Behind the Name

To start i wanted to explain how i came up with the name Olive Rraine. Just like many of you, Granny (Barbara Lorraine Albright) had an amazing impact on my life. All the wonderful crafty things i love to do i learned from her, especially sewing. So i used a common nickname and a portion of Granny's middle name to create a title that hopefully one day will be the brand of my clothing line. Grandpa gave Granny the nickname Olive Oyl way back when because of her thin body (although i'm not quite sure she was happy about that). Then about two years ago a friend of mine from school, Vlada, joked that i looked like Olive and the name stuck. For the second part of my title i've just always loved the name Lorraine so i made a slight twist and dropped the Lo. So in a nut shell that's how i got the title Olive Rraine. i hope there will much more to come out of the name.
