Normally I title these customer posts after the nursery-dweller. This one’s different, as mum-to-be Codie, from Edmonton, is awaiting the birth of her son, due any day now. Anyway, nursery-wise at least, Codie’s all set; as these amazing pics she emailed show. She chose our George design, and included bedding, pillows, wallpaper, and wall-art. Codie says, “I [...] Having finally got round to distributing some friend gifts from our last trip, we got a pleasant surprise. Lurking at the bottom of the bag, some rather fabulous coasters… As you can see, we picked these up at the MoMA in NYC. Fitting we just found them, as I was reminded of our Eames ‘fetish’ earlier [...] Not much to say, except check out our US or UK shop on Monday. And before anyone (including my mother) tells me I’ve spelt ‘labor’ wrong, it’s not our day, it’s theirs 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 [...] 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 on 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. We [...] 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 [...] Finally I get round to drawing a line under our Pacific Northwest holiday business trip! Sorry for the delay. Blame the jet-lag and the insanely busy week we’ve just had. Anyway, for my last travel-related post (for this trip at least), I’d just like to catch you up on some other highlights from our stay in stunning Seattle, [...] |
