Compiled by Susannah Seton, Simple Pleasures Of The Home: Comforts And Crafts For Living Well is a wonderful treasury of stories, recipes, crafts, and tips for adding comfort and atmosphere to one's home. From making floating candles, to luxuriating in a "spa-day" with a home facial sauna and skin refresher, to tasty kitchen treats, to spiced sachets for bedroom drawers and closets, and more, Simple Pleasures Of The Home is a first-rate, "user friendly", and enthusiastically recommended compendium of small, easy-to-accomplish, yet highly rewarding projects for the home.
