I’m so excited to get to host the third annual Nest Fest on our property again this year!

This year is going to be the biggest Nest Fest yet with room for more vendors and a very special surprise.

Here are some images from Nest Fest Past for you to enjoy. Tickets will go on sale in September.

We love being able to use this old sawmill property for something fun and pretty! After writing in this online space for 10 years, it’s a dream to get to host a get-together for you! This is how I offer hospitality to you, the Nesting Place community. It’s imperfect, inspiring and warm and welcoming.

I asked Barrie to capture the day in photos and she did a great job. Here are a million photos from Nest Fest 2016 and 2017 because I love them all–we had 50 vendors, 5 different types of musicians (see them all here) and perfect weather.

I can’t thank you all enough for coming out–from Florida, Michigan, Texas, Illinois, even–CALIFORNIA! What in the world?! All the way to little Midland, North Carolina! It was SUCH a joy, a huge amount of work, and a pleasure to get to meet some of you who have been reading along here on our pretty little corner of the internet!

I could look at those photos all day! I cannot believe so many of you came!

PS, every year we feature some of my favorite authors.

See our 2017 authors and vendors here.

As usual, we’ll only have 1000 tickets available, thanks to our permit. And as usual, we expect them to sell out. Tickets go on sale in September.
