breathe unforgettable..... and get 20% off Lollia!


The delightfully luxurious line of Lollia brings the highest quality and a distinctive design with attention to the smallest, charming detail. The packaging has a lovely, romantic European flair; it's as gorgeous as the Palace of Versailles with its cut glass crystals adorning the luminaries and bubble baths, beautiful graphics, and pretty bottles.


The botanically lush scents are a burst of freshness. In the scent "believe", floral infusions of mimosa, vanilla, orchid and sheer jasmine, hints of creamy rose petals, and geranium flirt with the nose. The scent "Inspire" smells of delicate rose water, red apple, and bergamot, dewy plum and a whisper of jasmine. "Imagine" is a floral fragrance impression of the most beautiful day imaginable. Flowering willow, and lotus float in and then flutter away, replaced by a trace of orchid on their wings.


The "Wish" bubble bath soothes a tired mind with a burst of Italian bergamot, cinnamon and pepper, rice flower and ylang ylang. And the bottle is so beautiful; you'll want to keep it when it's empty. Bees made of real gold leafing with blue accents buzz around and round the glass decanter.


The Lollia lotions are rich in Shea butter, macadamia and brazil nut oils, that immediately nourish dry hands. These lotions will instantly become your everyday favorite. "Breathe" lotion is a refreshing scent of peony, white lily, lavender and violet. It is packaged in a decorative tube with a sophisticated pattern of vintage cabbage rose and modern floating peonies.


No matter which one you choose, Lollia makes the perfect gift for the bride-to-be, a special house guest, a birthday gift, or for the busy mommy who would enjoy a moment of relaxing.


Enjoy 20% off the entire line of Lollia until September 7th, 2009. Just use the code: lovelollia.

life is so much butter with you...


whoever said that you couldn't find a way to a woman's heart thru her stomach was clearly mistaken. ever since i got a sweet cupcake from my partner, i felt it in my stomach... literally! when i gave him this card, i knew "life was so much butter with him."

now having watched "julie & julia" together, the secret to any relationship is to "just add more butter!" what a special treat to get this book from him to share our love for food and cooking. now, you can get your own copy at pink olive!


happy "butter" shopping!

the perfect gift ~ blabla blabla


it's hard not to feel inspired by blabla dolls. with a wide variety of imaginative characters and the use of bright colors and vibrant patterns, each happy design is fun and out of the ordinary, making them cherished by children and adults alike.

every one of these hand knitted creations are little works of art. the playful characters exude a distinctly unique personality full of wonder and gentleness and are given thoughtful names to match this. a few of the newest lovable designs include: mcnuttie the squirrel, antoinette the queen, giselle the ballerina, and don't forget about to take a glimpse at our GIANT 3 foot blabla dolls.

at Pink Olive, we love old fashioned charm of hand knitting mixed with fresh, contemporary designs. blabla reminds me of a modern version of the dolls my grandma use to lovingly make. it's this handmade quality married with pure creativity that make blabla dolls feel so special to give or receive as a gift. it's the perfect gift...




happy "blabla" shopping!

the perfect gift... the perfect gift


in search for the perfect gift this week, i thougt it would make perfect sense to share with you "the perfect gift" by jamaican artist rohan henry. his book represents a simple and touching story of love and friendship. leo and lisa are longtime best friends, and Leo wants to give her that one special gift to show her how he feels. the first leaf of autumn, the most delicate snowflake ever, an exquisite spring butterfly—but none of them endures. so Leo sets off in search of the perfect gift.

with charming black-and-white illustrations accented with a second color, the book conveys its message with simplicity and grace. rohan has created a timeless parable of friendship that will enchant children and adults alike—and delight anyone who receives this perfect gift. we hope you will enjoy it and can certaintly pick up your copy of "the perfect gift" at Pink Olive.

happy shopping!

to see some of kristiana's other paintings, you can go here.

happy friday!
