We’ve narrowed it down…

After reviewing nearly 600 submissions for our Fall/Winter 2026 Artist Series, we’ve selected two final directions — and I would love to hear which one speaks to you most.

Each of these designs brings something so special to the table:
A — Daisy Days & Wildflower Trellis — soft, romantic, and inspired by nature’s quiet beauty 
B — Toile & Tale — timeless, story-driven, and rooted in classic pattern design

Both have been thoughtfully mocked up on our bread bags and bowl covers to help bring them to life ✨

If you had to choose…
which one would you most love to have in your kitchen?

👇 Comment A or B below
(and tell me why if you feel inspired — I love reading your thoughts)

🗓 Voting will be open through Sunday night

Your input means so much as we move into this next chapter.

———

And to every artist who submitted… thank you!

We were truly blown away by the talent, creativity, and heart shared with us.

Please don’t be discouraged — this was an incredibly difficult decision, and we’ve also created a list of artists we’d love to stay connected with for future collections, including Spring/Summer 2027 ✨

So you might be hearing from us in the near future.

With so much gratitude,
Brandie

My first attempt at a sourdough bunny… 🐰

and honestly… she’s a little wonky 😄

Her tail fell off.�
Her shape isn’t perfect.�
But I still love her.

Because that’s kind of the magic of sourdough, right?

You can follow all the steps, do everything “right”…�
and the dough still has a mind of its own.

And somewhere along the way, you realize it’s not really about perfection —�
it’s about the process, the creativity, and those little moments in the kitchen that just feel good 💛

If you want to try making your own bunny, I followed a recipe from .elmss (it’s saved in this post 🐰)

Pro tip (learned the hard way):�Use a toothpick to secure the tail before baking 😅�
Trust me on this one.

If you want to see the full process (and my bunny tail fail lol), it’s all here in the reel ✨

Happy Easter 💕
�I hope your day is filled with good food, sweet moments, and maybe a little time in the kitchen.
Have you ever had a sourdough “fail” that turned out kind of perfect anyway? 😄 Lmk below👇🏼

Spring always feels like a reset 🌸

Lately I’ve been making small changes in our kitchen — choosing things that feel a little more intentional, a little more aligned.

Simple swaps. Slower moments. Less plastic, more care.

To celebrate the season, our Spring Sale is live (March 25–31):
• Beeswax Bread Wraps — 40% off
• Bread Bags + Bowl Covers — 20% off

If you’ve been thinking about making the switch, this is the time 💛💚💗

Still reflecting on our very first Inspired Home Show… and what an incredible experience it was.

Of course it was amazing meeting new customers, buyers, and people discovering Nectar & Nest for the first time.

But one of the most meaningful parts of the show was something I didn’t expect.

The friendships and connections we made with the other entrepreneurs around us.

So many passionate founders building beautiful things, sharing stories, encouraging each other, and cheering each other on.

It reminded me why I started Nectar & Nest in the first place — to be part of a community of makers who care deeply about what they create and how they bring it into the world.

To everyone who stopped by our booth, shared a conversation, or welcomed us so warmly at our very first show…

Thank you. Truly.

This experience made our first show even more special and memorable than I could have imagined.

Grateful for this community and excited for what’s ahead. 💛

Day 1 at the Inspired Home Show… and my heart is so full.

Today we officially revealed the Nectar & Nest booth for the very first time, and seeing our little brand come to life here has been such a surreal moment.

What started as a simple idea — creating beautiful, sustainable ways to care for the bread we bake and share — is now standing here on this show floor surrounded by so many incredible brands and makers.

I’m so grateful for everyone who stopped by today to say hello, share your baking stories, and learn about our bread bags and bowl covers. Those conversations truly mean the world to me.

This community of bakers, makers, and people who care about thoughtful design and sustainability is the reason Nectar & Nest exists.

If you’re at the show this week, we would love to meet you.
Come visit us in the Debut Pavilion — Booth D11.

Grateful for this moment and excited for the days ahead. 🤍

Tomorrow, Nectar & Nest officially steps onto the floor at the Inspired Home Show… and it still feels a little surreal.

What started as a simple idea — creating beautiful, sustainable ways to care for the bread we bake and share — has grown into something so much bigger than I ever imagined.

This is our very first trade show, and tonight as we walk through the halls of the show venue, I’m feeling equal parts excitement, nerves, and so much gratitude.

Grateful for every baker who trusted our bread bags.
Every message, review, and photo you’ve shared.
And this incredible community of modern makers who care about thoughtful design and sustainability as much as we do.

Tomorrow we open the doors… and I can’t wait to reveal our booth.

If you’re attending the show this week, come say hello — we’re in the Debut Pavilion, Booth D11.

I’d love to meet you in person.

I just wanted to pause and say thank you 🧡

We’ve received nearly 600 submissions for our Fall/Winter 2026 Artist Series… and I’m honestly blown away.

The talent. The heart. The thoughtfulness behind every portfolio.

We’re about halfway through reviewing everything, and this process means so much to me because we’re not just choosing a pattern — we’re choosing a creative partner for the next chapter of Nectar & Nest.

If you’ve submitted, thank you for your patience while we carefully go through each one. We truly want to give every artist the time and attention they deserve.

Finalists coming soon ✨
And I can’t wait to bring you into the process along the way.

With so much gratitude,
Brandie 💛

Good things take time.

So does sourdough. So does living well. 🤍

Here’s to slower mornings, mindful choices, and caring for what we already have—one loaf at a time.

✨ Artist Open Call ✨

One of the most meaningful parts of Nectar & Nest has been collaborating with independent artists and bringing their work into everyday rituals — especially in the kitchen.

Today, I’m so excited to share submissions are open for our Fall/Winter 2026 Artist Series Bread Baker Set 🤍

This is a paid licensing collaboration, and the selected artist’s work will be featured on our beeswax bread bag and matching bowl cover — with artist credit and storytelling woven throughout.

If your art is inspired by nature, slow living, warmth, and thoughtful design, I would love to see your work.

🗓 Submissions close: Feb 15

👉 Apply via the link in our bio

And if you know an artist who’d be a beautiful fit, please share this with them ✨
