Nell Hills

My favorite decorating store, Nell Hills has a blog dedicated to sprucing up your nests no matter what time of year it is.  My favorite time of year to visit Mary Carol Garrity's store is during autumn.   Mainly because all the Christmas decor is out and the store is dripping with crystals, beautiful wreaths, and lots of other decorating goodness! My mother and I were able to take a quick day trip there before Christmas to check out the Nell Hills open house in Atchison, KS.  Lo and behold the lines and lines of women outside of the store!  It was truly unbelievable!  I had a great time chatting and getting to know some of the lovely ladies patiently wating to get in the store to shop.  Yes this was just to get in there and see what goodies were inside. 

But! Before we entered the line for the store we were encouraged to take a bus up to Mary Carol's home tour...


Yep - more lines! But it was fun and Mary Carol was outside greeting us all


Also greeted with a beautiful door display.  Mom bought one of the lanterns in the store. 


I love her home


Oooh I've ALWAYS wanted a window seat!  What a lovely place to relax and read a book!


 A pretty wreath with my favorite color green.  I can't seem to get sick of this color.  Who can get sick of green?  I've been missing it throughout the long winter, after all!

Well this is just a taste of the Garrity home and I'll have to share some other pictures another time. 

Hope you all will come visit her store and the cute little town of Atchison.  Tell her a nice blogger from Nebraska sent ya!

Have a great weekend!

  1. Oh Angela what a treat this would have been! I love Mary Carol's decorating style. I love her books and I know I would love her stores.
    Don't you love making new friends while standing in line. I swear I could talk to a serial killer and try to make him my friend. lol
    I loved your post on children. Children gravitate to you because they know you love them and they also know a great person when they see one.
