Our Schtudio

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!

Upcoming Bridal Show : April 6th

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.

Ashley + Dave Save the Date

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, 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.) Invitation pics to come shortly!

Givin' Blood

So I know it doesn't look like these arms are big enough to hold a few pounds of camera, but it's quality not quantity that gets it done. ;-) Not that we have any superhuman strength, but our ghostly white arms serve us well.

I was all stoked that we got pink wraps when we gave blood. They asked if I wanted a bandaid instead and I was like, "Heck no! I can get a bandaid at home! Give me some of that pink jazz!" We try to remember to do this every so often. It is a little thing that totals the length of a coffee shop chat, yet can do a lot. Plus, you get sweet goodies at the end. I'm a total "cringe and look away the entire time" kind of person, but it's a bearable thing.
