i LOVE anything that has to do with cakes.... CUPcakes, BIRTHDAY cakes, MINIcakes! they are so cute and sweet~ they need to be properly displayed for the world to see!


what better way to showcase these delicious cupcakes and cakes than with these one-of-a-kind vintage handmade cake stands by knack studios!

each one is better than the next... you will want to collect them all. it's the perfect gift for a house party or for anyone who loves to have fun in the kitchen.



come by our east village store and pick up your very own knack cake stand!

XOXO

there is a widespread misconception that going green requires more time and money. while buying green may come at a higher initial cost, green investments are easily regained over time. sustainable living is a state of mind. here are some simple ways to be green @ Pink Olive...

* wrap a gift - reusable fabric gift wrap
* morning coffee - reusable handmade coffee sleeve
* make a list - sustainably harvested birch jotter pad
* be organized - handmade pouch to keep your treasures
* decorate - handmade cushion
* do it yourself - projects with re-purposed & organic materials

there is something very rewarding about discovering a hidden gem full of unique finds. at Pink Olive, we love to mix old with new and new with old in finding the perfect gift!

vintage pieces are not only beautiful ~ they also have a special quality about them that makes you feel so special and full of life. i personally love this adorable vintage muted pink jewelry box with its soft green lining. carefully tucked away in our east village store, i can dream up the woman (think age of innocence) who had it on her vanity table filled with all of her gorgeous jewelry pieces. now you can create a story of your own by filling this treasure box with some of our fun vintage jewelry ~ like the owl necklace from the 1970s, pink rhinestone key brooch, or gemstone rings!

happy "vintage" shopping!
