The Olive Oil Merchant stands poised to deliver only the finest Italian olive oil and specialty foods to our lucky, lucky canuckian neighbors.  With their clear dedication to quality and tradition, they’re sure to bring some Mediterranean sunshine to the Great White North.

Congratulations on the lovely new website, Olive Oil Merchant!

Mmmmmm… candy.

Anyhoo, we’re (obviously) happy to announce the launch of Ooh La La Candy!  With a variety of gift assortments and candy-filled greeting cards, Ooh La La has something for every occasion, but their premier product is clearly their candy cupcake: a whimsical novelty treat that is an absolute delight to receive.  We say that from experience.

As we’ve mentioned in previous posts (here and here), there’s little that we enjoy more than surprise packages filled with tasty treats and the nice folks at Ooh La La were kind enough to launch their site design project with a box full of their delicious wares.  Hit the jump to see a sample of their adorable offerings out in the wild…

See what we’re saying?  How cute is that?  Can you think of anything that would be more fun to find in your mailbox?  Neither can we.

Thanks for the sweet surprise, Ooh La La, and welcome to the Brand Labs Family!

With the wedding season fast approaching, could there be a more fitting introduction than Ella Park Bridal?  With a brick & mortar store in Newburgh, IN, Ella Park not only uses their site to sell online, but to schedule appointments for their real world salon and to gather information from brides-to-be in order to make their on-site visits more fruitful.  It’s an excellent integration of the real and the virtual.

Grounded is dedicated to modern living and the home furnishings and gifts that go along with a contemporary lifestyle.  Their site is clean and airy and makes us want to make a nice cup of green tea, listen to NPR and talk about post-modernist French cinema.
