Why “The Magpies' Nest”

Collectors, chatterboxes, and friends who stick together.

Two friends met at the Terre Haute Farmers Market. One wanted a bookstore, the other a plant shop. Coffee became the reason to stop in every day, and in June 2024 the Nest opened in 12 Points.

“Legend has it that magpies collect shiny things. They're also known for being quite chatty and staying in familiar groups.”Tribune-Star · June 2024

The idea was to stretch a living room into a public space: somewhere to find your people and build a village of folks who look out for each other.
