Vintage Christmas at "Nest"

Sunday, December 2, 2012

In a couple of days Kevin and I will celebrate our
20th Anniversary!

This past weekend,
we set out to take a short road trip{slash}anniversary get-away,
...exploring the roads
and doing a little junk shopping
between Raleigh and Burlington.




We found some great shops along the way, one being
"Nest."




"Nest"
is currently located in Burlington, NC,
on 346 S. Worth St.

However, they will be relocating in January
to Downtown Mebane, 107 W. Clay Street.




Browsing around 
"Nest"
was a pure delight!

In her blog,
the friendly shopowner, Heather,
labels the store as
"rustic romance for home and garden,"
and very rightly so!

It was amazing to see the various ways
in which they implemented and repurposed "things!"





The displays were over the top 
and the store was beautifully decorated for Christmas!




So just browse through the pics...

Despite the quality of some of the shots
{all taken with my cell},
I hope you are inspired as I was!

After visiting 
"Nest,"
we headed over to Mebane!

Downtown Mebane is a junker's dream spot as well!

Many unique home, gift, and clothing/accessories stores,
line the streets,
run by more friendly store keepers!

I had a wonderful chat,
talking "paint,"
with the lady from Melville Trading Company.

Our last destination before heading home on Sunday afternoon,
was SuzAnna's Antiques in Raleigh,
on 9300 Durant St.
I have been trying to visit her shop for 2 years,
but my time in Raleigh never permitted!
Another real treat  ...great shop to visit!

I'll be sharing my "finds" from the weekend
in near future posts.

As for now,
I'm trying to finish 
decking the halls of my home,
which look a little like Christmas,
and a whole lot like a mess! ha!

Stay tuned,
 a few great give-aways will be offered 
in the next few weeks! :)

  14. Awesome. I had no idea Burlington (and soon Mebane) had stuff like this! Definitely will need to check out next time I head to Greensboro. Nice post! Made me want hot chocolate and sugar cookies, tough.

  16. How have I missed Nest? It's right down the road from me. Planning a road trip there next week!

    Beautiful, beautiful shop, judging by your photos.

    And I love the shops in downtown Mebane and what can I say about SuzAnna's. I fell in love during our thrifting stop there at the Southern Bloggers Conference.

  17. What an adorable store! When you said between Raleigh and Burlington, I thought for sure that is was in Mebane. I'm glad that they're moving there because I love to shop on Clay St. Have you been there? There are several great shops.
