It's time to dress up for the Season we love !

It's been a while, blog !

How have all of you been? We've had quite the summer - we took a couple of weeks off to travel to New York and ended up doing a show at Pottery Barn - yay Olie !

We also visited a whole lot of decor stores there and drowned in inspiration. If you ever go to NY, you must pop into West Elm and ABC homes, these were my all time favourites . ABC homes is just magical !

Now, we at the Olie studio are prepping for the season ahead- the best time of the year is about to come by - diwali, christmas, holidays, family, food and travel ! It almost never fails to be amazing, and if you're anything like me, you're plotting to change your decor around a bit and do everything that has been on your list of things to do for months now before all those guests come trooping home.

We've had some new product launched, some great bloggers saying lovely things about Olie and of course, some fabulous pictures to show for it !

Rukmini did a fabulous post over at one of our fave Indian decor blogs - www.trumatter.in

Throwback to Raintree

I believe the most fun I have ever had, was after I booked the beautiful Raintree for Olie's first day out. I have always dreamed of making it my own, for even a day - and it all came alive, with the help of my sweet family and friends who worked tirelessly and kept our spirits high !

It was a wonderful way to take the plunge, and one I could never forget ! Here are some pictures from the two days when Olie was unveiled for the very first time to a response that I could never have imagined possible.

We created little worlds, one for each collection and ended up doing a little 'tour' of sorts to tell all our tales to the walkers-in .

So many of our products evolved and grew from the feedback that our first customers gave us. We put Olie into it's first stores 6 months later, bigger and better than ever before and we still value every email, or comment that comes our way. Feel free to engage, review and join us in this journey, we will love having you with us.

Have a great weekend, and much love x

The Sea and I

Pondicherry is a little town in the south of india with cobbled streets and yellow french buildings, where time stands still and inspiration glows quietly in every corner.

Olie was a thought that was born whilst sitting by the sea with a pencil in my hand, in love with the beauty of the world. The simple lifestyle, the magic in the little things in the world around us, the art of dreaming - everything that you had time for in Pondicherry and that so many people living life in cities were too pre-occupied to notice, I wanted to bring that magic back into their everyday lives. Remind them of the whimsy that is all around them in every bug, tree, falling leaf , and the power of dreaming.
