Publisher's Synopsis
Discover the gentle lifestyle and deep satisfaction of practicing hospitality with what you have.
We all need people, places and experiences that bring us home, feed our hope, rock us to sleep, then wish us well in the morning when we go back into the world and find others who need what we were just given. We long for these warm welcomes-and the ability to offer them to others without pretension or stress.
In this exquisite tapestry of stories, beautiful photography, and both practical and creative resources, writer and designer Liz Bell Young gives us a new vision for hospitality--one where we can both create space and give space at the same time. In Let There Be Havens, she shows us how anyone and any space can be part of this gentle and hospitable way of life.
Threading her life experiences in Italy, California, and Ohio--including camping events in fields and hosting friends in a van parked on the driveway-Young reveals the secrets of cultivating havens right where we are. She'll inspire you through:
- Stories to open the heart
- Easy-to-follow guides for creating haven-like spaces
- Creative how to's for everyday generosity and contentment
- Beautiful recipes and simple menu ideas
