Nest Merch

A set of handsome gentry in Regency garb for adorning your bookplates, bullet journal, or character sheets. The backgrounds are in the jonquil and primrose shades of yellow that were so popular in 1820s Europe.

Once formal heraldry became a thing in the 12th century, the Knights of the Round Table got assigned coats of arms of their own. This charge belongs to Sir Kay, Arthur's much-maligned castellan: Azure, two keys erect with wards pierced with crosslets outward and upward argent, the sinister taller and with three annulets; below, three hamades sable. Translated from blazonry: On a field of blue, two silver keys with their upward-facing teeth detailed with crosses (the wearer's left is the bigger one and has a head detailed with triple rings). Below them are three black stripes.

Three dresses for the Regency heroine's morning. Perhaps this set is for Emma Woodhouse, Harriet Smith, and Jane Fairfax, or for three girls brought up at Mansfield Park? Yet the trio strikes me as a better fit for Catherine Morland and the two young ladies of her Bath acquaintance, Miss Thorpe and Miss Tilney.

A lonely pile of stones marks the place for a few humble offerings: a cross of reeds, feathers, berries, acorns, wolves' teeth, a stray chalice. Is it foretold that someone might pull the blade from the stone it seems to thrust right through?

Adopt wrinkly dogs!

An annoyed PSA from the person who's going to stop talking to you unless you pull the damn thing over your mouth and nose, please.

Once formal heraldry became a thing in the 12th century, the Knights of the Round Table got assigned coats of arms of their own. This one is Bedivere's, with a slight update that references his famous status as a pagan at court: Or, a gonfanon gules, cousu vert and on its chief a molet pierced vert. Translated from blazonry: On a field of gold, a three-part banner in red, outlined in green, with a pentacle that has a hole in it near the top.

A bold choice, in most families.

Why have a lawn that no one plays on? Unless your yard is literally a football field, just enough grass for the kids and pets to run on is plenty. Plant a garden! Be different! Have curb appeal! Overthrow the HOA! Save pollinators! Feed your people!

Direct your guests to your stash of hotel shampoos or your first-aid supplies... or let people at the office know which one is the candy drawer. The letters are negative space to help blend the label with its surroundings.

The quote is by the narrator, Merricat, in Shirley Jackson's "We Have Always Lived in the Castle," but I think it's even better out of context.

Classic portraits of a femme Holmes and Watson whisper unkind things about people who fail to wear masks.
