Spring Has Sprung at The Nest Egg! New rugs, candles and more...

MARCH 2010

We traditionally think of taper candles as a staple for winter holidays, but customers love the beauty they bring to their table, particularly in spring. From EtAl Designs, these taper candles are designed using unusual materials, innovative sculpting techniques and the finest quality beeswax.

Angel Dear was introduced in our store late last year and we've been restocking every month. Exceptional softness is the cornerstone of the Angel Dear brand and every product upholds their commitment to beautiful quality, lasting value, and affordability. These blankies and rattles are a perfect way to celebrate the new little ones in your life!

Mark your calendar for our next Shop & Share day on May 4!

10% of total sales on Tuesday, May 4 will be donated to

Main Street Child Development Center in Fairfax, VA.

The mission of this wonderful organization is to provide a quality accredited early childhood learning program for children of limited income working families, ages 2-6, to grow and thrive in a nurturing environment.

Additionally, they work to enhance the quality of life for families through partnerships with community services agencies, and to provide educational opportunities and resources that strengthen literacy, parenting and the family.

News From Our Nest

New merchandise, trends, promotions and more!

Greetings!

It's official! Spring is here and it has certainly bloomed in our store as well. Take a look at all of our wonderful new things. It's time for spring cleaning, moving out the old and bringing in the new. We're excited to help you freshen up your home for the new season.

Company C Spring
Rug Collection Debuts

Twice a year Company C introduces new collections to their line and we love what they've added this season. We invite you to sit back and take a look at this beautiful new catalog filled with area rugs, bedding, pillows and linens.

Quality construction, craftsmanship and attention to detail make Company C products attractive, but also durable. Vibrant colors, patterns and styles help create a room like no other. Their motto is "colorful living" and they certainly inspire us to do so in our homes.

Rug samples can be checked out from our store to take home for color matching and most rugs are available to ship in under 4 weeks. Call or stop in for pricing and availability.

Spring is the season for bridal showers and weddings!

We have a terrific selection of options for all of your spring events and are happy to help you select something unique that is sure to be the talk of the party.

One of our favorite lines is Mariposa, which offers a timeless and classic collection of serving pieces and accessories suited for many tastes and styles. Mariposa is handmade by artisans of 100% sandcast, recycled aluminum. As a Mariposa key dealer, we offer a wide variety of items including cheese boards, bottle stoppers, bowls, spreaders, napkin boxes and much more. We're also happy to special order any piece from the line that we may not have in stock. Make your gift a memorable one!

Congratulations to Jeanette Stieringer!

To celebrate the launch of the new spring introductions from Sid Dickens, we put out a request in last month's newsletter for customers to show us how they've displayed Sid Dickens tiles in their homes. We received some beautiful images of collections on customer's walls and had a great time looking at the pictures (one collection featured over 50 tiles!). We have to say that the most unusual and creative display we found however was from Jeanette Stieringer. As shown here, Jeanette displays her tiles on the ledge behind her kitchen sink versus the traditional wall hangings. A unique display and a wonderful way to enjoy your tiles every day. Congratulations to Jeanette on winning one Sid Dickens tile of her choice!

The new spring collections are here from these wonderful lines:

* Aidan Gray Home With products that exude "European Grandeur", we're pleased to introduce a selection of beautifully crafted table lamps, candlesticks and furniture.

* Creative Candles Created with a blend of superior quality waxes, including beeswax, these candles enjoy a long burn time. They are unscented, and are virtually dripless and smokeless, making an elegant statement. Choose from our collection of classic tapers and 6" or 15" celebration candles.

* Table Topics To Go Our popular conversation starters are now also available in a travel size. 40 fun question cards for the road available in Kids, Road Trip and Wedding Shower editions.

Happy Spring!

All the best from our nest to yours,
