OliveJuice & Company

Miss Grace

Here she is-- the latest in the OliveJuice family of frocks:

 

See what I was saying-- you just might have to keep this one for yourself. ;) There will be new subscription memberships available in the shop until November 7th (Assuming the kits don't all sell out first.) after which they will be made available as the one-time-purchase option. 

And just because I'm a proud Mommy and haven't shared pics of my babies in an awfully long time, here's a look back at our Halloween.

  As you can see, it was a bit scary at times. But nothing a little sugar couldn't fix.

a little glimpse

I really think you're going to like this one. It's perfect to wear while hostessing all those holiday parties, or to give as a gift. (Although, if it were me, I think I'd have to keep this one for myself! *wink*)

**IMPORTANT CLUB INFO:**

Typically, new subscriptions are available on the 1st day of the month. This time around, that falls on a Sunday-- which we honor as the Sabbath and a day of rest. If you don't mind, I'm switching it to Monday, November 2nd. Please email me with any questions.

A-mazing. I "Dye".

(Yes, that was a totally cheesy Rachel Zoe pun. Do y'all watch it?? Ba-nanas, huh?! ;)

Gads!! LOTS of orders coming in for Posh Squash kits. THANK YOU!!! I've changed things up just a bit and now offer kits to make 2, 3, or 4 pumpkins. So far it looks like the favorites are Raisin, Saffron, and Caramel. Mmmmmmm......

Ok, gotta get back to work-- I'm up to my eyeballs in dye and having so much fun. Every time my hands turn a different color I think, "Oh my gosh. I DYE!" *snicker*

Re-stocking the shelves

Just a quick update-- Posh Squash Kits, and the leftover Charlotte Apron Kits are available in the OJ&Co. Shop. Check it out if you're interested!

giveaway at Kenner Road

If you missed out on "Charlotte" and want a chance to win a kit, head on over to see my sweet friends at Kenner Road.  While you're there, take a look at the October sneak peek! (Kerry Lynn has fantastic taste and combines the ultimate paper project kits.  She's amazing-- and just about as kind as they come!) 

Oh, and for those who liked the Posh Squash, kits will be available in the shop very soon. ;)

Sights of autumn

Hello friends. And happy fall! We woke to snow this morning. SNOW! I couldn't believe it. We'd been savoring the last remaining days of warmth knowing it was to quickly end. But WHAMMY, it's definitely a shocker to the system to have things turn cold so fast. Time to put away the summer duds and break out the wool, corduroy, and....ahem, perfectly delightful hand-dyed velvet--

Anyone up for making some "Posh Squash" to celebrate?

psssst

Kit club info is up. Feel free to take a look around and familiarize yourself with the new process. The debut kit will be posted in the shop at 10 p.m. EST tonight, September 1st. I REALLY hope you like. Let me know if you have any questions at all.

polystyrene mishap

A trip to our beloved Sonic seemed like a perfectly swell end to the day's errands-- a treat for the road, if you will. One very large *gulp* Route 44 Diet Coke for Mommy and a Blue Coconut Cream Slush to reward my handsome 3-year-old for being such a good boy as we traipsed all over town.  Really, he was a trooper!  Until (insert doom music here) I glance back over my shoulder right as that angelic 3-year-old jams the straw through the bottom of the blasted styrofoam cup. Yes, neon blue,  STICKY, half-frozen beverage is pouring out of the perfect straw sized hole, all over my car.  Hey Sonic execs-- Do you have kids???  You must not. Because no drive-thru in their right mind would use such an easily permeated container to house drinks most likely consumed in the car.  Not to mention the devastation it caused when this cute little guy didn't get his well deserved treat.   -------------->

Now I'm not saying we're boycotting Sonic just yet. Oh no. We love the perfectly fried popcorn chicken and ooey-gooey grilled cheese + tomato sandwiches far too much for that. But I'll probably be forced (along with millions of other toddler toting Americans.) to start double-cupping. And, well, that's just not good for the environment. I'd hate to have THAT hanging over my head if I were you. Just sayin'.

p.s. OliveJuice & Company kit club info revealed September 1st. 

revealed

Dust off that sewing machine and warm up that iron! I'm pleased to announce the plans are full-steam ahead:

It's been nearly 2 years since this idea was first born. Lots of life events have eaten up my time--all really great things-- new houses, raising babies...you know, LIFE!-- but it's time to realize this dream.  Watch for more updates and sneak peeks in the very near future.

Ding, ding, ding

We have a winner! Chosen by random number generator,

This spring I am grateful for any sun spots we get. I love all the beautiful flowers blooming too.

Thanks to all who entered! Looks like there are lots of us love spring blossoms and sunshine.  Speaking of shine, my littlest one is sporting his very first "SHINER". (Cheesy segue, I know.) Poor bug bonked on the entertainment armoire last night. Wobbly and exceptionally short legs + shaky balance+ a busy Mommy making dinner = The perfect storm for a black eye. *sigh* Is it just me, or is it a miracle the 3rd one even survives?? Poor little honey...

Ok, email me, Jessica, and I'll get your apron packed right up and shipped off. :)
