Inspired by hands-on experiences from fake food workshops in Japan to leather crafting in Taiwan, Tiffany created The Creative Nest as a fun, low-pressure space for people to try something new. Featuring interactive stations, The Creative Nest brings DIY joy to parties, markets, and events — no experience required, just a love for getting a little crafty. <img src="https://img.evbuc.com/https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.evbuc.com%2Fimages%2F1161784463%2F2312721413293%2F1%2Foriginal.20251024-165354?h=740&amp;w=1200&amp;auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;q=75&amp;sharp=10&amp;s=3a7ba81d622b2a24897c890ff1714344"> ABOUT KEEPER A full service old-school style embroidery shop and an event studio specializing in garment customization. The union of Boston based chainstitchers, Amelia Fitch and Sam Lee, use vintage hand-guided chainstitch machines to decorate garments, accessories and more.

With a background in spoken word and a passion for turning emotions into tangible keepsakes, Iman creates moments of genuine connection—where guests often laugh, cry, and leave with a poem they’ll treasure. A multidisciplinary artist and chef, Iman recently relocated from Brooklyn to Boston and brings a handmade, heartfelt touch to every event. <img src="https://img.evbuc.com/https%3A%2F%2Fcdn.evbuc.com%2Fimages%2F1171507415%2F2312721413293%2F1%2Foriginal.20251121-170854?h=740&amp;w=1200&amp;auto=format%2Ccompress&amp;q=75&amp;sharp=10&amp;s=145efe954f72e2caa53076451c5b5c24">
