We have been noticing Obelisks of all types everywhere these days…..Looking around Nest, we found 4 fabulous pairs ! Any of these would work on a dining room table, a mantle, library table or even on a kitchen island for a fresh, new look. Stop by or give a call for price quote ….and Happy Spring
Happy Holidays!
The holidays are almost here! Nest is looking very festive these days, and we have our first doggy bed in the store now! We will be offering three sizes and lots of different fabrics, and you can also zip off the cover and wash it (key).. We will also be happy to do custom dog beds with your fabric, or help you pick something out.
We will be hosting a Holiday Open House on Friday, December 7 from 5-7, so please stop in for some holiday cheer and see the many great gifts we have.

Works in progress
We are busy putting together some great looking pillows and other goodies for the store in Lakeville, as well as the three trunk shows we are doing next week! First, we are in Bedford, NY on Wednesday, November 14 at the Parish House, then off to Rye, where we do a two-day show at Apawamis Club, the 16th and 17th. Believe it or not, we will then do an evening show on Saturday the 17th in Millbrook, NY!
I love doing the trunk show/vendor fairs. No matter how the last one went, we are always filled with optimism and excitement for the next one, and of course, we love to introduce new people to the things we love!
If you are in the area of any of these events, please stop by and see us!

Clutter
I am, of the three partners in our business, by far the least able to control clutter. If it drives my two business partners crazy, they do not let on.
I love little decorative doodads and always think I could use another one, but then I frequently feel overwhelmed when I walk in the room (particularly my kitchen).
There is a fine line between cluttered/cozy and downright messy. I think the following get it just right.

What a week!
I have to say, Nest has been so busy since we opened our new space in Lakeville. Last week we spent two days at a great trunk show/vendor fair in Rye and the Shenorock Shore Club. This fair is organized by Pam Scott, who does an amazing job picking a wonderful mix of vendors. There was something for everyone there. Of course, I had to toodle around and do a little shopping of my own…
We were really happy with all the great feedback from the shoppers and vendors, and are looking forward to doing more of these fun, hard working road trips!
Please don’t forget to come visit us at our new space in Lakeville, CT if you are in the area. The address is 11 Brook Street, on the same sidestreet as the new firehouse. Also, our etsy site will be growing, so please check out what we have on a regular basis. The shop name on etsy is nestmillerton.
Thanks for joining us!

Nest has a new Mascot!
In preparation for our three upcoming trunk/marketplaces this summer, we thought that “Nellie” the wonderful wicker elephant “bar” would be just the perfect showpiece for our Nest booth! Originally from Maine she found her way to Northwest ct, and now graces the inside of our store!! Her personality speaks for itself . Come visit her and us at Fitchs Market. July 20-22nd or of course at Nest!

Fabulous Rattan Chairs Before and After
Lisa found these fabulous vintage rattan chairs and transformed them to become Nest worthy. On a beautiful March day she sanded, scraped, and painted them a glorious coral color. Then she recovered the cushions in a brown and white Quadrille fabric. Come visit us at Nest and see them for yourself. You won’t be able to resist!!!
