I have to share this image first, it contains two of my favorite elements that I love..
old white vase and tattered books
Stellenbosch's most historic avenue is oak-lined Dorp Street. Almost the entire street is a national monument, flanked by lovely restored homes from every period of the town's history.
Dorp means 'town' in Afrikaans. Stroll along historic Dorp Street and take in the towering oak trees, traditional and modern cape architecture, restaurants, art and antique shopsThis is where you will find Linda's shop
NEST
Locals have had the privilege to know NEST for many years as a delightful shop where no one ever leaves empty handed. This ever inspiring shop has just opened it's doors in new premises where they now trade 7 days of the week.The new address is in a beautiful old building above MELISSA'S, next to the well known Oom Samie se winkel.(old fashioned trading store)I am happy to share with you the photographs that I took this morning..
We all know NEST is definitely the place to find the perfect cushion, sewn from old vintage fabrics and filled with down inners.
gorgeous handbags and overnight bags made from vintage Sanderson linen
Linda displays everything in a wonderful creative way.
I love how she has papered the back of these shelves with old black and white copies of botanical prints..
and this wall with old maps..
and the pillar behind this old hand painted
Chinese tea box with pretty little birds..
basket weave textures
a miniature enamel bath complete with little spout..
I imagine using it in a beach house bathroom filled with soaps..
blue for breakfast
happy glass ware ..
those old books again..
gift cards made from old script and vintage pics

Would loved to have come with you, I'd have bought the Quick cooker bowl!
Loved her array of pastel colour bowls.

Looks like a lovely store indeed! I'm with Sharon, that quick cooker bowl would've been on the top of my list.

What a fabulous tour! I could easily lose myself - not to mention lots of time - in Nest. The images of the street are lovely.
You live in such a beautiful place and how wonderful that a favorite shop now has extended hours. Looks like a fabulous picking ground, thank you for sharing with us.
