The Comforts Of Home

Lately, I have become a homebody. Broken limbs have a way of doing that to you. The truth is, I never mind being home. My home is where my heart is. How about you? I enjoy the art of taking pleasure in ordinary everyday moments. Of course we can do that in our minds, but having some comforting material possessions, makes life at home even more joyful. So today let's get lost in the throws of comfort. And do click on the photo above for the sweetest hostess gift ever. Let's get cozy!

HERE: A Collection of 16 Chic & Cozy Finds

Sophia Cashmere Ruffled Throw

Aren't these just the prettiest? They also are quite expensive, but can you really put a price on joy and comfort?
Horchow

Arquiste Parfumeur Velvet 

The name of this minimalist candle really says it all, but Barney's gives a good description, too. "brings the splendor of The Architect’s Club, inspired by the original Mayfair location to life, capturing the feel of the Art Deco movement in 1930. The scent of gin martinis mingle with fine vanilla and blond tobacco smoke, evoking the elegant imprint of the cozy wood-paneled interior of The Fumoir bar at Claridge’s Hotel in London." We can pretend to be there without leaving home. 

Barney's New York

Tea Forte Teas

I discovered this brand of tea several years back at The Ritz Carlton San Francisco. The Club lounge served it. I became addicted to these little tea triangles. The ritual of tea is super comforting to me. They make great gifts for a host, hostess or me! :)
