And once you've seen every single thing, you go back through again to make sure. It is the loveliest store I've ever been in and is chock full of jewelry, stationery, home decor, gifts of every sort, and the sweetest owner you'll have the privilege to meet! read more

Nesting has never failed to deliver top notch customer service and amazing product selection, priced at a great value, in all my years of coming here. From books to jewelry, to vintage fashion pieces and children's toys, this store has it all! This small business is really unique, and it really speaks to what makes unique, independent businesses so special and important, because of the product diversity and quality. Middlesex Ma residents could not possibly ask for a better gift shop! Everyone should visit here once in their lives, I really believe that. It's a treasure chest of affordable, impressive and high quality gems. You truly never know what you might find here, but trust me, you will never want to leave empty handed. read more

A magical shop, so artfully and beautifully done. The visitors to Concord must see the history snd autumn leaves. And they must come here. read more

Nesting - Antiques Near Me - Concord, Massachusetts

What a fabulous "little" shop-though not so little once you wander around-there are 3 small rooms off the larger main room. Plan a week or so if you wish to see everything in this lovely shop. There is everything from furniture, vases, baby & child items, pet gear, jewelry, cards, soaps, cards & that's just in the first 3 rooms. And while you shop, you can enjoy a cup of Goldfish crackers. Inventory changes daily so if you see if buy it & come back regularly. read more

Really cute local shop. Based on their website, I thought their selection would be pretty limited but the store is packed with goodies. Given it's the holiday season the store was basically transformed into a winter wonderland. Yes, the products are expensive but I would rather support a local business that has quality products rather than buy cheap ornaments off of Amazon. It's a really quaint shop, and the shopkeeper was friendly. read more

Christmas at Nesting 2021 The staircase and landing were filled with winter greens. Walking through Nesting is like being on a mini-vacation and is a feast for the senses. Every surface, corner, top to bottom was carefully prepared for this beautiful season of hope. Nesting caused me to stop and really enjoy and appreciate this gem of a shop! What a great find! I look forward to returning! read more

A snap shot... I just spent over $60 on bath products for a friend who is installing a new bathroom As I descended the stairs from Nesting it occurred to me that I should check to ensure that there was a tub in which to use a $32 bubble bath Quick call to establish no tub I literally turned on my heels and walked back up the stairs where MINUTES before I had made the purchase I explained I needed something shower friendly and that I would like to make a switch No returns and no exchanges (and apparently no discretion) Despite its charming(albeit mildly pretentious) ambiance- I will not be returning read more

Thankfully the BF decided to grab a coffee in the shop downstairs. If he hadn't, I might not even have paid much attention to the staircase on the side. While he grabbed his coffee, I climbed up and took a peek. What a peek it was. Gorgeously displayed vintage and decorator items, a real visual treat. I love poking and browsing so had fun going from room to room checking out all the treasures. Thank goodness I left the credit card at home or I might have bought out the store. Definitely worth a stop when visiting Concord. read more

The owner of this store is an interior designer, and it shows: Nesting is very sumptuously and seductively decorated, packed to the gills with old and new found objects. Much of it reflects the owner's interest in natural history and curiosity cabinets, an aesthetic which I definitely appreciate. The store is beautiful as a whole, but once I start narrowing my focus to individual objects, I start to lose interest. My biggest complaint is that most of the items aren't true antiques: They're antiques that have been altered in some way or they're new items made to look antique. Another person may not care, but for the money, I'd rather have the real thing. I'm often tempted to buy a fossil, deer skull, or mounted insect, but my better judgement triumphs and points me towards less expensive options on ebay! Nevertheless, I always enjoy stopping in when I visit Concord and sometimes find something interesting for my collection of curiosities. read more

