 2012 go?! Anyhow, what better way to kick-off April than with a – small but perfectly formed – mention in O&L favorite, Pregnancy & Newborn?
This is PN Mag’s “green issue” so, unsurprisingly, they’ve featured a ‘green’ O&L product; our George 123 wall art, printed on recycled paper. Look closely, bottom-right of the page.
Visit our shop to check out this wall art and the rest of our George range. Thanks to the lovely folks at PN Mag for their continued support of Olli & Lime. We really appreciate it
Barring an extended moon vacation, you’ll know about Pinterest, the lastest social media craze to go mainstream. The buzz is such that I had to climb on-board…pardon the pun.
So I did, which demands you first request an invite; no doubt designed to inject a measure of prestige and anticipation. Anyhow, with registration complete, I’m free to start ‘pinning’.
First though, a bit of browsing. There are boards on everything imaginable; great for choosing products to fit with your color theme, or pieces from a certain period or style.
Hmmm…I could lose a lot of time here. Desperately trying to focus, I ran a search for any O&L mentions. Happily, there are lots, as shown in the Pinterest search results below…
Fantastic that people are already ‘pinning’ O&L products. Now I need to figure out exactly how I’m going to use it, while navigating the vast sea of distraction that is Pinterest!
Update since posting: I’ve started by using our ‘get the look’ series as inspiration. You can now view boards for our Logan, George and Billie ranges via our Pinterest page
Some very welcome news popped into my inbox the other day. An O&L mobile was just chosen by, uber-cool kids site, Babble as one of their Best Baby Mobiles of 2012.
Our pink and gray Logan mobile, designed exclusively for us by Frazier & Wing, made the ‘Best for Girls’ category. Babble declares it “a pretty decor choice for your little lady”.
The Logan mobile is priced at $80, available from the Olli & Lime shop. Oh, and do visit Babble to read more, and see who else made the Best Baby Mobiles of 2012 list
A couple of days ago, top parents blog Cool Mom Picks reviewed our Logan range. And post-writer Melissa, more at home with gender-neutral, became our newest pink convert.
Big thanks to Melissa, and the rest of the guys at Cool Mom Picks, for the kind words. To check out the review on-site, click here or above. Happy Martin Luther King Jr Day!
I’ve mentioned that we’re addicted to HGTV before. So, imagine our delight when we recently tuned in to HGTV’s Property Brothers and witnessed an Olli & Lime cameo.
If you haven’t seen the show, brothers Drew and Jonathan Scott help couples buy ‘fixers’ and make them into dream homes. Aptly, this episode featured the home of our dreams.
We popped up when the pair shopped at Toronto store, Moms to be and More, scoping for cribs. For the record, the homeowners celebrated the birth of twin girls during filming.
As a bonus, Jonathan proclaims “this, I like” as the camera focuses on our George crib bedding. Not sure if it was a direct reference or all in the editing. Welcome, nonetheless.
You can view the full episode on the Property Brothers site. Our fleeting appearance comes with just over 12 minutes remaining. A big thank you to HGTV for featuring us
