I was so excited when I heard unexpected guests were arriving this weekend. It’s always a treat to have family or friends drop by for a visit.
I want my home to be inviting and welcoming to all who visit. There are a few simple items that can appeal to the senses and help guests feel special.

My first stop today is to drop by my favorite bakery to pick up a selection of pastries. They are delicious to the eye as well as the taste.

There is also something inviting about opening a door and being greeted by a pleasant fragrance, so my next stop is Bath and Body Works.
The Sweet Cinnamon Pumpkin wallflower quickly adds a warm ambiance. It may be time to restock my cupboard since this fragrance is seasonal and only available for a short while.

Flowers and fresh fruit add color and texture to a space. While fresh flowers may seem like a luxury, they also quickly enliven a room.
Finally, choose something to listen to like English fingerstyle guitar artist, Mikes Dawes.
Enjoy your weekend!
