Hello Lovely,
I’m so glad you’re here!
Welcome to my boutique, designed to be both a fun escape and a fulfilling shopping experience.
Love supporting women-owned small businesses? You're in the right place!
We proudly feature a curated selection of hand-crafted goods created by talented women artisans across the United States. Supporting small, women-owned businesses is a core value here—and it shows in every piece we offer.

You can also jump straight there by clicking the Coffee Mug image (artwork designed by yours truly) on the Home Page. Thank you for shopping with heart and purpose!
While not every item I carry is hand-made, I intentionally steer clear of big-name brands. Every dollar you spend here supports everyday people—independent makers, small-scale suppliers, and women building something of their own.

All About Me
Hi! So… here’s the deal. Even though this is a faceless online boutique, I figured it’s only fair you get to know a little bit about the person running the show behind the scenes. Spoiler alert: it’s me. Hi. 👋
I grew up on the West Coast (still here, actually) and after graduating from one of those fancy universities that people name-drop at dinner parties, I have spent over 15 years hustling in a super competitive industry. It is challenging, rewarding, exhausting… all of it. But eventually, I wanted something that felt more personal. More me.
So I started Lustre Nest HQ.
I built this boutique on nights and weekends (and during a few lunch breaks I probably shouldn’t mention), all while keeping my full-time job. Why? To maintain access to affordable healthcare. That’s especially important to me, as I manage several chronic health conditions, including endometriosis, adenomyosis, and PCOS.
So yeah, like a lot of women, I juggle a lot.
I’m also a caregiver to my amazing mom, who lives with a chronic illness too. She raised me with unwavering strength and grace, and now it’s my turn to show up for her the same way. That part of my life keeps me grounded but mostly just grateful that I get to see her on a daily basis. She still does a lot to support me too. She even helped me write this. Hi, Mom!!! 👋
There’s more to the story (isn’t there always?), but this is what I feel good sharing for now.
My goal these days? It’s simple: pay off debt, build something stable, and eventually give back in a bigger way.
One step at a time.
Thanks for being here. Seriously. Your support doesn’t just keep a small business going, it keeps a whole human going, too.
With love and probably coffee,
The Woman Behind Lustre Nest
