What do you do when you meet a friend who shares your same dreams, energy level, and passions? Why you start a business of course!

Chelsea and Flannery met through the small business network of Crozet and immediately started hosting pop-up markets together to encourage and support a variety of female entrepreneurs in and around Crozet. What started as a small side hustle quickly became a dream for a shared retail space to house their two businesses, Bluebird Bookstop and Fancy & Nell. They agreed it would have to be the Just.Right.Place. When the little blue house became available, they knew they had to take a leap of faith. Together.

Flannery and Chelsea's vision from the start has been a place to house their businesses, for Bluebird to ship out of the back AND a place where they can bring in novelty products by all of the awesome female-owned businesses they continue to come across. Bluebird & Company's mission remains constant which is to encourage, empower, and support female entrepreneurs in whatever stage of their business journey.
