March 2008


After a few months of prepping, flooring, painting, and using fancy powertools that could take off a finger, our studio is now our new work home. Wouldn’t it be cool if this whole building was ours? But it’s just upstairs, where we share the floor with Maya Yoga and Brickhouse Studio. We’re located in the Crossroads Arts District on 18th Street, in between Wyandotte and Cental. (Just west of YJ’s and the Birdie’s with the glowing pink underwear.) We kind of live here a lot, but do call ahead to make sure we’re about before popping in.

A bit about the building: It was built in the 1920’s, I believe, and was a screening house for Walt Disney. There were even some old film reels in the basement we found while playing adventure down there. There’s some really neat vintage movie posters all about the buiding. One of my favorite details, is the gentlemen and ladies writing on the bathrooms. More pictures of cool things around here to come!

So, the thought of going to a Bridal Show, as a potential bride and/or groom, makes me want to breathe into a paper bag. I imagine it to be kind of like walking through the perfume and make-up section at a busy department store. Where by the end you smell like three different things, one of them being men’s cologne, and sporting a set of fake eyelashes. Okay, well-maybe not quite like that, but the idea is still overwhelming.

In order to aid in the fight against overwhelmed-itis, we’ll be hosting a booth at the PWG Bridal Show, Sunday April 6th. I think we’ll be somewhere towards the back, so do swing by and check us out. We’ll be giving away a free custom invitation and photography goodies. Bridget with Ornamental Petal will be helping us finesse our booth styling. (I’m so stoked to see how our display plan comes together!) Our new invitation site will launch shortly and thought it would be a good way to spread the Blue Window word.

Man, I really dropped off the blogging bandwagon there for a bit. To make up for it, here is some neato stuff. This is a Save the Date we designed for an awesome couple, Ashley + Dave, who’s wedding is coming up in May. We created this pattern from an element on her dress, as well as created a monogram identity. Something completely unique, as well as green friendly. (No envelopes as this was a Postcard and her Invitations are completely self-mailing.) Their wedding and reception will be held at the Hobbs Building (Where Feasts of Fancy hosts and caters events.) Invitation pics to come shortly!
