About Us

            Since John and Shari were newly married in the mid 1980’s, they dreamed of one day owning their own gift and home accessories store.  Many of their vacations throughout the years were spent visiting the local shops, learning what they liked, what worked, asking questions of the shop owners, and dreaming of the day when they would own a store similar to one of the ones they were visiting.  In September 2006, their life long dream came true, and the doors of Dove’s Nest: Gifts & Home Accessories were opened for the first time.

            John and Shari Gregory met in high school in Kettering, Ohio at the ages of 15 and 14.  After a couple of years of friendship, they began dating.  After graduating from high school, they both attended Miami University in Oxford, Ohio.  They got married while in college and went on to graduate together.  John got a BS degree in Science, while Shari got a BA degree in English: Creative Writing.  After graduation, John worked as a manager in a manufacturing facility.  This gained him valuable experience in what to do and what not to do as a manager.  However, he longed to start his own business to try his theories of management out. 

            Shari spent the years doing odd jobs and decorating their house and helping others decorate.  People began to suggest that Shari become an Interior Decorator for a living.  However, this wasn’t exactly what she wanted to do.  She knew that as an Interior Decorator, she might have to decorate in a way to please the client that she would find distasteful.  Having a store where she could offer beautiful things for the customer to decorate fit her plan much better.  One day, in fact, she was walking through her neighborhood, admiring the improvements neighbors had made to their homes and yards, when she began talking to God.  “Lord,” she said.  “I just love to take things that are broken, or dirty, or plain and make them into something beautiful.”

            She felt like He replied, “I know you do.  I like to do that too.  You got that from Me.”  Suddenly, she didn’t feel bad about this desire she had.  She realized it was a gift from God.  Not only did He do that with creation, but He did that with people too!  Several years went by, but Shari tucked that dream in the back of her heart for the future.

            In the late 1990’s, John and Shari started a financial business with a partner and his wife.  This business was very successful.  It grew to have over 140 employees.  However, in time, John and Shari once again longed to have their own business to manage as they had dreamed of.  In 2006, they sold their business to their partners, went on a month long trip to Europe where they again visited several shops including many Polish Pottery outlets and factories, came back and started work on what was to be their own business—Dove’s Nest—the gift and home accessories shop they had always dreamed of.

            It is John and Shari’s desire that everyone who comes to visit Dove’s Nest will experience the joy of decorating, the peaceful and friendly environment, and the beauty of God’s creation as well as the talents of many masterful artisans.  Dove’s Nest strives to carry unique, hard to find, quality giftware and home accessories that our customers will enjoy for many years to come.  We hope to help everyone create their own doves nest—a peaceful, beautiful, home to rest in.  May God bless all who enter.
