Gracious Hospitality

Cozy Yurt



Home is where your heart is! Gracious hospitality is not limited to the four walls that make up our permanent place of residence, but rather goes with us wherever we are. Graciousness, hospitality, and a sense of welcome can be ours if we provide it. A cozy yurt, a hotel room, a camping tent, a cabin in the woods, or a recreational vehicle on wheels are all places where we may spend quality time with family, friends, or stranger. A spirit of giving of ourselves in order to provide comfort to another can be achieved wherever we are. A warm soup supper, a candle lit, a pretty knitted afghan, a pot of favorite tea, a good book, and the companionship of beloved pets can all provide this kind of welcome. From suitcase to portable home, take time to think of the little things that you can do to make your home be where your heart is! You'll create memories that you will never regret.

Living Creatively with Purpose

Living artistically, aesthetically, and creatively means that we develop sensitivity to beauty and use it to create an environment that nurtures those around us. Homemaking arts provide an outlet for the creator and provides nurture and a cocoon of tranquility for others.The beauty, organization, and development of the home environment is enhanced by a gracious, gentle spirit of hospitality - the final brush-stroke on the palette of a beautiful home.

Gracious Hospitality

...where the welcome is warm and the teapot is on.
