A shop tucked high above the others, like a decorated bowerbird nest.  Located above a cafe on Main Street in Concord, Massachusetts.

DSC09354This is the place I would like to take you to today.

DSC09327This little haven has lifted my spirits on a bad day,

DSC09339

DSC09326and inspired me on the good days when I am swept away on creative adventures after memorizing the magic.

DSC09352

DSC09337Yes, this is the place that has inspired so many of my fabric designs and posts.

DSC09361More than the objects, more than the beautiful and talented way each shelf, nook and cranny and corner is staged...

DSC09335The warmth and attention that these ladies give to their customers makes you feel like you are coming home.

What a fun store, Karen! I saw so many things I could take home. And I particularly love the old propeller. How neat! And a cabinet with a bead board back painted blue and bird cages... just all sorts of neat pieces. I can see why you love this.

XO,

Sheila :-)

I could spend at least a week in this nest! I see your inspiration!

Dolores said...

Oh goodness..... I wish we had a neat looking shop like this one. Our small town is lacking in fun and interesting shops. I could spend hours in the one you've shown us....
Hugs,

It's a pleasuredome! The birdcages are just so lovely and I saw something on a wall that looked like a propeller. Love it!

I'm so excited because I get to start painting and decorating the interior of my home. It's been long postponed since my eye got sick six months ago.

I finally get to fluff my nest!

Deanna :D

Oh my what a shop. I would love to have my home look like that. I love anything related to nature and that is an incredible nature filled space. Thank you for sharing it with us. I could spend all day looking and getting so much inspiration from this shop. ~~Sherry~~

Karen, isn't Nesting on Main wonderful? I've posted about them a few times on my blog as well. Concord is always such a beautiful place to visit. We usually go in October, with a visit to Sleepy Hollow Cemetery always on the list of "must visit today" places! Your photos of the shop were lovely!!... Donna

Oh Karen!!! How I LOVE this shop, and the thought that you took the time to invite all of us with you. It's lovely! I'm going to take another "scroll" through it all to soak up the beauty! :)

Wishing you a lovely weekend ahead,
