OBLI Organics


OBLI Organics was founded by two sisters, one with two young children and the other expecting her first… both of whom have strong career experience in marketing. Both looking for an opportunity to do work that mattered in a creative environment while keeping family a priority. An organic clothing company that allowed them the opportunity to be stewards of the environment fit the bill.

Both Michelle Young and Melissa Blanco are athletic, well-traveled and blessed to come from a family that appreciates nature and outdoor living. When the family was struck with three cases of breast cancer within a year in 1999, the sisters turned their appreciation for life into a personal education and dedication to organic foods, which became a mainstay for them both. “It doesn’t guarantee our lives will be cancer-free, but making the effort to avoid unnecessary chemicals and pesticides makes sense to us,” said Young.

A dream to form a family company was always a dream that inspired countless discussions during holiday gatherings. During a weekend birthday celebration in April of 2007, Michelle and Melissa discussed a recent episode of Oprah featuring working Moms who started their own successful companies from home. Later that week Melissa forwarded Michelle a link to the Rachel Ray show on “Millionaire Moms” and the very next day the idea for OBLI Organics (an acronym for On Borrowed Land, Inc.) was born.

The idea fit the sisters’ original goals and proved to be a natural outgrowth of their beliefs and lifestyle. After some internet research, Melissa connected with the Organic Trade Association (OTA) and two weeks later the sisters flew to Chicago to attend the OTA’s annual All Things Organic trade show. While at the show, they delved into the new industry attending seminars and workshops on the organic textile movement; walking the show floor and meeting with other retail owners.

Michelle’s advertising agency background following 10 years in resort and club marketing complements Melissa’s position of more than 8 years experience in relationship and marketing management for a Fortune 100 company. Melissa’s specific experience in marketing channels and customer satisfaction is a tremendous asset to launching OBLI Organics. The exciting and most challenging part was learning the retail industry -- something completely new to both of them.

OBLI Organics offers a private line of children’s clothing and doggie fashions produced using only 100% certified organic cotton and manufactured under Fair Trade practices. The sisters wanted to stick to their goal of offering hip and trendy clothing with an “ecolectual” edge in order to appeal to the mainstream. This allows OBLI to educate their clients along with way by providing additional information about living green, buying organic and fair trade practices on the company’s website. OBLI Organics has trademarked the term “ecolectual,” meaning guided or motivated by an intelligent respect for the environment. Michelle and Melissa hope to “spread the ecolectual initiative” and OBLI is the perfect conduit!

“It’s not always realistic to expect everyone to buy organic and live “green” all the time,” says Melissa. “However, everyone making small efforts can return big results. This is the message we want to send.”

They offer a variety of custom designs, one of a kind & handmade originals, as well as boutique & designer labels.

The owner, Meghan Russo, grew up in NYC and started out as a first grade school teacher.
She received a Master's Degree in elementary education and taught as a teacher from 1996 to 2005. In 2005, she moved to Nashville, TN with her husband due to his job relocation.
She decided to take a break from teaching and started working with an 8 week old baby named Abbey. Meghan developed a passion for everything baby and enjoyed shopping around town with Abbey for baby clothes and baby items. However, Meghan was disappointed by the lack of boutique style baby shops that she grew up visiting in New York City. The few that she did find featured such outrageous prices that Meghan was inspired to create her own boutique. She decided to combine her love of shopping and children by creating an upscale boutique that features unique and custom items for baby & children.

With the support of her husband, she started with a very small shop on EBay offering a very select groups of items. She began building relationships with independent designers(WAHM), boutique labels, and local Nashville designers. The store was an instant success and quickly attracted many loyal customers and vendors. So, with the help of Abbey's mom(a very talented graphic designer) Meghan taught her self HTMl and deisgned a unique online boutique. Since the launch of the site over a year ago, the store as grown and expanded to a very large full service baby & children's store with over 1,500 products!

The Children's Nest Boutique continues to grow and change and is constantly updating with new designers and merchandise. Meghan currently lives in New York City with her husband and 2 beloved American Bulldogs. She spends her time searching for new and exciting designs to feature by visiting the hottest boutiques in NYC! Meghan's ultimate goal is "to strive to bring my customers the most unique gifts, accessories, décor, & clothing, but with the ease of online shopping and the glamour of a high end boutique!" Some examples of great finds on
http://www.childrensnestboutique.com/ are My First Scrubs ™, handpainted & personalized storage buckets, Swarovski encrusted Converse shoes, and a cozy winter TUCKler !
