Hi there, our names are Chelsea & Nick. Welcome to a tiny slice of the internet that holds the story of something meaningful we're building as a family.
We met on the dance floor at a mutual friend's wedding and, through the years, we're realizing how much dancing can have in common with the paths we walk in life. On the dance floor, there is no singular, straight line that we all follow. No one right way to move. Instead, there are steps forward and there are steps back. And, especially for the bravest of dancers, there is a tendency to let your heart lead the way. That's what we're doing here at Bleu June.
As so often can happen when we have the spaciousness to reflect on the pebbles the universe has left for us along the way, we might notice the ways we've been prepared for a new path to emerge. This has been the case for Nick. Since he was a high schooler, shortly after losing his Dad, he's been his family's handyman and carpenter. He went from being his family's fixer to the go-to-guy to call when his friends and extended family needed things done around the house. Nick turned his basement and, later, his garage into a woodworking space as he started building custom pieces for his community of people. And for the last 10+ years, he has been building his knowledge and fine-tuning his craft.
Bleu June is named after our first two kids and the idea was conceived of at the same time we became pregnant with our last little one. Our hope is that Bleu June can be an expression of beliefs we'd like to instill in our children, including the notion that we can and we should venture off our paths to explore anew; that there is incredible value in dreaming something up and then using our own hands to build that dream; and that small, family created businesses still have an important place in this world.
As a new small business, we’d love to ask for your support.