New, old, new masquerading as old? Vintage, antique? I'm hard pressed to label this store beyond saying it is a truly lovely timesuck. Packed to the French Provincial gills with books, gifts, curiosities, and a plethora of objets d'art. Nesting is perched above the Main Street Market & Cafe and offers room after charming room filled with treasures bound to keep you browsing. The avian theme permeates with hints of Robin's Egg blue, antique birdcages, and decorative birdnests nestled in with the rest of the shop. Portlandia told us to put a bird on it, and they listened. It was somewhere I could (and did) easily kill a substantial chunk of time poking through every nook and cranny, sorting through vintage maps, and taking in the multitude of knickknacks lining the walls, tables and floor. I loved looking through antique sheet music, recipes and postcards. Probably my favorite part was when I found a stack of actual love letters, bundled in their original envelopes- complete with newspaper clippings and photos. I found a quiet corner and poured through the sloping cursive missives between a young couple in the 1930's, feeling engrossed but guilty to have access to something so private. I'm sad to say in the age of the internet I've received only a few handwritten love letters that weren't penned at the bottom of a Hallmark card-- and I can't imagine that 50 years from now the next generations will get the same voyeuristic charge if they clicked through the text message exchange between me and my boo. Perfect for gifts, home decor or a guilty pleasure afternoon of poking around in other people's loves stories. read more

Nesting is such an adorable store. Unique items from soap, towels, candles and tea towels to clothes, old fashion traffic lights and Taxidermy. What a fun place to explore. Wendi, the owner is so nice as well as her staff Bonnie and Deanna. read more

I cannot give enough stars to this magical shop nested so appropriately into the loft space. Wendy's shop has more personality and spirit than any shop I've ever been in. My mother and father are both artists, so I've grown up enchanted with wondrous atmospheres rich with details and intricacies... When my mom raved to my family and said we must check out Nesting, it's safe to say not only was I not disappointed, but rather I was blown away!!! It was better than I could've imagined. In college I created a giant installation made of 2,000+ keys. When I visited nesting, Wendy, the amazing owner offered to lend me all of the keys she had (over 200 of them! All vintage and unique) Naturally, being a college kid it took some time for me to organize myself and get them back to her. 2 years later I showed up with the keys and was met by the warmest welcome and desire to hear all about how the installation went. Needless to say, though I live in Austin, TX now, EVERY year when I am home for the holidays my family and I make a point to go and experience the sensational world Wendy has concocted in her welcoming nest in Concord :) Thank you Wendy for bringing us your magic year round and bringing it special luster over the holidays! read more

Whenever I need a brain massage, I go to Nesting. One of my favorites. Love to look, love to touch, love to think about all of the items. Really nicely curated shop. They have special things and make everything feel like it is coming from a special place. It is. read more

Poor customer service and Concord snobbery abound. Overpriced knick knacks and crowded layout. Plenty of other shops in town with genuine artisan goods and welcome service. read more

The companionable Trixy climbed the stairs to this antique shop one Sunday afternoon so I followed. I found her wandering glassy-eyed in a number of attractively furnished rooms packed with feathers, etched mirrors, bird related ephemera, antique pen nibs, Victorian prints, boxes of beverage thermometers - you name it - it was on display. An Enya-like dirge thrummed over cunningly-concealed stereo speakers. Trixy displayed none of the usual effusive clucking and I wondered if the hypnotic sound track had done its work. "No" she reported, perfectly lucid. "It's not advisable to get me in a trance. If I don't cluck, I don't buy". read more

This store was so cute and welcoming. Seriously it had so much cool stuff. Girl overall but even my dad wanted to come back here twice. Jewelry, cards, all kinds of little gift things. But all very curated. Had a shabby chic, neutral tones feel. Free goldfish cracker jar and sweet shop dog! read more

What a shop! They had the most unique items and the shop was beautifully maintained. We spent a good amount of time looking at all the items here, PLEASE make it a must to go into every room and see every piece....what a great place! read more

