The Nesting Spot

It’s never the wrong time of year to buy ornaments! Love marking different milestones with special handmade items. Saying farewell to these orders heading to the US and Australia.

I created a lovely vintage butterfly invitation suite to go with my prints. It would be great for a spring or summer party!

Happy Thanksgiving! Since we’re in Scotland and don’t have today off we won’t have time to celebrate until Sunday. But I’m excited about all the yummy food.
I’m so thankful for each of you who supports my small business by following me on here, sharing with your friends, and buying my products! Each sale means so much to me and my family!!! Thank you for shopping small!
Tomorrow through Monday I’ll be having a sale in my shop to say thanks and also so if you buy one of my o...rnaments you won’t be as miffed with me over slow shipping times!
This picture is two of the critters from my last pic before they started their journey to their new home.

Continuing on with my little parade of ornaments is my wise and maybe a bit cheeky owl. The wording can say what you like and there are 4 font options. So if you are celebrating Christmas in general, a new baby, an engagement, anniversary etc these custom ornaments are a perfect way to remember it! . . #thenestingspot #personalisedornaments #personalizedornaments #giftideas #handmadechristmas #owl #owlornament #babysfirstchristmas #etsyfinds #smallbusiness

Hope everyone had a fun 🎃 Halloween! We had a skeleton pirate, ghostbuster, and dragon this year. Thankfully the weather cooperated and was dry and not too freezing. And now I can share my ornaments with a bit less guilt since we’re in November now. . . #thenestingspot #llama #alpaca #personalisedgifts #personalizedgifts #ornament #handmade #etsyfinds #babysfirstchristmas #engagementornament #customornaments

It’s finally here!!! My new personalized flamingo ornament. I love it’s dangly legs. I had hoped to get it finished a month ago but life has been a bit hectic. Better late than never! I hate mentioning Christmas before Halloween even gets here but if you’ve been considering one of my ornaments and live outside the UK I strongly suggest you get it before mid November when the shipping times get 3-5 times as long. . . #flamingo #personalisedgift #personalisedchristmas #flamingochristmas #babysfirstchristmas #personalizedchristmasornament #etsyfinds #flamingobabyshower

One of my tooth fairy pillows with a variety of tiny handmade envelopes. On the back it is personalized however you’d like. This little guy can squeeze under a pillow, hang on the bedpost, or even sit next to a little fairy 🧚‍♀️ door! . . #thenestingspot #toothfairy #toothfairypillow #handmade #loosetooth #etsyfinds #personalizedgift #personalisedgift

One great thing about making your own sock animals is that you can make them look however you want! This little guy was made using up lots of sock 🧦 pieces I had leftover. He’s definitely not lacking in personality. You can find my very thorough, step by step pattern in my shop. Link in bio. It also shows you how to make a unicorn and horse. . . #sockzebra #sockanimal #etsyfinds #smallbusiness #handmadegift #uniquegifts #zebra #unicorn #horse #sewingpattern

Here’s another pretty bird all dressed up and ready for a classy event. I now have three birds in this collection...a swan, ostrich, and 🦚 peacock. They would be fun to hang as a group or by themselves. They are digital downloads so you can print it to the size you need. . . #thenestingspot #digitalart #etsyfind #ostrich #ostrichart #floral #whimsicalart #nurseryart #gallerywallart #printableart

I know it’s too early to be mentioning Christmas but I’ve had quite a few people on their A game lately who are planning ahead and getting their ornaments ordered. Since moving to Scotland 4 years ago I have learned that even though the Royal Mail and USPS say shipping only takes a week or two even during the holiday season that in reality it is very unpredictable and can take up to 5 weeks. Right now it usually takes about a week and a half so if you live outside the UK and it’s at all possible I would order before mid November.

Lots of cutting and folding happens before the glueing and using of these fun mini envelopes. They make great holders for teeth 🦷 and even tiny letters from the tooth fairy. I have so many different pretty papers! You can find them and tooth fairy pillows in my shop.

Sending out a fun version of my llama ornament. I love how they can be customized for any occasion.

I’ve been having a lot of fun playing around with making “digital collages“ lately. I love this whimsical floral swan. She looks ready for a fancy garden party. She would look so pretty in a gallery wall or in a vintage inspired room. Print is now available in my shop. . . #thenestingspot #swanart #printableart #childrensroomart #whimsicalart #vintagegarden #swan #whimsy #etsy

I just released this new alphabet art print for nurseries and children’s rooms. It’s exploding with gorgeous vintage butterflies and leaves. It is an instant download so you can print it yourself or get it printed at your favorite print shop. I can also make a custom version if you’d like the wording to be different(contact me for that).

Love how @christa.m.cole used my whale favor tags. Such a clever idea to give bath salts as favors at an under the sea themed baby shower. #printablebabyshower #whalebabyshower #thenestingspot #undertheseaparty #whaleparty #birthdaypartyfavors #babyshowerfavors #babyshower
