This is my first! It has been up about two weeks
How did you decide on a name for your website?
It is the name of my Rocky Mountain Art Business
What makes it different from other, similar offerings?
Blue window provides opportuinities for small groups of people to to wake up their creativity and connect with nature at a real art studio in the woods. The Blue Window Cabin is a woodland retreat resting in a truly inspiring and beautiful spot surrounded by conifer forest, aspen glens, hummingbirds, wildflowers, and a seasonal creek. The 120-year-old restored log cabin is part of a historic mining camp that once provided bed and board for Teddy Roosevelt. I can find nothing else like it when I do a search for artist retreats, Rocky Mountain art workshops, or hand-made paper art. Blue window is one-of-a-kind!
