Tablescape Thurday - Nell Hills AGAIN!!

Yes, I do have MORE Nell Hill's tablescapes! After the girls weekend in September when we toured Mary Garrity's home and businesses in Atchison, Kansas, I have enough tablescapes to get me through SEVERAL weeks! This week I chose one that is a favorite with many people, it centered around Bee's! Look at the below photos, and EAT YOUR HEART OUT!!!! Love, love, love these dishes and accessories - the way they put it all together! One thing we noticed that day was that black and white checked ANYTHING is in style this fall. It was used everywhere in ribbons, cloths, napkins, etc. I have always been a fan, but was tickled to see it readily available more now.






I want to remind you about my giveaway - there's only a couple of weeks left. I had Mary Carol Garrity sign her newest book shown below while I was there and it can be yours, just for joining as a follower. I appreciate so much how my followers encourage and comment, and want to give the gift for them only, as my thank you. Check out my sidebar for more information!

After you do that, make sure you hop on over to Tablescape Thursday with Susan, the one who started it all for me with blogging. She and her friends can be found at: http://betweennapsontheporch.blogspot.com/. Thanks so much for stopping by! Sandi
