Mommy & Me

Mommy & Me
Look how tall we are!

Welcome to my blog!

Hello and welcome to my blog! For those of you who haven't met me yet, my name is Billy Elliott and my Mommy runs the store. I love being able to come to work with her every day! I like to take naps while she is working, but my favorite thing is greeting customers! I'm so happy to be at Nesting, because I love people, especially babies and children.

I thought it would be a good idea for me to keep you posted on our store news, including new products, announcements, and fun stuff! I will have to add blogger to my list of titles, which include mascot, assistant manager, and design assistant. I look forward to meeting you when you visit the store!

Charlotte Shop Dog!


I am so very honored to be recognized as one of Charlotte's best known shop dogs in the June issue of Charlotte Magazine!! My Mommy is so proud of me, and I got to have my very own photo shoot. I chose to pose in my favorite chair, which happens to be named after my Daddy! It is called the Parker chair, by Jennifer Delonge, and it is a child-sized wing chair. 

Thanks to all of my friends (big and small) and fans that helped make this possible! I will be happy to sign my "pawtograph" for you anytime...;)

Best of the Best again!


We are very honored to win a BOB award from Charlotte magazine for a second consecutive year. They have awarded us for being the best baby & children's shop in Charlotte! Here is what they had to say about us:

"With elegant cribs, upholstered rockers, organic baby bedding, knock-out diaper bags, expert interior-design service, and a resident Yorkie who greets you, tail wagging, at the door, it's no surprise that Nesting continues to be a must-go destination for precious preggies, new moms, cool aunts, and doting grandparents. The store feathered its nest even more fabulously this year by bringing in luxury linens and bassinets from Lulla Smith; exclusive, custom, handmade jewelry by Heather Moore; and handmade stuffed animals from French company Moncalin."

Billy's Bugaboo Bee Adventures!


Well, my Mom thought it would be a good idea to test drive the Bugaboo Bee with me, and how could I resist?! Being pushed around in comfortable luxury, going wherever Mommy goes...let me tell you, I have it rough. My Mom was impressed with the ease of use-getting it in and out of the car, folding, and the smooth manuevering. We went to one of our favorite places, Nordstrom, where people know me by name and loved my ride! (Of course we spent a bit more time in the shoe department than I would have liked, but Mommy loves her shoes!) Overall, the Bee passed the test with flying colors! Come in and see for yourself how wonderful and practical it is, and check out www.bugaboo.com for more details.

Maybe there will be more Billy Bee Adventures to come...I can dream. =)

Valentine's Day is around the corner...


Even though I cannot enjoy the chocolate and candy delights that you might, I do love a fun store display! Amber Hagen makes the greatest cotton/cashmere sweaters and blankets that are reversible! I personally wish the "I love Mommy" sweater came in my size. Stop by the store and see all the fun Valentine's Day items we have to offer! The big pink fuzzy dogs are especially cuddly...
