My New Online Store will Open Soon!


For years, customers have asked if I would offer our unique selection of home accents on the Internet. So, I’ve overcome my fear of technology to launch Nell Hill’s Online. And let me tell you, I have not been this excited about a new project since I opened my new store in Kansas City.

Nell Hill’s Online will be open very soon and will feature some of my all-time favorite Mary Carol Home Collection pieces – timeless treasures I couldn’t live without in my own home, all for the same astonishingly affordable prices you’ve come to expect from Nell Hill’s. We’ll start off with a sampling of must-haves, like dishes, accents and accessories, but we’ll be adding lots more merchandise in the weeks to come, so you will want to visit often to see what’s new.

Please don’t let Nell Hill’s Online keep you from visiting our stores often. I still want to see plenty of you at all three of our locations and at all our special events because shopping at Nell Hill’s is just so darn much fun. But when you can’t be with us, Nell Hill’s Online will be the next best thing. Our cyber store will give those of you who live far away the opportunity to visit whenever you want, and it will allow those of you who live nearby to shop in between visits.

We’ll let you know as soon as Nell Hill’s Online is open and ready for business, so stay tuned!

Celebrate Summer at Nell Hill’s Summer Open House

It’s time to celebrate those lazy, hazy, dazy days of summer at Nell Hill’s. Start by joining us for our first ever summer open house at my historic home in Atchison. After years of hosting spring, fall and holiday open houses, I couldn’t wait any longer to invite everyone to my home for summer. Since June is my favorite month for entertaining, I’ve remade my home for the season, loading it with casual, formal and whimsical tabletop displays I hope will inspire you to throw a party or two of your own this season.

Out in the garden, you can chat with Gloria and Lynda, my amazing Master Gardener friends, who can answer your gardening questions and point out how they took my courtyard from weed patch to wonderland.

I’ll also have an open-air tent stuffed full of the hottest summer accents – hundreds of marvelous tools you can use to decorate your home for the season and throw a summer soirée your friends will long remember. Look for the screened plate covers – you’ll want to have these cuties when you dine al fresco. Check out the amazing centerpiece items, like gorgeous garden statues. And get a load of our newest lines of dishes!
