Our Story:
Blue Springs, Alabama was the small town Susan Ellison's mother grew up in...and that is where it all started. Surrounded by creative women, Susan first fell in love with old textiles and linens at an early age. She first learned about quilts from both grandmothers and learned to appreciate the work and the art of creating an heirloom quilt. The world of quilts opened the door to all k
inds of textiles. After moving to California, Susan traveled all across the United States and Europe looking for old textiles and linens.
“Today I’m in love with mixing patterns and colors, old and new. I especially love our vintage pillows. They are so unique and really make a statement.”, says Susan. Her Southern California store “Blue Springs Home” is filled with Indigo blue pillows made from vintage fabrics from all over the world. Not just indigo blue, her store has Vintage textiles and European fabrics collected from everywhere. Kantha quilts from India are a personal favorite and this store has hand selected the best. Old Suzani textiles and pillows are a specialty of this unique European inspired shop. Susan will tell you that her shop is a tribute to her mother, and all the Southern women in her life that helped instill a love for fabrics and design.
