A Warm and Cozy Season



"Home is a name, a word, it is a strong one; stronger than magician ever spoke, or spirit ever answered to, in the strongest conjuration."  --  Charles Dickens


With the holiday season upon us and winter right around the corner, making our homes feel warm and welcoming is a satisfying job with long lasting benefits. Always on the hunt for cozy accessories, I have been looking at websites that have all kinds of wonderful and well-made items. These are old-fashioned and beautiful additions for the home that will warm up any environment. They seem to incorporate William Morris' edict:  "Have nothing in your home that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." Here are a few items to make your  home feel warm and cozy for the holiday season and the winter months to come.

  6. Beautiful list, really wonderful things. I love Heather's new linens, and will probably be getting those for myself! So great to see that hobnail pitcher, I'm a big fan of hobnail, but didn't think many people were.

  7. This is so cozy, Sunday! Thank you for featuring the Kneeland Mercado rug, and the daisy patchwork throw at Anthropologie was based on a Kneeland textile! : ) I was at Heather's yesterday and she lit the Diptyque candle you bought her - so divine! Happy Holidays! xoxo Joanna
