It started with this darling necklace. Andrea Savar, proprietress of
The Curious Nest in Seattle, posted this limited edition necklace as a fundraiser for Japan on her blog. Loved the cherry blossom bling and the worthy cause...so Friday, Ophelia and I took a drive to her shop. Oh my goodness. I have always loved Andrea and her vintage French pretties and she has outdone herself with this cozy 'nest' of a shop. It is filled with vintage French goodness along with Andrea's own jewerly line,
Debbie Savar's (her mom) original paintings and various other local artist's work. It is a happy place with something for everyone.

| One of Debbie's paintings...the detail and colors are beautiful. |
Beads, baubles, boxes! Paper, pillows, paintings!
Andrea also carries
The Salvage Studio book...so I autographed all she had...fun! And then I saw goodies by Laurie Cinotto of
LaLaLaurie and
Hazel's Vintage Pretties sachets from Katie Galbraith. It was like attending a party and some unexpected friends showed up.

Colorful nests filled with found objects. |

And I loved these colorful creations from
Kim Groff-Harrington.
 |
| Some vintage jewelry pieces from Miriam Haskell and some glass goodies. |
And of course I had to pick up some treasures. Some will be used for my
May Day Charm. I haven't decided what yet!
Beautiful birdcages filled to the brim!

| It is hard to take a photo of a window display...but look at all the goodness inside! |
Thank you Andrea, for your warm greeting, your beautiful Cherry Blossom Necklace fundraiser and creating a cozy 'nest' for us to visit!
