Nell Hill Excursion

Before the Luncheon with Colin Cowie began, I was able to capture some shots of Mary Carol's Kansas City store. All along the front of her store, big wreathes hung at each window-love the apples!The interior is quite beautiful....go ahead, take a look...

I love this chair!

Look at these linens!!

I am always inspired when I leave this wonderful place! If you can get there, do....you'll be happy you did.

If you didn't win, look for my cute gingerbread men over at my Etsy Shop, I've got them listed! Click on my sidebar!

Thanks for coming by!

Boy, after the luncheon with Colin, next week is going to be b.o.r.i.n.g! ;)

Luncheon with Colin Cowie

Luncheon with Colin Cowie.
First, I would like to say that this man is the James Bond of Party Planning! From his dashing good looks and charm, right down to the world travel and cocktails, this man is oozing 007! Throw in tablescapes and I was a doe eyed girl!! Hold on til the end of the post...you'll see a picture of me with that very look on my face.....
Secondly, picture quality is low due to low lighting, but you'll get the gist.

I think this man has been in front of a camera a time or two....whatta ya think?

The next three pictures are some of the centerpieces done by the Nell Hill staff designers-beautiful!

A portion of the tables

The atmosphere was high energy, fast paced music, lights, and mingling....not me though, I'm taking pictures! Some one actually asked me if I was a photographer for the event......hmmm...my lens isn't THAT big! :)

The 70 tables were set...10 people per table...and the event was sold out The menu was very nice, I cleaned my plate!Pistachio Cheesecake for dessert
Colin showing interiors, hotels, tablescapes and party planning, and his own personal homes...it is hard to photograph the screen...




Colin on stage

OK, now I must tell you just how incredibly nervous I was...hence the look on my face, and don't ask me what was going on with my hair! * H e l l o * Earth to Michelle, your limbs do move, brush that hair out of your face before they take the picture..................

oops too late!

Along with Celebrity nervousness, I was experiencing anxiety watching a total stranger hold my camera...I don't care if you're a Bond girl or not...do not drop my camera!

Thanks for visiting! This was a great experience! I am so lucky to be able to go to such an event!

Come by again soon, I took even more pictures inside Nell Hill's...I hope to post them soon!

Colin Cowie Luncheon

What do Colin Cowie and I have in common?

We will both be at the same luncheon today! Ask me how excited I am...go ahead ask....I am TOTALLY excited!!! He is the keynote speaker at a luncheon at Nell Hill's in Kansas City and I will be in attendance! I am super excited and I'm taking my camera!

(Can this guy get any cuter?)

I really don't know what to expect, I don't usually get to go to such events, but I feel very fortunate to be able to go! If all goes well and I don't pass out with the vapors, I hope to be able share some pictures next week!

Also, there is still time to get in on the Gingerbread Man Giveaway, winner will be announced Saturday morn!

Girl's Day Out! (Kansas City. MO)

What better way to spend a Monday!

A couple of friends and I took a road trip to Kansas City to visit Nell Hill's.

Enjoy the photos...

What I think is most impressive about this store is the artwork and furniture...both out of my price range, but oh so pretty to look at!

If you ever get the chance to visit Nell Hill's

take it!
