3. WINE. WINE. WINE. Our personal favorite (besides any from the TX hill country) is ... 19 CRIMES! IT'S SO GOOD!! Plus under $10 depending on where you shop. Did we mention, the wine is scientifically proven to taste better when you purchase from a #smallshop grocery or convenient store? Well, we are preeeetty sure.

4. PUPPIES. Best delivered in pairs. They more the merrier. Your mom will LOVE receiving multiple puppies (we promise). Just look at the image below. I can almost smell the puppy breath through my screen.

A story of a man spreading love, squashing hate & dreaming big. Is there anything better? We don't think so! Happy MLK day! Join us today in exalting the KING and his legacy :)

Behind the scenes : 

This is a topic that comes near and dear to our heart. How can we help join the fight? It's been 55 years since Martin Luther King gave his speech and this world is still battling racism! We came together and decided Oliver & Otis is going to donate over a thousand dollars worth of our "Stick with Love" tees to help spread this vital message! Place an order today to get yours free and help us join the fight - oliverandotis.com.

"I have decided to stick with love, for hate is to great a burden to bear." - Martin Luther King Jr. 

XOXO,

Intro

H E Y   Y O U !

I just want to introduce ourselves {and our new, totally amazing, blog}.

My name is Arin, I am the graphic designer for Oliver & Otis. I hate to brag, buuuut, I seriously have the best job in the world. Going into college in 2009 I knew I wanted to own my own Tshirt company because my passion in art, computers and fashion. Thanks to all of you my wildest dreams came true! Did I mention I get to share the ownership with my two favorite people in the universe?! #blessed

I work with my sister, Allie, she is our wholesale rep {and the best in the world, obviously}. Allie is the kind of person that is on a once in a lifetime vacation in Belize and still can't help but to bring her laptop and check her e-mails on the beach all day. She LOVES what she does with a passion and her biggest fear in life is to let a customer down. Not only is she in constant communication with hundreds of boutiques, but she also sets up our beautiful photoshoots and helps manage our social media! Her social butterfly attitude and constantly excited spirit really amazes me every day!

We also own the company with our mom, Patti! Well... she actually owns 33.4% and Allie and I only own 33.3% ... so she can always tease us about being the REAL #bosslady! Hahah! Besides having the best sense of humor, she is the hardest worker we know. She controls shipping EVERYTHING! That means at Christmas when we need to send thousands of tees all over the U.S. she gathers up our amazing O&O elves and GETS. STUFF. DONE. Yes, she is pretty much Santa Claus. But even more magical! She is also the co-owner for 2 other businesses, a mom to four, a grandmother to 5, and a friend to EVERYONE. Allie and I are constantly baffled how she does it all. I strive to be more like her everyday!

Thanks for tuning in to our first blog!

Let us know what you would like us to blog about next :

• 1. Our cute babies
• 2. How our company name came about
• 3. Other

Love always,

Arin
