Bright Colors for Summer Days..


BELLA NOTTE'S SILK VELVETS, SATINS & LINEN PRINTS!


Bright colors make you happy. We love this color combo!


Fitted sheet on the bed is Bella Notte's "Betty". A printed linen in color "Sea Glass." Betty comes of course in all the BN colors.


Silk Velvet in "Pacific" and "Rose Quartz" really score with these vintage ethnic pillows.


Details of these beautiful pillows. 


A simple linen bed for Summer..


Close up of the Pillow Talk Deluxe linen shams. This color of green is so perfect for summer and blends with everything!


Close up vintage body pillow and smaller pillow in front is a beautiful Suzani.


New cotton coverlet from Maine Woolens, is not only beautiful and stylish but is priced very well. Shown in "Polo Tan," this coverlet will get you through the summer and into Fall.


Les Indiennes coverlet is stunning and priced very inexpensively. Shown in "Royale Chocolate." This is a classic Indian design.


Matching standard shams...


Indigo blues are a favorite of our customers and currently we have a new collection in various sizes and designs.


Indigo blues mix so well with a John Robshaw on the left.


Another interesting pale pink and grey bolster pillow. Beautiful on a white bed.


Meet Kathy! Our new awesome employee! Kathy is examining our new Turkish towels with fringe.


Kathy is not just a great employee but is also a great cook! She brought in these fabulous lemon bars and we have to share the recipe.



These best seller towels are not just great looking but are priced very well. You can even monogram on them! (Only comes in white). Bath and hand towels available.


Come in and grab some Nandini bedding before its gone! 40% OFF duvets, quilts and shams. Colors blend so well with John Robshaw.


Meet Jin and Captain! Two shelter rescue kitties from the Newland Shelter in Huntington Beach. Stephanie adopted these two almost two years ago. These two are bigger than life! 


Now meet Chance! He is a 2yr old, 84lb, Pit Bull/ Great Dane mix. He was rescued by Stephanie from the Harbor Shelter in San Pedro, CA. If Stephanie wouldn't have gone to pick him up and transport him to his foster family, he would've been euthanized. Stephanie really gave this boy a "Chance!" He is now going to a forever home in San Louis Obispo! So happy for this boy! 


Now here is Stephanie with 1yr old Liberty. She too was a "red listed" (which means to be PTS or euthanized) Pit Bull mix from the Harbor Shelter in San Pedro, CA. Her life was saved because Stephanie rescued her along with Chance. Liberty was a real sweetheart as she sat in the front seat being driven to freedom and her new home. This rescue took a village with many people involved and the donations received. She will now live a long, happy and spoiled life with a wonderful family in Newport Beach. I hear she is doing very well!

Blue Springs Home cares about animals and Stephanie is highly involved with shelter dog rescues. She is loving it and having great success. We at BSH are very proud of her.

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL ANIMAL SHELTER!

June Blues and Summer Hues

Natural colors mix so well with vintage indigo blues!


Shown here is a new collection of vintage Japanese fabric pillows. 


Close up of the vintage pillows. Front pillow is a Japanese boro patch work pillow.


Close up of coverlet by SDH in natural linen and cotton blend. The white coverlet is a new piece from Maestro Raphael from Italy. The top of the coverlet is linen and the reverse is a high thread cotton. Perfect blend for the upcoming summer nights.


From Bella Notte comes new fabric design called Hayden. This linen fabric duvet is shown in the color "Sea Glass." 


Our favorite knit pillows are by Tricot Naturelle.  This beautiful pillow is hand knitted and combined with vintage natural linen. Will look great on any bed or sofa.


One of our favorite lines in the store is Les Indiennes. Shown above are their fringed coverlets in the Carnation Indigo blue color. Throw this over your bed or sofa for instant drama and color. Machine wash cold water only. Hand blocked in India.


New color from Bella Notte is called "Wedgewood!" Shown here in silk velvet "Loulah," this color mixes beautifully with Indigo blues. The linen in this color looks like your favorite denim.


Les Indiennes in a gold quilt and throw pillows. Front throw pillows are vintage. The duvet is a pretty green color called "Olive."


Les Indiennes catalog showing Indigo blues. 


Les Indiennes in greys and chocolate browns.


Les Indiennes is so light and cheerful. Perfect light weight bedding for summer. Come see our new collection!


Front window bed is showing a mixture of Pine Cone Hill in "Azure" blue. Compliments John Robshaw perfectly. Front pillow is a vintage Kantha pillow with sunflowers.


Mid century green lamp is just lots of fun!


Blue Springs always has a fun variety of interesting art. I think this back ground color is so pretty and goes with so much of our bedding.


Close up of the Pine Cone Hill "Azure' bedding next to the John Robshaw sheets. The turquoise rug would look great next to this bedding. 


New from Dash & Albert are the chenille braided rugs. Comes in all sizes. These are large round rugs.


New from Maestro Raphael are these good looking bathroom rugs for kitchen or anywhere!


New love! From Leitner, a subsidiary of SDH, are these wonderful toile designed coverlets, duvets, shams and pillows. Simply over the top gorgeous!


Close up of the pillows...


More choices...


This blue color is called gold sapphire.


SDH  also produces the best towels. These linen, cotton blend towels are the best!


New color from Bella Notte is "Coral." Shown in New Primrose bolster pillow.


These 50's glass grapes are a fun bit of whimsy! 


These 1960's glass lamps are spectacular! A rare find!


Well stocked red white and blue vintage pillows.


Start getting ready for the 4th of July!! We have a lot of pillows in now that will surely compliment your home.


Stop by and see what we have for the 4th! Flags, flag pillows and bedding to make you feel very patriotic.


A note from Susan:
Sadly we have to say goodbye to our long time employee Lisa Delozier. She and her family have moved to Arizona. Even though we will miss her, we wish her all the best! Lisa was with us for 8 years, she is a part of our Blue Springs family. Shown from left to right is Renae, Lisa, Susan, Yolanda, and Jeanne. The gang all got together at Bayside Restaurant in Newport Beach for a farewell luncheon. We had a blast and great food!
