Spektakulär

Ooh, I am a just little bit in love with Spektakulär, a little shop filled with divine Scandinavian products. It's just off Holy Corner in Morningside in Edinburgh, so if you're in the area do yourself a favour a pop in. I'm definitely heading back to buy a few goodies!

I heart Friday

Yippee, we made it to Edinburgh without any volcanic ash delays! The Toddler and I have already had a play date
(and yup, I am already complaining about the weather - it's freezing! In May!)

Yay, we're off on holiday!

Well, I hope we're off on holiday since we're still not sure if the volcanic ash cloud will affect our travels or not... I'll try to update the blog a few times while I'm away but if I don't get the chance, see you all back here on Monday, June the 13th. Love, Hello Olive x

I heart Edinburgh

Wow, I can't believe we'll back in Edinburgh in just a few days time - well, as long as that volcano doesn't scupper our travel plans! I'm so excited to see all our friends and I cannot wait to do some shopping! So, in anticipation of our wee holiday, I thought I'd post some lovely Scottish finds.

Happy Monday

Well, this has been a Monday of mixed emotions for me. Extreme happiness that The Toddler's passport has finally arrived (two days before we leave for Scotland), and extreme annoyance at my mobile phone provider (MTN, I'm talking about you). But hey, the day is still young-ish, no reason for it not to turn into a Happy Monday :-)

It would definitely put a smile on my face if I passed this on my daily commute!

I love you more

Simple, sweet & lovely

I really like this personalized birth date embroidered hoop by aewilder.

Elephant inspiration

I'm feeling a bit inspired by all things elephant today after watching Water for Elephants last night. I really enjoyed it (surprisingly, more than the book). And it was also loads of fun to go to a movie after dark :-)

I heart Friday (even though it's Saturday)

I couldn't do my usual I heart Friday post yesterday (Blogger was battling some gremlins) so here it is, a day late. Happy weekend!

Prettiness

I looove this clutch. However these days I need a bag large enough to cart about all The Toddler's paraphernalia. But hey, a girl can dream...

Lots of lists

Things have been just a wee bit crazy in the Hello Olive household lately. Too much to do and not enough time (yup, that same old story). So I've been thinking I need a notebook for lots and lots of To Do Lists. And I may even get some things done :-)
