venturing close to home

recently i spent the day in concord, ma; strolling, browsing, shopping, all by myself - lucky me! it's about 40 minutes from my home, but out of my ordinary circle. there is much to do and see in this historic little downtown area. i didn't venture to any of the historical sites, unless you count the many antique shops i visited. one of my first stops was a second story shop called nesting on main, which was pure perfection, talent, passion, and genius. why didn't i have my camera! i had actually heard of it, they had a fabulous booth at the brimfield flea market where i picked up their card, but didn't put the two together until stepping foot in the shop. if i had a shop this is what i would want it to look like - it was like dream walking! the little "pet bird" print i had to have, it's so sweet. the shop was packed full, and wonderfully displayed with vintage bird cages and baths, garden and home items, mixed in with some newer items like faux eggs & nests, and freshwater pearl jewelry.

i'll have to go back during the holiday's to see this little shop all dressed up and sparkly.

xo, heidi
