An adorable home decor and accessories store with a good cause

I was introduced to Nest a few weeks ago, and I finally got around to checking it out. Besides their products, the best thing about Nest is their mission:

"Nest is a nonprofit organization dedicated to changing the lives of women in developing countries. The mission of Nest is to support women artists and artisans in the developing world by helping them create sustainable entrepreneurial businesses. To do this, Nest provides micro-credit loans to be used for the purchase of the supplies and materials necessary to begin and/or maintain art or craft-based businesses."

I look forward to seeing what they have in the future as the companies grow! They also have a lot of cool, indie products by domestic designers.




Beautiful serving bowls from Mexico. The salsa bowls at the top were also featured in Domino.

Sweet little tea light holders






African baskets are always stunning

Pretty little tea towels.

I *LOVE* this bracelet. My sisters' pet name for me has always been Heart, so it's fitting. :)

A gorgeous cuff bracelet.

They also carry a lot of really pretty stationary

I always use handmade soaps - they are much nicer for your skin and last a really long time. Nest has a huge selection.
