I love Craigs-list.

I just adore this cabinet, and how linens are displayed.
 Hello there! It's a gray day 
here on The Cape.  A great time to blog a sec. I will say the grass is such a gorgeous green from all the rain we have been having. 

I love craigs-list, don't you? What I really like is how shoppe owners {stage} their wares. So lovely, clever and inviting...


Closed door is neat looking and cute.  Easy cleaning too with high legs!  
Lastly, the chicken-coop wire, and the wreath....simple statements, but makes the piece.

I have found many a treasure on craigslist, for our {nest} here on Cape Cod.  I have also met some lovely folks thru CL but of course aways be careful and bring someone, a friend along. My hubby goes with me. He's a good egg like that. 

Have a great day today and may you ....
Nest in Peace,  Karen

Coastal nuggets to make a look.

Allow a picture be your color scheme.
How dreamy is this seaglass knob?  What a statement for coastal decor.
Look...wall paper to
complete a look. {Love it}

Clear waters!


A switch plate can
bring it all together.

I always say "add a little
bling". 

Look at this charming idea
with a bird bath, sea glass
from a craft store and a glass
top. 


I love simple touches that can make a look
come together.  I adore Cape Cod where I
and my hubby make our Nest, and so I love
the dreamy beachy, cottage coastal look.

Nest in peace....Karen

Has it really been that long? Hello dear friends!

Hello blog-land friends.  Hope everyone is well, safe and warm.  Here is our Cape Cod Nest drive way after "Juno" left The Cape.  About waist high.






So this is our little Harper.  We rescued her last April, when we put our beloved {Naydie} down.  Harper is the Bee's Knees.  Looking at "Dad" plowing, compliments from our awesome neighbors, they let hubby use their snow blower.
I just can not get enough of this precious little face.  Harper is a joy!
I love how Harper stands watch at her post.  This is her house, and she is the {dog of the house} now.  Look how high that snow is.  So thankful for a warm home, during this storm.  No power outages here and very few in our town.  Nantucket Island did loose power, they got pounded.  The Island is doing much better now.

I have not blogged in some time.  Why?  I'm not a hundred percent sure.  I am good, the kids are good.  Hubby is good.  I think I have allowed the "craziness", going on in our world get to me.  I was feeling like {why blog about home décor, or what my next "project" is or what's going on at A Cape Cod Nest}.  I really did think wow, this is meaningless compared to what is going on in different parts of the world.  A heaviness if you will filled my heart.

Well, I've given it to the Lord.  It's ok, God made me this way.  Pray, and keep praying for this world......then live!  Keep living, keep pressing on....keep in the faith.....knowing The Lord knows all things.  We are to keep living our lives......with grateful hearts.  There is love, joy and peace given from the Father above.  Pray for those suffering.  Thank Him for our freedoms.  Live, occupy, love, and have our being in Him  this day which He has made.

I'm busy with life.  {Feathering the Nest}  Enjoying planning a wedding with our oldest daughter.
No grand babies as of yet from the married son and daughter in law.  It's all good.

So dear friends I look forward to coming back to blogging.  I love looking at your blogs.  It's fun to catch up.

Blessings,

 
Karen

The Beloved Family pet is greatly missed.

This is our {beloved Naydie}  We had to put her down last April due to being an "ol girl" it was so hard to do and the pain I felt for days after was deep and severe.  It surprised how much it hurt letting her go.  Naydie was the family dog.  She was my constant when the {nest} started to empty itself.  Naydie was always there when each one of our kids left the nest.....and now she is gone.  Naydie was my girl. She is free of pain now, running, and chasing squirrels,


There is a new four legged child....of course she does not take Naydie's place.....Our lil Harper will make her own legacy with us at {a cape cod nest}.  Harper is a rescue dog like Naydie was.  She is a love, and very smart, a rascal.  We are missing our Naydia and our memories of her and the kids {when they were all young are sweet}.

Life continues on.....we are all well.....it's been a busy summer.  Weddings....graduations......and more weddings to come.    I thank the Lord for my many blessings!  Lord may your grace and mercy cover and go before those suffering this day in the Middle-East.
