Flowers and Pretty Things for Mom

Flowers for Mom.  Its a traditional gift.  So this year, why not give Mom a give of flowers that won't be ready for the trash bin after three days.  Library of Flowers is the wonderful collection that we just got in the store.  Linden, Honeycomb and Field & Flowers.  Each scent is unique and comes in a variety of items.  There are milk bath bars, perfumed creme, bath oil, lotion, soaps and more.  And packaging…just beautiful.  

 And can't Mom use a new scarf, wallet or oversized carry all?  All in bright, fun colors for summer.  And of the scarves can dress up even a simple outfit of tee and jeans.  

 Frames?  We have lots of new "cottage look" frames.  Just add a picture of yourself, or better yet, the grandkids.  Sure to make Mom's day even more special.  

 We have books, beautiful costume jewelry, lovely hand-made jewelry, clothing, readers, decor and more.  

 And of course, our candles.  Still stumped for a gift idea?  We have gift certificates that can be used in the restaurant or gift shop.  Or bring Mom to lunch and let her pick out that special something.

Either way, we would love to see you and your Mom at The Dove's Nest!

Pantone's Color For Spring - BLUE!

What do you think of Pantone's favorite color for Spring?  Fresh blue and white is always a favorite around here.  Here, we've taken it from a Summer staple to a Winter favorite by adding touches of gray, brown and green.  

Frames, pottery, pillows, rugs and more.  Just a touch to add a bit of freshness for Spring.  

We've just restocked on our candles!  

Everyone I know is working on eating healthier.  But deprivation is not the key. A little dip mix will add some flavor to those cut up fresh veggies!  

Kitchen decor is french charming!  

And lots of lovelies in our English Cottage garden area!  The scent of lavender is perfect year round.  And great calming scent that is purported to help you get to sleep.  

Come see us.

Winter decor around the store

While I love the store in all of its "season's", I'm actually very fond of the look of it this time of the year.  Once the Christmas decor is cleared away and things are a bit more sparse, you can see more.

It always feels to me like you can see MORE of the store.  Less is more.  And the simplicity allows many of our products to be really seen and to shine. 

 I love these grey and white gingham dishes.  Perfect as a neutral, mixes great with vintage ironstone.  Pretty piled into a pine hutch, as we have here.

Another fresh pick for the the winter doldrums are these cute bottled sets.  Perfect on their own, a great mix of glass and antiqued tin.  A single flower or stem can add a touch of color.  Several gathered on a table make a great centerpiece.  There are three different sizes.

Gathered in a bowl, several nests can be effective as a floral arrangement or center piece.  A few twigs or stems can make a beautiful winter statement.

And of course, nests.  We do love nests.  And we are still happy in love with burlap.  Again, another great neutral this time of year that will make a great transition to Spring.  

So don't feel like there are no decorating possibilities for this time of year.  Embrace the clean, sparse look of your home.  Add a few neutral pieces and know that Spring is just around the corner!  

Tan Forsythia, nests and bits of silver make a great statement in your home for winter.

Beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

Elegant bedding

These new candles smell fantastic!

And if Juniper Thyme is not for you, then Orange and Clove is equally yummy and festive.

Our tree in the front of the store is a delight in red and white.

We loved these adorable wine bottle covers.

Red and white dishes…perfect for the holiday.

Playful elves have Santa's list at the ready.  

Time to think about the sleigh ride!

Cocoa's, cookies, hand soaps, tea towels and more!

These perfect little stocking stuffers smell wonderful!  And at $4.95 a bar, a great hostess gift.

Local 3rd Graders helped to fill our post office box with adorable envelopes addressed to the Big Guy himself

Each year, I think the store just can't look any prettier.  And this year is no exception.  The front of the store is awash in the traditional reds and greens of Christmas, one side elegant and one side very fun and aimed at the kids and those who're kids at heart.  

Come make it a part of your holiday tradition to shop and dine with us!

Lunch With Us and then Shop!

Our beautiful restaurant.  

Our Award winning cookbook.

Our line of jams, coffee, corn relish and other food items make great gifts.

Enjoy lunch with us and then shop and find something wonderful in our gift store.  

Frasier Fir by Thymes is a great scent for the holiday.

As is the wonderful Christmas fragrance of Fig and Grapefruit and Barr-Co.  

We just got in this gorgeous new line of silver kitchen utensils, platters, servers and more.  Beautiful pieces for yourself or for Christmas giving.

The center of the store is like a magical, woodland scene.  Browns, greens and silvers make a wonderful change from the usual red and green.  Not that we don't have red and green.

From wee frosted cabins, to silver glittered birds and antler horns, your tree can be full of woodland magic this year.  

But get here quick, the magic is going fast!
