Olive Manna from Heaven: a GIVEAWAY of listmaking goodies

March 17, 2010

There is nothing better than a company doing gorgeous work, run by a smart woman. A great example of one such company is Olive Manna, which is owned and operated by designer genius, Natalie Jost.

I could spend all day cruising around the Olive Manna site, which is filled with cute officey/journaley things you won’t find anywhere else. I adore her patterned canisters (which come in several amazing designs and are perfect for holding pens, etc.) clips and bookmarks.

But what really gets my Penelope heart singing is her whole section on Lists and Logs. My favorite item in that section is her List Lover’s Pack, which brings together five (5!!!) of her best listy products.

The pack includes these items:

The List Lovers Pack from Olive Manna

The List Lovers Pack from Olive Manna

Gift Log detail shots

I am incredibly excited that Natalie has agreed to giveaway her List Lovers Pack to one lucky Penelope. Even better, the winner will get to choose which of Natalie’s “collections” she wants the pack to appear in.

THERE ARE A FEW WAYS TO ENTER:

1) go to the Olive Manna Shop and look around. Then, come back here and tell us which of her product caught your eye. You’ll then be entered in the contest.

2) Tweet or blog about this post and then leave another comment (or comments – if you did more than one) telling me what you’ve done.

I’ll use a random number generator to select one winner from the qualifying comments on this post.

DEADLINE to enter is Wednesday, March 24th at 9am Pacific Time. The winner will be announced that day.

I am a huge fan of the Woodern Pattern Magnets! How fun are those??? Thanks for the chance at this giveaway!

Juliette R. March 17, 2010 at 10:08 am

I love the little jotters (esp the Pink Fire Love Jotter), they’re the perfect size to keep in my purse for all the random vocab I pick up (or don’t). I’m fluent in German, but not proficient, so there are always lots of new words to learn living here!

Amanda @ Serenity Now March 17, 2010 at 10:28 am

I love the Doily Blue gift log. :) Great giveaway. :)

Emily March 17, 2010 at 10:29 am

There are so many cute things — it’s hard to pick! Besides the wonderful lists, I love the bookmarks and the canisters (which would totally brighten up my office).

Julie B March 17, 2010 at 10:35 am

Just found your blog, and love it! Lots of ideas to implement for this Penelope wanna-be.

Love the list pack idea… and I’m always a pushover for baker’s twine. I think I have a new favorite place to window shop!

Abbie March 17, 2010 at 11:25 am

I’m in list heaven! I love it. There are too many fun things on her site… the bookmarks– super cute; the hand-painted clothespins– love; blue gingham mini-flags– must have; green wood pattern magnets– fun. Great, now I feel like I need to buy everything!

jenn March 17, 2010 at 12:35 pm

Seeing as I’m addicted to pretty fabric, I’d have to order some fabulous fabric! Or lists. Or the cute gift tags. Or more lists. See? The list goes on!

Brooke March 17, 2010 at 2:46 pm

The classic letter writing set is so cute… but I love the neighborhood print, the jotters… it is all so adorable!

cindy March 17, 2010 at 2:58 pm

All of it was so cute – loved the canisters and the stickers….and I really like the list pack – may have to buy it if I don’t win it :)

Pam March 17, 2010 at 2:59 pm

I laughed out loud when I saw the pencils with “This is not your pencil” on it. :) I also like the canister with the umbrellas on it.

Kristi March 17, 2010 at 3:23 pm

I too love the list lovers package…full of list making goodness!

Kate March 17, 2010 at 4:04 pm

I adore those book corners. Too cute!

gamma March 17, 2010 at 4:36 pm

The Love and Love Stripe decorative clips certainly inspired hopeless longing, with a shout-out for the canister in the Pink Fire Dot. One can never have too many pencil cups or clips if one wishes to be beautifully organized.

Gretchen March 17, 2010 at 5:02 pm

What fun, bright goodies! The book corners are fantastic and I love the gift tags (always an obsession of mine). And Sugar Pop is so bright and fun – I’ll be putting this on the gift list for my favorite friends.

Marci@OvercomingBusy March 17, 2010 at 7:04 pm

There is no way to choose just one item that catches my eye! I love the canisters, the gift logs, the bookmarks!!!

Jodi MacNeal March 17, 2010 at 7:46 pm

Love the little jotters… how kind of Natalie to design the Pink Fire Stripey jotter, which goes with my pink purse AND my red purse!

Sara March 18, 2010 at 7:37 am

LOVING the Decorative Canisters – all of them are adorable but my favorite is the Sugar Pop- Scales, Turquoise.

The list lovers pack is the perfect gift and makes my inner neat-freak smile. :) What a great giveaway!

gamma March 18, 2010 at 8:19 am

This morning I tweeted the following:
I am drooling over the list-maker’s pack giveaway at penelopeloveslists.com. Karren, you would lurve this.

Another entry for me!

Laken March 18, 2010 at 10:14 am

I love this!
I posted about Olive Manna on my blog and my twitter : )

Anna March 18, 2010 at 12:07 pm

Hi!
First: My Dog’s name is Penelope – and she likes making lists too!
Next: I tweeted (yallhavsweettea) and gave a link to this post
Last: I LOVE the printed manila shipping tags and the small manila tags! They remind me of the “eat me” and “drink me” tags in Alice in Wonderland.

