Continued from the series, Meet the Personas…
There is nothing like a warm, cozy home with soft lights, soothing scents and a love that bounces around the room engaging every heart present. Or perhaps the feeling of excitement that builds as your heels click on a pathway leading toward a party with laughter echoing inside the door. We all long for feelings of perfect contentment along with a genuine community that accepts us just as we are.
The Hostess believes that no matter what your life was like in your youth, there is an entirely new story for you to pick up a pen to write—your own story of what you want your home to be like, feel like, look like and smell like. You can also influence the happiness of all who dwell there, which in turn affects the spirits of friends and visitors alike.
The rugged pioneer women of the past set up high standards when it came to “making the home.” Skinning the fresh kill from their husbands with bare hands, gardening all their own vegetables and herbs, canning for winter, knitting up holes in blankets, building fires, and sewing clothes for the entire family. The Hostess knows our modern world is more “convenient” than ever; we would literally never have to do any “womanly” tasks if so desired, but we have to ask ourselves, do we really not want to?
The Hostess believes in the lost art of the hospitality, or put in another way, homemaking. Not in the 1950s-apron-over-a-dress-fake-smile type of way, but rather the way a modern woman can work a high-pressure career, then rush home and put the finishing touches on a lavish themed party set for the night.
Here you will find encouragement to place value on your home, blessing every person that comes across your threshold. You can cook. You can decorate. You can do the things you thought only your grandmother knew, while remaining stylish, interesting and ambitious.
“Let no one ever come to you without leaving better and happier.” –Mother Teresa
