Because you ask~~ my new Shabby Chic nest

So many of you have asked for a shabby chic nest - in shades of white, with lace, and lace, and more lace~~

 and soft white feathers~~

and vintage ribbons~~

elegant~

 dreamy~

 just a touch of beige~~

I've been collecting ribbons and lace now for several months.  Searching through every shabby box at the flea markets and antique stores~~

  

As with all my nests -- these little creations contain over 200 beautiful white and beige yarns.

 Gorgeous yarns.
(you should see my white yarn stash !)

  (With just a tiny bit of a green petticoat peeking out from underneath.) 

I'm sharing some precious lace and linen fragments from my Mother's collections in these exquisite nests.

  In my heart, I believe that they are worthy of belonging here, nestled between the yarns. 

 I know my Mother would approve~

   And sweetly tucked deep inside - 2 little beige stoneware eggs,

 sculpted with love

 as only my friend Michelle 

can do. 

(Michelle --can I just say right here in front of everyone that I love you?) 

Thank you for sculpting these precious little eggs.

These nests are NOT part of my designer series -- 

 I will make these nests once a year, in the fall when I make the Woodland nests.

  If you would like to have one of these little creations,

 you are welcome to email me for the info

 and be placed on the waiting list.

 Production will start in late November

 and continue

 through the winter months.  

 

Thank you for sharing your thoughts

 regarding the "building" of this nest. 

 I read every email that you send, I take notes, I think,

 -- a lot -- 

(sometimes too much!)   My sketch book is working overtime right now!  

I have tried so very hard to embrace your desires and to create a nest that you will love~~

 Introducing my "next BIG thing"~~

The Shabby Chic nest.

A little update!  I am totally overwhelmed with the response to this nest - thank you for loving it so much!  My email box is going crazy with all of your private emails -- please be patient - I will answer every one of them today or tomorrow.  

Someone just ask me if they could send a bit of treasured lace from their Mother's wedding dress for me to weave into this nest.  Another just emailed to ask if they could send a remnant from a treasured handkerchief --- are you kidding me --- YES!  I will be honored to weave a treasured bit of ribbon, lace,or fabric into these little nests. Even bits of a treasured necklace or jewelry. It would be my greatest pleasure to make this a nest that could also serve as a home from a treasured heirloom.  (Why didn't I think of that!!!)  

I was also ask if there would be an extra charge for adding the little treasures -- are you kidding me --- NO!  It would be the most wonderful gift that I could give to you~~
