As you’ve probably noticed, Terrain is one of my very favorite places on the web. For a long time now, I’ve dreamed about visiting their store in Glen Mills, PA, and earlier this week, that dream came true! I was invited, along with a small group of other bloggers, to spend a day at Terrain at Styers. The happy dance I did when that email landed in my inbox was epic, let me tell you.
The mushroom hut.
The day the team at Terrain put together was magnificent. We toured the 3 acre property, created terrariums, did lots of shopping in the store, had mini spa treatments, ate some fantastic food, and got to hang out with some really interesting & kind people.
I'm going to attempt to share some of my experience with you here, so be warned, there are lots and lots of photos!
The sweet and salty cake!
One of the highlights of the day for me was meeting the guys from Baked, who are incredibly nice. They stopped by at lunch and we got to try out some of their famous cakes. The sweet & salty is absolutely to die for. It’s haunted my dreams every night since.
A plant display - inside the store!
The store it’s self is like my own personal heaven. Something beautiful is around every corner. I stocked up on weck jars!
I was ridiculously excited about the terrariums, I’d wanted to make one for ages!
I gave mine a “forest floor” feel, thanks for the photo, Ez!
I hadn’t realized just how big the nursery part of Terrain is, there are plants absolutely everywhere. The sections are broken up by huge, beautiful doors. It’s enchanting.
The displays throughout the store are so great. A touch messy, they look like life, just really well styled.
To end the day, we had a outstanding 7 course dinner at their cafe, filled with some of the best food I’ve ever had. It was the perfect end note for a perfect day.
If you ever have the chance, I would definitely recommend a trip to the store. Be sure to allot a good chunk of time for your visit, you can easily get lost in the beauty. I left the store wishing I could just move in. Put me a cot in a back corner and I would have been a happy camper!
Huge thanks to the team at Terrain for hosting a day I won't forget!

Hannah, You did Terrain justice. It's amazing how each and every little detail is thought of, yet they make everything look so effortless. I consider myself lucky to live close by, and i don't think the magic will ever wear off for me.
ReplyDeleteSooo lovely! Looks like you had a wonderful time. I love browsing their website but I didn't realize I only live like 2 and a half hours from the store. It would make the perfect day trip!
ReplyDeleteI've been so in love with Terrain for quite some time now, and if I'm ever down in the States, I hope to drop by there someday! I absolutely love this site, it's my first time visiting and it's now definitely a favourite- take care!
ReplyDeletethis is so lovely!
ReplyDeleteGood afternoon from New Orleans!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...after looking at these pictures I can see why you love Terrain so much! I cannot wait to look now either. Do you get a cut of the commission now that you have all of us scrambling to their site? Ha! All joking aside, you're pictures are fantastic and it's so good to hear you had a good time. Take care and enjoy your weekend!
Warmly,
Elizabeth

I live 2 miles from Terrain and go there often for shopping, for eye candy and for brunch/lunch. In fact, I had them do my landscaping [I live in a little townhouse with a small garden] as well as design pots for my porch. The work they did was over-the-top fabulous.
ReplyDeleteOhh I love your blog and I love your divine photographs!!!!! I am thrilled to have found you through Pinterest and look forward to browsing the rest (although I think I may need something to eat whilst I do)!!!! Warmest wishes from a 500 year old farmhouse in England - Glenda xxxxxx
ReplyDeleteI used to live just down the street from Terrain, and I miss it so incredibly much! It's such a beautiful and calming place, and there is nowhere else in the area I would rather grab lunch. Sounds like a wonderful experience getting to share it with other bloggers!
ReplyDeleteJust stunning stuff here, Hannah. You have a gift, lady. Thank you for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteWow! That place looks amazing! :-)
ReplyDeleteI was born very near to there. Maybe it's time for a trip home...
ReplyDeleteLooks like a great day. What a beautiful place! The table settings have inspired me to work a little harder for my next 'do' (especially love the string wrapped around the napkins with the handwritten place card).
