Heartfelt & Lawn....

Below are some pics of the latest Tasmanian label to find a home in Nest. Sewn ever so passionately by the gorgeous Nina McMahon, "Heartfelt & Lawn" bags, clutches and purses are absolutely stunning! Nina, who lives at Eaglehawk Neck and lives {in her words}a secret double life as a teacher {hehe} has an amazing flair for combining beautiful fabrics. In turn she creates timeless pieces that will add absolute charm to your wardrobe collection.

Compliments the Winter Elk range of accessories perfectly!

A winning combo of Charcoal and Mustard, with gorgeous wooden handles.


Wool, Cotton and beautiful buttons


So vintage looking....so sweet.......

Break away....

Well, it's been a over a year now since Nest began and as much as I have loved every single day I've decided it's time for a little holiday...In a couple of weeks my husband and I {Yes!! No children!!} are heading off for a week of bliss to Daylesford!! I've heard that it is a beautiful place to visit and so I can't wait! The down side is that I will be closing Nest for a week... I apologise if this will be an inconvenience to anybody planning to visit but I'm hoping that you will understand. It's only for a very short period and hopefully I will return home energised and ready for another amazing year! I may even come home with some new goodies....:)


Going on a holiday!


My Tony & I....

In search of treasures....

But anyway... that's a week away and so still plenty to show you before then .....:)

Fuzzy mice!

Fuzzy {little people} slippers & fuzzy purses

Tea time...

For that perfect cup of tea..... Preheat your cup or pot. Be sure to not over boil the water.Brew for 2-4 mins and serve {if desired} with sugar or honey to taste.....Most importantly take the time to sit for a moment and enjoy....maybe in a favourite spot?....maybe with a favourite cup?


And how special would these cups be?! Yes, they are back! Hugely popular, the hidden animal teacups are back at Nest! In three designs; Bear, Fox and Owl. Be quick though before they all find a special home.....



And here is a question for you guys.... When my Grandmother made a pot of tea I vaguely remember that she would swivel the pot so many times one way and then so many times the other. Does anybody know what that was about? {And no, I'm fairly certain she didn't suffer from OCD! :)}

If anybody can solve my longtime mystery I have a gorgeous "Peppermint Tea" brooch from Notions that I would love to send your way......x

Winter wants....

As I sit looking at grey skies, my toes feeling cold within my boots despite my woolly layers, I have for you a collection of pieces that I desire to keep me cosy....

A gorgeous big scarf...

A cup of hot chocolate...




a divine pair of leather gloves...



a pair of long woolly socks...

Loving Leather

New in store are these gorgeous I-phone covers by "Brainbow". Now...I haven't got an I-phone{my son is desperately trying to convince me that I need one?}, but if I did, I would put it in one of these! I love leather and these leathers are beautiful! So too are the colours. Hand made at it's finest, these would actually make a wonderful gift for that difficult to buy for guy in your life





Yes, there is nothing quite like the feel of leather to lull you into that sense of opulence
