Gleena

New porcelain dishes from "gleena" have worked there way from Rhode Island all the way to our shop...and they are beautiful! The patterns are lovely and the dishes are so one of a kind, any kitchen counter or cabinet would scream for joy.

Merchandise

We brought in a selection of books for the garden, organic living, home and crafts...a new grouping of table top books is arriving soon.

Mixing the old with new...vintage pillows and bags, they are so pretty!
Selling monsters and one of a kind gifts for kids...they create a very special gift!

Summer has certainly arrived! The heat is pretty intense so we've been spending much time inside rather than the patio moving and re merchandising ...no surprise! The never ending changing of the shop ~ at times we laugh at ourselves in exhaustion, but in the end the shop looks pretty fresh and we're happy!

Mosaic Workshop

Thursday we had another workshop for kids...it was a nice turnout and again, the kids are so creative! They seemed to enjoy themselves and made mosaic pots and planted succulents. Most of the project started off as gifts for others, but in the end, most of the kids didn't think they were going to be able to part with their new mosaic.

Handmade Banners!

OUr first workshop for kids ~ what fun it was, what great banners they made! We look so forward to our next weeks class...
Making mosaic pots!

Books

A new introduction to Belle's Nest...books! This is something we wanted to carry from the beginning.We do offer a selection of used books relating to arts, crafts, garden, cooking and just some plain old, funky cool books. Some books donated by friends, some from our homes and some found at second hand shops. We love mixing old with new, so we decided to bring in a selection of new books as well...all relating to topics we love such as the arts, crafts, garden, and organic lifestyle. You will find a couple great books for kids relating to these very topics. We will be adding to our book selection continuously ~

New Artisans!

I feel like I haven't posted in so long and maybe it's because I haven't! One day it's June 1 and now we are at the end of the month....I don't know where the time has gone. With school getting out, computers crashing and vacations in the midst...everyone is busy!
We are so blessed to have new artisans bring in their treasures...welcome "ramona paloma"
Two wonderful women who have created a special series of tiles. You can tell their heart and soul are engraved in the tiles...they are incredibly sweet, unique and beautiful(the tiles and the artist) Can you tell we are excited!
New hats just arrived from San Diego Hat Co....they are perfect for our small town. Everyone walks, works in their yards and attends outdoor events. The hats are UV50...I never knew hats contained UV!
Tyn Atol just brought in adorable garden markers for your herbs, vegetables and inspirations...made of vintage silverware, she has created something very functional and incredibly sweet.
Tyn is doing our July window display...I'll make sure to take photos and share, also look for the future postings of her workshops she will be teaching at the Nest.
So much is going on and new things are arriving weekly, I will do my best to keep you updated.
Have a great weekend!

Please join us for our artist reception Friday evening 6-8pm featuring James Faulkner.
