It is such an honor to have an opportunity to blog about one of my favorite stores in Long Beach, Blue Windows. Without Blue Windows, Peach Mailbox wouldn’t even be here today. I first found this amazing boutique shop when I used to work in Long Beach. I used to go there on my lunch break and walk around the store when I had a creative block (for a lack of a better word) and needed some inspiration. Then one day I had an opportunity to meet the owner of the store Heather, who is truly brilliant, creative and sweet. She has wonderful taste for style and as you can see below, her store displays are absolutely outstanding. Since I also used be a visual merchandiser for Restoration Hardware way back when (another retail store I worked at while looking for a full-time graphic design job). I really appreciated the work that she put into her store display and all the way down to signage. It starts with the window displays, each and every corner of the store has its own theme and even customize ceilings displays. Five Stars in my book!!! I just can’t get enough of how creative Heather and her team is.
when I first designed my scented cupcake card, I went to Blue Windows and met with Heather. Back then, I only had 1 card! Now Peach Mailbox has over 100 greeting cards both scented and non-scented. If you have a chance to visit my website, under the about us page, it was Heather at Blue Windows who gave me my first opportunity and I will never ever forget that.
At Blue Windows, you will find all kinds of unique items that you never thought you needed until you see them and then you say to yourself “I got to have this”. Her jewelry sections are awesome blossom. I bought most of my jewelry pieces from Blue Windows. Let’s just say, I never walked out from the store empty handed. I found a lot of cute little items that made such perfect gifts for special occasions and/or just because. When I was there to take pictures of her store yesterday, I came home with a note book and heart shape hair clips. Confession, I would probably buy one of each item in the store if I could.
One of the things that Heather is doing right now that totally caught my attention are her monthly charitable donations. Each month, she picks an organization for her donation. I am all for that! I think that it is such a wonderful thing to give back to the community. For her January 2010 charity, Blue Windows donated 10% of the store’s profits to The Long Beach Rescue Mission and the month of February, 10% of jewelry sales will be donated to Hearts Without Boundaries. For more information about the orgazination and to follow Blue Windows’ monthly charitable donations, please visit http://bluewindows.net/journal/.
Thank you so much Heather for giving Peach Mailbox a chance and believing in my work. I’m so glad I had a chance to meet you and I’m so grateful everyday for this opportunity. Most of all, thank you so much for your generosity and for being who you are. we need more people like you in this world.
Thank you so much Gamie for your kind words. It is always a pleasure to see you! You are so talented and I am so glad you are a part of my store!
