Blog: A Wise Blue Owl

Blog by Beebe Cline


MARCH 16TH, 2011 A Wise Blue Owl Once upon a time, in the 1940s, there was a drive-in diner on Second and Burrard called the Blue Owl. Its owner, John, also owned a big building on Broadway and Vine. Fifty something years later, John’s granddaughter, Amanda, took over a space in his building, and opened a home boutique using the family name, Blue Owl. Retro trinkets, family heritage pieces, European antiques, and very cute and irresistible one-of-a-kind collectables fill the shelves of this lovely little store. We left with some bird-shaped candles (blue of course, $6), a Swiss Officer wool blanket ($78) and are contemplating returning for the little bronze horse ($28). If you don't get there first. —ASI Blue Owl Home Boutique, 2308 W. Broadway, Vancouver, 604-568-3610, http://blueowlhomeboutique.tumblr.com
