Nell Hill's Dish Display

I was lucky enough to go on a recent vacation

with my husband to Kansas City.

He got to tour the Harley Davidson Plant

and I got to go shopping at Nell Hill's 2 stores!

I have broken down my pictures into 

a few posts -this one is about dish displays.

 For those of you that don't know Nell Hills is a home decor, interior design, entertaining store

that originated in Atchinson and now has a 2nd store in Kansas City.

It's wall to wall eye candy for the dish, textile, decor lover.

 I thought it was so interesting how all of the dishes were

displayed in different cabinets, hutches and cupboards.

 If you are a dish lover like me you are always looking

for ways to change up your china cabinet and shelves.

 Each room seems to have a them of color or patter.

See below all the white and yellow theme.

 Most was decorated for Christmas

they had just hosted their holiday event the 

weekend prior to our visit.

 Love the green and white in the white

cabinet, which would look great anytime of year.

 I also loved the white owl

peaking out from the top of the black 

rounded hutch.

Next I will post more about the store and holiday decor,

then on Thursday some of the tabletops for Christmas!

White Rabbit Cottage

You may remember that over the Labor Day

weekend, Miss B and I went on a 

Southern Shopping Tour.

Well that seems like a long time ago, 

but I am finally getting around to sharing the 

Atlanta portion of that trip.

We visited several shops in the Atlanta area

recommended by Susan at Between Naps on the Porch.

I knew they would all be fabulous, because

Susan has great taste.

The first was White Rabbit Cottage in Marietta GA.

 I have used some of their holiday pictures from

their Facebook page here to

show you a tiny bit of their holiday selection.

All the non-holiday pictures were from my visit.

 Grab a cup of tea and get ready for some shopping!

 The store, which is actually 2 buildings,

is a delightful mix of furniture,

home goods and accessories.

 Allow for plenty of time to shop

when visiting!

 Wonderful accents and pillows!

 I got great ideas for accessory placement,

which is often hard to style.

 Wonderful vignettes of what I would 

call elegant country style.

 Things for the pet lover!

 Seasonal decor 

(there was more autumn at that time

but I did not post most of those pictures)

 Tons of dishes, napkins and table jewelry!

 White Rabbits (of course)

 Lots of gift items, perfect for holiday or bridal

birthday or thank you presents.

 The staff was friendly and helpful.

The store was such a delight to visit.

And finally a special greenhouse/conservatory

full of gardening accessories!

I hope you enjoyed the shopping ~please visit their store

if you are ever in the Atlanta area.

I will post more from our Atlanta visit soon.

Bee Grateful

Today has been a really hectic day~

lots going on with work &

my three college classes are really in overload.

 So I'm taking a little fireside break,

to relax a moment and 

celebrate the blessings~

 Moments of gratitude can wipe away

stress and anxiety as I reflect and bee grateful

 I am grateful for many things ~

large blessing like family and friends~

 and small gifts like fireside tea and

Christmas magazines.

Hope you are relaxing a little this November too!

Hoot Christmas Trends 2013

Hope you had a great Halloween!

We were sitting in the dark as

we lost power about 6:30 PM.

Now that we are in November

I am sure you have already noticed

plenty of Christmas already out in the stores.

Each year I try to do one new

project for the holidays

usually a special tree, or new decor item,

which blends in with all

of our favorites from years past.

I thought I would share a few of the trends

I'm seeing as I research what will

be my project for this year.

Natural elements have long been a staple around the holidays.

They are an economical way to decorate, especially if you have a bounty to draw

from in your backyard (or your neighbor's if they are generous).

This year the nature holiday theme

has focused on owls,

which have been trending all year

and other "woodsy" creatures

such as deer and squirells in

hot materials such as

mercury glass and natural fibers .

I'm sure you've seen these everywhere too,

these pictures are from Pottery Barn,

One Kings Lane and Pier 1, but

I've seen them at Horchow, Pier 1 and

World Market.

Will you be adding new elements to your

nature decor this year?
