For the 4th straight year we will be showing our maps at the Largest Lake Home and Cabin Show in the Upper Midwest. Today through Sunday the Minneapolis Convention Center will be filled with Cabin owners dreaming of the upcoming summer. If you happen to make it down there, we are in the back row, booth 6. Also look for our ad in the Official Show Program!
Parade of Homes – Lake Minnetonka Map
A few months ago we were approached by the owner of a beautiful home on Lake Minnetonka that was set to be featured in the Parade of Homes. She was looking for a large map of the lake, so after discussing the various options, she choose a Premium Quality, 60″ x 40″, in the Original Color. I haven’t been out to the home to see how it looks yet, but based on the email we received today from a new customer it must look great…
Hello Brad,
The builder and designer are jealous.
More inquiries about the map than building a home. 🙂
I live in Excelsior. What size is the one on that wall, and if I wanted just the one you have there, how much is it, with a pickup in Eden Prairie….so no shipping? Went to the Etsy site.
Can we do this?
We SO appreciate getting emails like this… makes all the hard work and time spent worth while!
Here is the link to our shop if you are interested in purchasing the same map as these customers:

Twin Cities Live!
Our maps were recently featured on the Twin Cities Live television show. A Lake Minnetonka and Pelican Lake map were featured in a segment named “Show your Minnesota Pride”. Along with our maps they featured other local products that represent Minnesota. We were honored to be selected and had a great response from viewers immediately as we started receiving calls just minutes after the segment aired!
Here is the segement (we are the last product they talk about):

The Common’s in Excelsior
For the past month or so a selection of our canvas lake maps have been on display at The Commons in downtown Excelsior. The Commons is an innovative public workspace which selects local artists to display thier art in thier beautiful space. We have chosen an assortment of metro and out-state lakes to display for the duration of the show which goes through June.
In addition to this, next week on Wednesday June 26th from 6-8 there will be a Art Reception at the space. The event will be featuring our maps as well as the work from local artist Al Whitaker who specializes in photos from Lake Minnetonka. We would love it if you could join us for this fun summer event on the shores of Lake Minnetonka. Snacks and refreshments will be provided. Here is a small note from Lindy who is helping host the event.
The Commons is thrilled to have the opportunity to share Brad’s canvas lake maps with our community. We currently have 6 maps exhibited and the response has been so positive. I constantly find people studying one map or another and sharing ‘lake stories’ with our coworkers. Our love of lakes is something all Minnesotans have in common so this type of art has a special way of bringing people together. We’re looking forward to featuring Blueprint Maps at our upcoming art reception, ‘Lake Living’ on Wednesday, June 26 from 6pm to 8pm. -Lindy McClure
The Commons is located at 540 Lake Street in Excelsior and can be reached by phone at 952-474-1001. We hope to see you there on the evening of June 26th from 6-8!
