One
of my favorite
things to do is to shop
antique malls and estate sales for things to decorate my cottage home.
Not long after I moved to the Florence area, I found a great black
trunk at a tag sale. It was the perfect prop for the monthly Trunk Show
that we feature at The Nest. Each month a new artist comes
in,
decorates the trunk to show off their creations and offers our
customers a chance to buy something very unique!

Melonie Rollin
"Irene's Child"
I
came in from swimming to write a bit about myself and my art.
Swimming is my first passion, and making things in my "art room" is my
therapy. My Aunt Greta introduced my to beading when I was 5
and I have been making jewelry with beads and other items ever
since. A few years ago I started working with a local
fabulous artist, Tchanan Ross. Her medium is copper, brass,
and silver, check her out at Moonfirejewelry.com.
That led me down a new creative outlet, hammering my frustrations out
on this malleable element and creating whimsical earrings, pendants,
and even tiaras!
I am and artist that lives in Oregon. I thrive in the
outdoors, I keep a garden, raising two beautiful children, and live
simply...... sometimes!
