A Warm Welcome for Out-of-Town Guests

With the upcoming holidays right around the corner, many of us will have out-of-town guests. Here are some great options for making your guests feel welcome in your home!


This cafĂ© cutting board from Gray Works Design is handmade from black walnut and can pull double-duty as a breakfast tray for your guest room. Personalize it with custom engraving, and you've got the perfect gift for anyone on your list!

To shop, please visit: http://www.grayworksdesign.etsy.com/.






Katherynmd's shop has the most amazing coffee blends. She offers a wide variety of organic custom blends - whole bean or ground. ♥ Would you like to give someone their "Own Personalized Coffee Label"? Well, all you have to do is pick the Blend you want, e-mail their name/names, example: "Matthew's Mocha" or "Janet's Java" and then she places the blend description below their name/names!!! You should see people's faces light up when they read their names on the label! GREAT Gift Idea for your guests. ♥

Pair this beautiful and sweet handmade wooden coffee scoop from Sunset Turnnings with the bags of coffee to make this gift even more special.

This wooden scoop was hand turned and carved from a beautiful piece of cherry wood from a down tree. The wood has a wonderful wood grain pattern and the color is a golden honey with swirls and streaks throughout.

To purchase this scoop or for other selections, please visit: http://www.sunsetturnings.etsy.com/.



Go one step further...Hang this adorable stocking from South House Boutique from the headboard or footboard in your guest room, with of course, a lovely gift tucked gingerly inside. Ideas for gifts: coffee and scoop, handmade soaps and wash cloths, or candy. You are only limited by the imagination.

The cuff is made from chalk cloth allowing you to write the name of the lucky recipient or an appropriate greeting. South House Boutique also sells the chalk markers.

Here is another great idea! Old-Fashioned Oatmeal Goat Milk Soap from The Happy Homestead. This OLD-FASHIONED OATMEAL soap is like a good ol' home-cooked meal early in the morning. You'll be glad you started your day this way.

Of course, they have added real milk and oatmeal to this bar. Enjoy the goodness of goat milk and the refining exfoliation of real oatmeal.
