GOBBLE till ya WOBBLE!!
WOW!!!
It has been soooo long since I have posted :(, sorry!!! I unfortunately had a bad ankle accident and well...I guess my recovery has taken longer than expected. I am currently in PT, with hope to make a full recovery, but surgery has been mentioned. That does not kill us, makes us stronger! I wish I had a great story, like I was shopping in my fabulous new stilettos, or going to a beautiful dinner and a play. The truth is I was chasing my 4 year old...and bang hit the floor, and tore ligaments, tendons, fractured it and so on..
On a HAPPY, JOLLY, FUN note, we have a new website in progress..http://olivesltd.com/
Please check it out, and it has a Autism Ribbon on it. WE have so many new items in stock, I plan to post some pics this week. Of course old favorites, but not for long..
So OUR NEW MOTTO for the Upcoming year~ "Keep Calm and Carry On". I personally plan to do this to. Thank you to all.
Have a Blessed Thanksgiving Holiday with Family and Friends.
Psalm 107:1 (NIV)
"Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever."
Psalm 100:4
"Enter His gates with thanksgiving, And His courts with praise. Give thanks to Him; bless His name".

Meet Autism.....
I was introduced formally to you when he was two and half, but you came into his life the day he was born. I had heard of you through my nursing studies, and seen you portrayed in movies and television shows, but never considered that I would ever meet or know you the way I have come to know you today. Your presence is discreet at times, but when you feel overwhelmed you make your presence known. Those are the times I am embarrassed to admit I know you, or call you part of the family. I prayed for you and held onto hope and faith you would one day call me “mom” or say” I love you”. Your mind is truly a work of extraordinary means. Your emotions are as unpredictable as the sea, but yet as simple as a sunrise. I am so honored to have been introduced to you. The world knows and labels you as Autism. I know you as my son, Trey.
He was born a month before his original due date. His beautiful jet black hair, olive skin, nose like a button, fingers and toes, were more perfect than I could have imagined they would be. His eyes were big, round, baby blue eyes; they were what I noticed last, but not least. If I had known in that moment that would be one of the few times you would look at me, eye to eye, I would have captured that moment and engraved it in my thoughts. For you Autism, took away that eye contact and kept it to yourself, sharing it only when you are comfortable in your world.
My journey and challenge began at that very moment. I watched you hit milestones, achieve skills, but never heard you say hello. I saw you stack cans so strategically, line your trains in a perfect row, be mesmerized by the turning ceiling fan, but never felt the embrace of your arms around me. I was sad, sad that you Autism had taken that from me without thinking about how much I would miss that, and cry when you took away the excitement and fun of birthday parties that are the joy of childhood, because the sights and sounds caused you to tantrum.
So, unlike a diagnosis of cancer, a terminal illness, or a chronic disease that can affect a young life no one calls to say they are sorry, bring food, or offer to take shifts so I can rest. Instead, you Autism scare them away. How do you expect us to introduce you if you scare them away or make them feel uncomfortable with your awkward noises, repetitive actions, or obsessive thoughts?
Autism, I will not let you take my son Trey without a fight. I am a mother who is not afraid of your consistent routines and schedules. I am no longer sad that you can’t express your love by touch, words or eye contact, for you Trey have more love and compassion than all of us because your world sees no hate or ill will towards others. Autism has made you that way. Autism is a part of my family, but to us his name Trey. Trey, you are a true superhero. You have powers, knowledge and abilities that only certain people have, for not all of us were blessed to have those areas of our brain unlocked. I will continue to be a mother warrior for you Trey, promoting awareness and acceptance, and as for you Autism…you can come along for the ride.

Stationary~ Ohh La La
Happy Weds to all!! It was the first day of school for my sweet pea's..I will blog about that later :)
I am excited to announce we now carry Brittany Fuson Stationary!!! LOVE, LOVE LOVE it. I have a special place in my heart for artist, being my grandmother Olive was one.
This is just a sneak peak, but you have to see the lady silhouette's we have available. They are adorable, and absolutely gorgeous. You can send them out to someone special, a new mom, bride, or frame them...which I have done. They are also each named..like there is "Noel", "Charlotte"....and maybe at some point we could see a "Olive"...hmm...

Blessings to all, and thank you so much for all your support and kind words. We have so many changes and a new vision for Olive's that I look forward to sharing with everyone real soon.
