Our Story

The T.L.C Nest was born from family, creativity, and community.

We are a family-operated business, built on love, connection, and a passion for handmade and local treasures. Each letter in T.L.C represents a special family member, making the name uniquely ours.

“Nest” reflects our commitment to community — just like a bird gathering items from all over to create a home, The Nest brings together local artisans, makers, and community members, combining their crafts, creations, and creativity into one welcoming space.


At The T.L.C Nest, you’ll find more than just gifts — you’ll discover a place where family, community, and creativity come together.

🌱 Young Entrepreneurs at The T.L.C Nest 🌱

We love supporting the next generation of makers and can’t wait to see what they create!

As a homeschool family, we believe in giving children the opportunity to explore their interests, build confidence, and try new things. At The T.L.C Nest, we proudly offer a dedicated section for young entrepreneurs to display and sell their creations.


This program allows school-aged children to:

• Express their creativity

• Learn basic finances and money management

• Gain hands-on experience with marketing

• Understand the value of their hard work

Online Ordering

As a makers market featuring numerous independent vendors, we’re unable to offer returns or exchanges. Each item is handmade and brought in by individual makers, so all sales are final.

Thank you for understanding and supporting small creators!
