Catching up...

I guess I am catching up for lost time! I did 3 posts tonight so be sure to read them all! You don't want to miss out on anything! :)

Also, don't miss out this weekend, Sister's Garden & Bloom in Kalona is having their open house Friday & Saturday. I know it will be wonderful. See their blog for more info http://sistersgardeniowa.blogspot.com

What can I say...WOW!

Took a little roadtrip on Sunday to an amazing store, Cross Creek Antiques in Fairfax, IA. Wow, this place is amazing!!!! We were there for hours & I know we still didn't see all of the treasures that were tucked here & there & the displays were just fabulous! It's not a big place but it sure did not disappoint! And, Barb the owner, is just a gem! We could visit for hours! I cannot wait to return! Here are just a few pictures to drool over & this is just the outside!

What a great day! :)

This Sunday, November 22nd...

Come out to see us this

Sunday, November 22nd at Comfort Suites in Burlington, IA.

at the PEO Holiday Bazaar from noon-4pm.

We will be bringing a little Christmas, a new line of jewelry that just arrived this week, our decorated votive candles & as much other goodies that I can cram onto an 8ft table!!! There are to be a total of 41 vendors at this show so be sure to come out & have some fun!!!

Holiday Open House...a success!!!

Well, I'm a little slow at getting pictures posted from the open house but as you all know, life is crazy! I can't believe how fast this month has gone! We had an amazing turnout for the open house & sold tons of stuff!!! Thanks to all that came out & made it a success, we so appreciate your business & your nice comments! And, although lots of stuff was sold, we still have lots of great stuff left!!!

Hope you enjoyed a little view of The Nest! Remember if you see anything that you are interested in, let us know! I hope to get some more things added to the website next week including some Christmas goodies!

Whew, we made it!

Well, we survived set up for the open house & was ready for the first customers to arrive(except for a few small details that always seem to be left undone). I thought I would show you some before & after pictures. I forgot to take pics when things were really torn up but this gives you an idea of why we must close when getting ready for the Holiday Open House. It is usually hard to walk through & I always seem to break something in the process! I didn't think we would be ready but we made it & I was happy with the end result. I couldn't have done it without my trusty helper, Jan, that seems to always get the dirty work. She was in charge of the outside decorating & did a wonderful job! Then she had to clean up after me! :) Some things you can only enjoy in the pictures as they sold within the first hour today! But rest assured, there is still so much more to choose from!

This was yesterday or maybe Tuesday, the days have all ran together this week!

Yikes!

Probably my favorite display this year. Vintage tarnished silver pieces mixed with reproduction mercury glass & apothecary jars. It looked beautiful all lit up tonight. Plus the black & white tree! Love it!

The after picture...

I will add more photos of the open house later. Thanks to all that came out today! We had a great crowd & a great time!!!
