Every holiday and birthday can bring gift giving challenges, and Mother’s Day is no exception. In this week blog post I give my take on the perfect gifts for the mother (or mothers) you love!
I recently received an Instagram message from a customer in need of tablescape inspiration for a Valentine’s Day dinner for her and 11 of her closest friends. She, like many of us, felt uninspired by the abundance of sparkly red hearts and chubby little cupids floating around this time of year. I totally get it! So of course, we did what we do best – we turned up some of our favorite tunes and got to work designing a solution!
As you read two weeks ago, I went on my first Market adventure Mary Carol and two of our visual team members in search of Christmas décor and decorative accents. And PHEW was it a wild ride.

It proves an interesting challenge, but I like to think of it as giving us the ability to create trends instead of chasing them. Read more to see the Christmas trends we can’t live without.
Happy 2019! The new year is often a time of fresh starts and new beginnings, and it just so happens that the beginning of 2019 kicks off some particularly exciting new beginnings for Mary Carol and myself! As you read in the last Nell Hill’s article, Mary Carol, who began Nell Hill’s as a gourmet food shop 37 years ago, sold the iconic Kansas City business to me, a Kansas City gal though and through. And while the deal is done and I’m officially the new steward of Nell Hill’s (read more on that here), the work is just getting started!
