Halloween Inspiration From Nell Hills

One wonderful thing about living in Kansas is that I live in the same state as Mary Carol who has Nell Hill stores in Atchinson, Kansas and Kansas City.  It may still be a 3 hour drive to get to her store but it is so worth the drive.  A couple months ago my friend and I drove to Atchinson to do some shopping.  Here are a few pictures from her Garrity's store.

 Are these book covers not adorable?

 O.K. this is SPOOKY!

A jar full of jaw breaker eyeballs and skeleton hand napkin rings.

 Does this vase look familiar?

Yep, that is the same vase on my buffet.  I love this mercy glass vase.  It was one of my many purchases on this trip.


I know this photo is not Halloween but it is Fall and it is one of my favorites.  I love the large arrangement on the buffet and the wooden rake she added to the arrangement.  The swirls on the wall are pretty terrific also.

Thanks for stopping by for a visit and thank you Mary Carol as always for the inspiration.

    From another Kansas Girl, I love Nell Hills!! There is one here in Kansas City now, though I still love making the trip to Atchison!

    I would love your thoughts on my Autumn decor so far, oh and I have a new giveaway as well!

    Oh Nell Hill's! I too live about 3 hours away and have never driven the whole way up there, but have visited with my sister in law who lives in Basehor...what a treat! Thanks for sharing your finds for the rest of us Kansas gals!

    My SIL visited the KC store and loved it. She brought back one of her books for me- it is so full of lovely decorating ideas. :-)

    I just bought those same book covers on Etsy! They are really cute, and very sturdy.
