"To relax, to take time out of one's busy schedule to enjoy or appreciate the beauty of life" has become our mantra here at The Blu Snow at Etsy.

We started our shop as Cotton Essentials offering hand knitted items using the natural fiber of cotton. We have come to understand that the "beauty of life" presents itself in many forms and felt the need to expand our shop to allow us to present the wide array of "beautiful things" and the opportunity for you to embrace them.

Blu Snow is located in Des Moines, Iowa and is family operated.

We offer a wide assortment of beautiful vintage and handcrafted items that capture the artist's vision of "beauty". We know that you are here at Blu Snow because you see and appreciate the beauty and charm in these treasures and hand crafted items.

We take great care to identify all treasures and to provide a Historical backdrop that helps to reflect the value of the item. By recovering these lost treasures we try to reconcile them with their past History. By recovering these lost pieces we hope to provide an opportunity for each piece to be admired and cherished again.

Pieces with a "Hallmark" identify the designer and company and provide a documented trail leading back to their creation.

Some of the treasures bear no Hallmark , but retain a beauty and uniqueness that caught our eye. The material, design and visions of their artist are deserving to continue their legacy as they began in the mind of the artist as a vision of what could be.

We continuously search for those hidden treasures and add them to the inventory here at The Blu Snow, so please check back often.

Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to explore the "beauty of life" here at Blu Snow.
