Tablescape Thursday/ Nell Hill's

Welcome once again to Tablescape Thursday hosted by Susan at http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/ Today all photo credits go to my good friend JoAnn who went to visit a wonderful shop called Nell Hill's near Kansas City. JoAnn thinks she had read about this wonderland at Naps on the Porch in a previous post. Anyway, she took these wonderful photos & I loved this tablescape. Just look at the silver platters that were used as the chargers for this place setting. Do all of you have a spare 4-12 silver platters for this purpose? Notice how they used a little garden urn with a little bird sitting in it. To see the details better click on any of the photos & they will open & enlarge. Follow this urn & garden theme...

Here is another view of the whole table at a distance. A little hard to see because of the light from the window.

This is the centerpiece. A bird bath with a hurricane that has another concrete urn inside of it.
Who would have thought!

And another shot of the table from a distance. In this photo you can see the walls painted this vivid green color. JoAnn said that this is one of the key or signature colors for Nell Hill's created by it's owner & sold through the store. I simply LOVED the little greenhouse built for display right in the middle of the store. The birdbath centerpiece is not looking quite so HUGE from this angle.

Here is an outside shop of this wonderland. It is HUGE! This whole building (both floors) is FULL of tons of goodies!

This view is from the parking lot (store corner to the left) overlooking a bluff with Kansas City in the background.

Here is another table in the store. It is not a true tablescape in the fact that it is not set for a dinner but to display many tableware items.

And another table. This time note the chargers are a bit mossy. And yet another urn theme goes on.

And for the last photo I wanted to share the book that JoAnn bought for my birthday present. Inside she had it personalized with an autograph from the owner Mary Carol. Thank you for sharing you photos with all of us & for my lovely gift. I hope all of you will join me in the next day or so to see more photos from this exciting store. Be sure & go see Susan & all the others. And Susan, thanks for being the hostess with the mostess! Happy Tablescaping !