This is so magical I wanted to cry. They sell EVERYTHING here and I could spend hours upon hours in this quaint little shop. My boyfriend and I stumbled upon it completely by chance and I wanted to take the whole shop home or just move in myself. From beautiful little cards for every occasion to soaps and perfumes to woolly scarves and mittens to even taxidermy and porcupine quills, this store is FULL of wonders so even though, yes it can be quite pricey, I PROMISE you that it is worth a look. read more

This shop is adorable and full of the cutest antiques, jewellery and home decor available! The things in the shop are obviously hand picked and I think reasonably priced. I bought the cutest antique salt and pepper shakers there. The service is warm and friendly. If I'm ever back in this area I absolutely be stopping back by! read more

Love this store. I get lost in it. It's more of a museum of vintage treasures for me, more than a place I would shop at. (I would if I could afford 300 dollar opera glasses). Sometimes I pick up some nice trinkets here and there, and find inspiration. I love getting lost in it. I hope nesting stays for a long time. read more

A wonderful eclectic mix of new and old. A store with rooms to be explored and treasures to be found. A bit of old Europe transported to Concord. The owners and staff are always friendly and welcoming. At the Holidays they have a wonderful open house. It's hard to chance upon a wonderfully creative store with unique gifts and that is exactly what Nesting is. This store is always a must go to when I'm in Concord. read more

Just got back from "Nesting On Main's" Christmas open house and once again it did not disappoint. There were fascinating objects and vignettes every where one looked along with some very good Christmas decor and ornament's. There are gifts for everyone in a variety of price points from $1 on up. Wonderful creative items to put on the top of presents or tuck in stockings. It is evident the hard work and love the women that own this store put into it. It is forever evolving but keeps the nature theme always in the forefront. I love it because you can find wonderful antiques and very good contemporary items too. Most shops it is either one or the other and I feel it takes both to make an interesting home. Most definitely worth your time to take a look. Plus it has an adorable cafe downstairs for lunch. I've been to the places other reviewers have suggested and they just don't compare. read more

I live in the area and always took out-of-town guests to Nesting. My fan-status ended this June when I decided to buy end-of-the-year teacher gifts there. I was buying for 5 teachers and spent over $200. I was having a lovely conversation with the clerk when she began packing up my order. I said all the tissue wasn't necessary but could I please have 4 extra tiny bags. She said she'd have to charge me. Sorry, Nesting - that's a dealbreaker. The total of my purchase should've been enough to break the rule. I left bitter and glad I wouldn't be advertising a place (the bags are stamped) with such poor service to my children's teachers. I also wondered if making 5 separate transactions with my credit card would've been wiser (thus allowing me the necessary bags). read more

I have no idea what some of these other shoppers are talking about, but this shop is wonderful! Great items, interesting selections, good prices and displayed as artfully and beautifully as it gets! Do yourself a favor and allow yourself to get "lost" in these great objects: found, repurposed in some cases, and arranged with care and attention. I'm a fan -- and I'm a fellow antiques dealer, not easy to please! The women who own and run this store are friendly, informed, helpful and all around pleasant! It's a destination for me -- I get inspired every time I visit! read more

I live in Atlanta, and each time I make a trip to visit family in the Boston area, I make a point to stop in to visit Nesting on Main. The owner has a wonderful eye for design, and hours can be spent exploring the artful and curious items she has curated. Beautiful and interesting home decor, jewelry, and books are packed into this wonderful little shop, and I always find a volume or two that I can't live without. To make it even better, the shop owner is dog friendly, and if you're lucky, you might meet Willow, a friendly lab, if she's not out on her play date! read more

Tried to spend $70 here on small business Saturday for some Xmas gifts and they couldn't spare 3x gift bags, wanted to charge for them. Then they were rude, ended up walking out. Don't waste your time, no small store customer service here. read more

This is a must visit for anyone wanting a variety of eye catching displays, unusual jewelry and a beak from reality. Love this store. It is completely different every time I go in. Bring your credit card! read more
