A new addition . . .a lovely gift idea!

One of our most popular and radiant lines that we carry both online and in our store is Mariposa. They offer something for everyone and for every season. Their line is extensive and includes price points for all occasions.

Mariposa recently introduced a collection of notepaper holders that we're all excited about -- in fact I think half of us at the store have bought them for ourselves and/or for gifts already. We offer 4 styles adorned with the Fleur de Lis, Dragonfly, Pearl or Pineapple weight. Also available are a Pear (Jenny, our Store Manager ordered 2 of these -- they're great!) and a Golf Ball that we are happy to special order. The 4 we have are in stock now and available both in our store and online at $48.

These pieces make wonderful gifts, particularly for the person who has everything as they are both beautiful and useful. They are also great options for office, hostess and thank you gifts. We think you'll love them as much as we do!

One last thing to note, Mariposa's products are aluminum, made by artisans in Mexico and 100% recyclable. A gift you can really feel good about -- for yourself or someone special.

Lucas the Tin Dog - a favorite new find!

Today I met with one of our most favorite sales representatives and reviewed some of his new introductions for fall.

One item that I just had to get for the store was this whimsical tin dog, "Lucas." Not only is he fun and a little funky, he serves a purpose (which fulfills both of my feng shui requirements . . .either have to love it or it must serve a purpose). As a magazine holder, he would definitely make a statement in any family room, study or even powder room.

Lucas won't be arriving in our store until October but we can always place special orders to come sooner if you too find that you just have to have him in your home!

40% off all instock florals -- through 7/31!

Our online store is open!

We're excited to make our first announcement, on our blog, that our online store is open for business and we now have a large selection of items available to purchase online. Gifts are the focus of our website items for now with lots of wonderful ideas for weddings, babies and more. We have a few technical upgrades that will be made over the next few weeks and then we'll have a more formal announcement but customers have already begun shopping which has been great!
Our hope is that our website allows our current customers to shop from home and easily send special gifts to their friends and family around the country. We also look forward to now being able to introduce our store and our website to new customers from all over.

We hope everyone is enjoying a great summer! Please visit us at the store and of course, online at http://www.shopthenestegg.com/!

Save $50 on our Design Services!

From now through April 30th when you book an in-home consultation with our designer the charge for your first hour will be $75 . . . a $50 savings. We just sent out an email to our customers this morning so if you haven't yet signed up for our email list, here are the details!

Spruce up your home this spring and save! So often we hear that our customers need help choosing accessories, paint colors and lighting fixtures, determining the best layout for their room and deciding what size furniture their space can accommodate. Let our in-house ASID certified designer, Dana Keegan, help you with everything from the finishing touches to complete room makeovers.

How does it work?
Our designer will meet with you in your home to understand your project requirements, discuss your goals and the area(s) on which you'd like to focus.

What's the cost?
Our standard in-home consultation fee is $125 per hour (typically 1-2 hours) but when you schedule an appointment now through April 30th (to take place by May 31), the charge for your first hour will be $75 . . . a savings of $50! If you decide to utilize our services, Dana will generate a design "game plan" at $125/hour. The total price is determined by how much, or how little, help you need and will be approved by you before the process begins.

The best part?
When you work with our designer, you will be able to take advantage of our designer discount program where you'll receive 15% off of all regularly priced merchandise from The Nest Egg that is recommended to you by our designer. If you know there are items you are interested in purchasing, the 15% savings can easily balance out the design fees.

How do you sign up? Email or call today for more information or to schedule your in-home consultation. We know you'll be glad you did!
