Some VERY cute new pieces just came in from Serenity Lake Maine and we are completely smitten 🥹💛

First up the sweetest decorative board featuring a tiny hand-painted lamb 🐑

It’s giving all the cozy, country charm and would be such a special little touch in a kitchen, entryway, or tucked into a shelf display.

And then… the fabric floral spools 🌸

These are so cheerful and unique perfect for styling on a bookshelf, brightening up your desk, or adding a soft pop of color anywhere that needs a little sunshine.

If you love those warm, homey, cottage-style vibes… you’re going to fall in love with these 💫

New goodies just arrived from Lala’s Fancy and they are giving all the summer vibes ☀️💛

We just stocked up on the cutest ankle bracelets perfect for sandal season, beach days, and adding a little sparkle to your everyday look ✨

And the summer earrings… stop it right now 😍

Think fun, lightweight, and just the right pop to dress up even a simple tee and shorts. These are the kind of pieces you’ll reach for all season long!

Whether you’re heading downtown, to the beach, or just soaking up some sunshine, these little accessories are the perfect finishing touch 💫

We just got a delivery from Bixby Chocolate and let’s just say… things got a whole lot sweeter around here 💙🫐

You’ll now find:
🍫 Chocolate covered blueberries
🍫 Chocolate blueberry bars
🍫 Needhams (a Maine classic!)
🍫 And yes… chocolate sardines 👀

Don’t panic though, these “sardines” are 100% chocolate and 0% fish 😂 phew!

If you’re a chocolate lover, you’re going to want to stop in and check these out!

Heads up! We’ll be closed tomorrow while we do some display moving and a much needed re-arrange.

Dad’s got the week off, so he’s been promoted to full time furniture mover 😅 Send all the good vibes (and maybe back support prayers) our way!

We’ll be back open Tuesday, hopefully still standing.

We’re so excited to have these new tote bag options in the store from Colleen's Embroidered Creations!✨✨

Just in… and I’m already thinking about all the ways to use these 😍🫐

Freshly stocked Blueberry Jam AND Blueberry Habanero Salsa are now in the store!

The jam is that perfect sweet, Maine blueberry goodness amazing on toast, biscuits, or honestly straight from the jar (no judgment here 💁‍♀️)

And the Blueberry Habanero Salsa… a little sweet, a little heat 🔥 It’s SO good with chips, over cream cheese, or even paired with grilled chicken!

If you love a good mix of sweet and savory (or know someone who does), you’re going to want to grab these while they’re here 💙

Beautiful junk journals were dropped off today and I am officially obsessed 😍

Each one is completely unique and filled with so many fun little details, think layered papers, vintage vibes, pockets, textures, and all those little surprises that make you want to sit down with a cup of something cozy and just create ✂️📖

Whether you’re a writer, a memory keeper, or just someone who appreciates something handmade and one of a kind, these are definitely worth checking out. They would also make such a thoughtful gift for someone who loves to journal or craft 💛

Something exciting is happening at The Nest… 🐾

Our dog section got a little glow-up AND a brand new home right at the front of the store! 🐶✨

We figured… why should humans have all the fun shopping? Now your four-legged shopping buddies (or their humans 😉) can check out all the goodies the moment they walk in. From treats to cute finds, it’s officially a tail-wagging welcome.

Stop in, take a peek, and let us know what your pup thinks, we may need to start taking customer reviews in barks 🐕💬