Tammie March 18, 2010 at 12:41 pm

My first visit to olive manna! I love it :)

Laura March 18, 2010 at 12:44 pm

The jotters are fantastic! But I think I love the bookmarks the most! Such a clever way to do them :-)

Ashley March 18, 2010 at 4:43 pm

I love the ruffle card stationary! It’s so original and quaint :)

Marta March 18, 2010 at 7:09 pm

Ooooh, I love everything. I really like the design asthetic of their stuff. Fun, green, cool. I like the corner bookmarks, and the fun tags…. everything!

Benita March 19, 2010 at 10:05 am

The Jotters are awesome!!

Jen March 19, 2010 at 10:22 am

Totally heart the orange knit canister and the Pink Fire Trees Canister – makes me want to run out and buy paper clips to put in them or something! GORGEOUS! Fingers crossed for the listing bundle!!

Jen March 19, 2010 at 10:24 am

Just tweeted the following from @MrsMimiTeaches

Gorgeous list making package give away…check it out!! http://tinyurl.com/yz7h9tq

Jayne March 19, 2010 at 1:38 pm

I loved the jotters, especially the Pink Fire one. Thanks for the eye candy! :)

Amanda @ Serenity Now March 19, 2010 at 2:28 pm

Hey, Meredith! Thanks for the comment today. :) I love doing the link lists as much as you guys love reading them. :)

Erin March 19, 2010 at 5:29 pm

My favorite, and this will not surprise you, is the yellow one! (Featured in the top picture). I went to the website and I don’t think it is being sold separately, so I’ll have to win it :) It looks like it is blank, and I would label it, “Card List” – or something catchier. I want to have a place where I jot down everyone I need to send a thank you to, and then cross it off. I do this on random pieces of paper, but then I throw away those lovely lists and then I end up in those situations where I can’t remember if I sent someone a thank you card. I always want to err on the side of thanking them – but it may be obnoxious to get two (probably quite similar notes) about how lovey it was to come over for dinner… So in short!, I love the yellow namesless notebook to keep track of the cards I’ve sent.

Erin March 19, 2010 at 5:32 pm

I tweeted (http://twitter.com/Just1Week) the following:

Fabulous giveaway from Penelope Loves Lists: http://su.pr/1Uo2Ns

Erin @Blueprints of a Southern Belle March 19, 2010 at 6:49 pm

I could only narrow it down to 3 :-) love the “Little Neighborhood Moving Day Cards”, most of the gift tags, AND the Melamine Platter (SUN SOAKING print)!

super cute giveaway.

Erin @Blueprints of a Southern Belle March 19, 2010 at 7:00 pm

I also tweeted from @erinthetweeter this:

Ann March 20, 2010 at 3:02 pm

I’m having a hard time just picking one favorite. I love the Spring Picnic pattern gift tags. And the canister. But I would really use the pink fire jotter…

Traveling Mama March 20, 2010 at 7:42 pm

Oh wow! What a great shop! Thanks so much for letting us know! I love all the trim, but everything is so sweet and soothing!

rose March 20, 2010 at 11:02 pm

ooh such a lovely shop. my favourite would have to be writing a list with one of those ‘i like pretty things’ pencils.x

Terri March 21, 2010 at 1:30 pm

So many fun items to choose from!! I like the Pink Fire collection. I think I need a journal most, but love all the twill tapes and little clips! Blessings!

Natasha March 21, 2010 at 5:15 pm

What a fun giveaway. I love the jotters and if I had to pick my favourite out of those, maybe the pennant jotter? It’s hard to say…they’re all so cute. Crossing my fingers! xo

Casey March 21, 2010 at 6:21 pm

I love the ruffle card! It’s adorable. I would love to win this prize, I love the Bouquet collection

Fruitful Fusion March 22, 2010 at 12:54 am

I LOVE the Fire Love jotter and the Love scallop stickers!!!

Raye Marie March 22, 2010 at 9:09 am

I love the colors in the Amanda Lynne Collection. I also like the bakers twine. Thanks for the fun giveaway!

taranicole March 22, 2010 at 9:19 am

I love that gift log! I have three friends all expecting right now — what a great way for them to organize everything and get those ‘thank you’ notes out before baby arrives!

Stephanie March 22, 2010 at 9:58 am

her site is GORGEOUS!

I love the file folders and definitely all the notebooks…especially the shopping lists as I always seem to be writing on the backs of old envelopes.

kristiin March 22, 2010 at 5:58 pm

Just mentioned your blog and give away on my blog, http://www.windowtowhimsy.blogspot.com. I love checking out your blog for great ideas. Thanks!

kristiin March 22, 2010 at 6:11 pm

Love the patterns on the canisters. I wish they came with lids. I need a big canister with a lid! :)

Laurel March 22, 2010 at 9:32 pm

This is a fantastic giveaway! I love the cotton twill ribbon!

Abra March 23, 2010 at 11:19 am

The bookmark corners are pretty sweet!

lorelei March 23, 2010 at 5:01 pm

The designs on the jotters are so fantastic- I would love any of them. I never visited the site before- so thank you for the introduction :) .

Natalie Jost | Olive Manna March 24, 2010 at 11:30 am

Thanks so much for all the participation, everyone, it’s SO valuable to me to hear your comments – the feedback is priceless!

TWO THINGS:
#1 – you can ALWAYS request any patterned product to be made with any pattern you like, so if it’s not listed, just ask.
#2 – canisters DO have lids! The last picture shown is the top view looking down on a closed canister.

Stephanie C. March 24, 2010 at 8:53 pm

I’m loving the colored bakers twine! That would be great for wrapping gifts!
