When I first walked in I was in love. The building inside looked like an old house complete with differently decorated rooms. It was like a down-sized version of Holiday Mart with Christmas decorations hanging everywhere in every nook & cranny from floor to ceiling that could be seen. 
It also had an over the top, hodgepodge of beautiful accessories, furniture & home decor all throughout & everything that could be seen was for sale.There were branches & greenery suspended from the ceilings as well as lanterns, candle holders & ornaments. Tall bookshelves & armoires were packed with china, dishware & crystal. Tables were set with dishes & dinner displays with towering iron & glass urns overflowing with flowers & branches all hung with more candles & lanterns. It was fabulous. 
I soon discovered that shopping at Nell Hill's required a game-plan as it was a bit overwhelming. First thing you need to do is stand back & try to take it all in. Stop before entering each room, assess your surroundings & let your eyes do the wandering. Then, slowly enter & focus on each area or piece of furniture, all the while examining the beautifully arranged pieces, the interesting & elaborate colors & the texture combinations. Then finally, take in the detail of each room because trust me....there is ALOT of detail. And if that wasn't enough visual stimulation for one day, we headed on over next door to their "sister" shop called Garrity's for some more home decor shopping. After taking it all in, we were ready to eat some lunch so we headed up the street to a cute little restaurant called Jerry's for some sandwiches & some re-energizing.
It ended up being a gorgeous 82 degrees out which makes it hardly feel like fall but makes for a wonderful day spent with great girlfriends!
