your lighting just got a little jazzy.  dress up your lamp(s) with these one-of-a-kind natural polished gem finials.  we’ve got a collection of bright colors and interesting shapes.  go ‘head, it’s the ‘finial’ touch you’ve been needing.

the clouds broke just in time for our backyard partayyy (whoops! we mean, sale).  we cranked the music on high and let the crowd run wild in our backyard.  our blue crew fans went home with some big-time loot — original artwork, funky new chairs, tables, light fixtures and lots of other gifty goodies.  even our teeny tiny shoppers found a little something to take home too {can’t you just imagine that white rams head over his big boy bed?}!  after the mad-dash, everyone lunched on tasty (and mighty colorful) tacos by our new friends at taco heads food truck.  bargain deals, tacos, ice cold ‘ritas, good friends and a beautiful day — needless to say we had a blast!

we were worried there for a bit this week.  glad to see you’re back!

born and raised in germany, anne campbell, is our euro gal.  she has traveled the world and can chat her way through western europe in their native tongues.  she spent her early career flying the skies as a flight attendant (how fitting) and has now been on board with blue print since nearly its inception in 2010.  there are a lot of small moving parts and behind-the-scenes work that go in to operating this fast-paced interiors shop.  anne helps us keep this well-oiled machine in motion.

things you should know about anne:  she’s a mother first and foremost.  she loves her 3 children with every inch of her being.  she weeps at the sight of her babies returning from college for a long weekend.  she has piercing blue eyes with wildly long black lashes (a la’ natural).  she’s our hostess with the mostest.  she greets customers by name (seemingly knows their extended family by name as well) and will always recall distinct details about the entire gang upon their next visit.  which really means, she’s a listener.  she shows her love in the kitchen.  she cooks, bakes, blends and marinates home-cooked meals and sweets for the entire blue crew on a weekly basis.  some would say she is responsible for those extra few pounds they have gained (kidding. well, sort of).  she has very green thumbs (yes, thumbs is plural in her case) and can usually be spotted watering our flowers in the yard early in the morning.  anne is selfless — always putting others in front of herself.  when anne is around, not only does blue print feel like home, she makes it feel like home with warm chocolate chip cookies baking in the oven.  she is our warm and fuzzy.

look at all of our leading ladies!  it’s a treat to see them under one roof at the same time.  our owners were smiling real purdy for the cameras this morning.  james french photography was nothing short of a hoot on set and we adore him.  watch for our blue doors in volume II of the scout guide this summer!
