Hello Bluebird,  have you been?   We bloom girls love cozying up to Hello Bluebird.  It is the go-to place for the kind of gifts you'd love to receive and would be proud to give (not all puffed up kinda proud...but proud you are gifting handcrafted, eco-friendly and socially-conscious goods).

There is a special reason we chose Hello Bluebird to introduce bloom.  Alex McCarty, owner, epitomizes the movement & support of local indie-made goods as she works to celebrate lovely things and people in her cozy nest of a shop, located in the heart of West Reading on the Brownstone Row.

  

A recent upstart, this cozy, colorful palette of all things hand-crafted is celebrating their 3 years.   The self-described Alex, is a "plucky gal who prefers maryjanes and pigtails to heels and a suit, is the mastermind of this indie art emporium" and has given voice to the small business folks with big dreams of creating.

Alex has been supportive in her community not such by representing about 250 independent artists, but buy hosting non-profit events, hosting DIY craft gatherings, featuring local artists on her porch for fun & family events, and organizing Handmade in the Shade, at Shupp's Grove.

  

As if you need us to talk her up...she was voted, by local shoppers, “Best In Berks 2010” for local gift shop (Berks County Living Magazine). Jump on her fan bandwagon via Facebook to follow her events, view her spotlighted artists and for shopping specials.

Be sure to stop by Hello Bluebird to celebrate her 3 years in happy, indie business this Saturday for the Fall Festival and to meet we three Bloom Girls and shop our area favorites!

xoxo,
bloom girls
