Day three of my favorite things! Yay! Some favorite things start out small, and they grow into some really big ideas. Who would have thought that a food I enjoy would turn into a name that I've embraced, and bigger still, the thought of being part of a great big family?
Today's favorite thing is...
Yes, olives. I think they are so very tasty. And quite lovely to share with friends. And to wear on one's fingers. And to read about. And to name one's blog and digital items after.
Being someone who loves olives as much as I do, it's wonderful to connect with others who have a similar passion. Recently I met Grace via email. She is the proprietor of Pink Olive, a New York boutique filled with the most whimsical and wonderful things. Can you imagine pink olives! I would so eat those! Truthfully, we haven't discussed our olive loves, but we have shared some of the other things that have in common...far away internet connections are so amazing, aren't they?
You can get a feel for the shop from these photos, and there are more on her site. If you're in the New York City area, perhaps you've been? I know that I would be making a point to visit if I get the chance to go to NY. But the good news is that you can still shop her lovely choices online.
And...
You can enter to win this Petit Collage Garland, generously gifted by Grace! Go give Pink Olive a visit, then come back here and tell us what your favorite item was that you saw.
Leave a comment (make sure we have a way to get in touch with you), and you'll be entered to win. The giveaway is open to all US Residents, and will remain open until 10 CST on Sunday, the 27th. A random winner will be announced on Monday.
Good luck, and thanks Grace!
i would either pick up a few cards (adorable) or the baby unisex bundle socks. :]
ReplyDeletethanks for the giveaway!
What a cute shop! I love the Early to do List Print. Enjoy the birthday weekend!
ReplyDeleteThe bramble mushroom nightlight is adorable! I wish I had a little girl to give it to!
ReplyDeleteI have lots of friends who are expecting babies, so I couldn't resist the baby section. The little sock bundles and the mini boat blanket are my favorites!
ReplyDeleteMaybe I was supposed to include my email? whoops. Just in case:

My favorite is the wooden jungle buddies blocks. My son would love them!
ReplyDeletemmm...I just started loving olives...my favorites are the Castelventrano Green Olives (I had to run to my fridge to look that up)--they are sooo buttery and yummy!
ReplyDeleteAnd holy COW that shop is cute! I love the limited edition gift kit (from Chewing the Cud)...so many cute things for making cards and wrapping gifts :)
I love that shop thanks for sharing Mollie! projectrandom13@yahoo.com

The '2012 Owl Calendar' is so cute. I think that has to be y favorite thing, for myself at least.
ReplyDeleteSuch a cool shop!!I agree with Lauren that the nugget monkey is great but I think that the small cotton monkey wins though in terms of monkey-cuteness.

I live right next to Pink Olive & I often pop in there to get inspiration & a friendly hello. (In addition to grace, elly (ie?) is one of the sweetest people ever). My favourite find there is their coffee cup wamer–they have so many fun fabrics that it's hard to choose a favourite!
ReplyDeleteSo glad that wildolive & pinkolive have finally met!
thank you for this beautiful feature mollie! i am having olives this weekend... and hey, you never know! i may find my "pink" olive one day :D happy thanksgiving! xoxo g
ReplyDeleteOh dear Mollie! Not just one thing... Red plaid vest, alpaca mouse hat, and NYC print are just three to choose!! Can't pick one! :-)
ReplyDeleteThe picture on the film made me laugh. I didn't know another family put black olives on their fingers. We, then my children, next my grandchildren, and now my two little great granddaughters have and still put black olives on their fingers. EVERY family gathering had better have several cans of olives in a bowl or there going to a lot of whiney people. LOL I am going to have to figure out how to share that clip with my family. They are going to fall in the floor laughing. We have a saying if a stranger is in the group - you must have Jeffress blood since I see you wearing your olives. Thanks!! Hope you have a splendid Thanksgiving.
ReplyDeleteI loe nugget monkey, thanks for the giveaway.

On one of the changing pictures I saw a pair of gold loafers for a child, but didn't see them in the categories. Those are what I would want.
ReplyDeleteI cant believe I am gonna say this ... but the cute red mushroom night light would be awesome in my kitchen! Super adorable things.... what a great shop..... I also liked her skittles soldiers.... (really, the list could go on and on!)
