Create an atmosphere of calm relaxation for your arriving guests. Just follow these simple tips and add a few inexpensive accessories to your guest space to guarantee that your visitors will leave with a cozy lasting impression. Let us warn you though - it may not be easy to get them to go home!
- Punch up the guest bath with colorful hand towels and light a soothing candle (such as Archipelago LAV-ande) to create a relaxing spa-like experience that is sure to help them unwind.
- Continue the sweet-dreams theme by placing Cambria Cove’s lavender sachets on top of the guest room pillows for a restful night’s sleep.
- Make sure your guests are well read by providing a selection of classic and current books on their bedside table. Some travelers find it hard to drift off to sleep after a long day on the road or after an energetic day of catching up with friends or family. Reading is the perfect down time.
When your guests finally head home, collect up the “fancies” that you placed out and store them in airtight containers that can easily be slipped under the guest bed or in the closet so that they are fresh and ready the next time you need them. Summertime often encourages impromptu travel, so stay prepared!

Graystone Hills residents can ring in the Holiday season with a celebration of lights and a time of honor this week at the Montgomery County War Memorial Park in downtown Conroe. The Montgomery County Beautification Association, which is dedicated to making Montgomery County a more beautiful place to live and work, will be hosting its 10th Annual Miracle of Lights Memory Tree Lighting Ceremony on November 20th at 6:30pm.
Area residents are invited to join in the celebration, where they can warm up with a cup of hot cocoa, and enjoy some cookies and fellowship with other area residents. The 13-foot Leyland Cypress tree from Spring Creek Growers is already up and ready to be dressed with holiday cheer. Throughout the week of November 16-20 volunteers will be working to decorate the tree with lights and decorations made by area school children.
The ceremony will also be honoring area veterans. “It’s a service project honoring the active members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, American Legion and organizations that support military veterans,” said Sylvia Wiggins, spokeswoman for the MCBA. You can dedicate and honor an individual by purchasing a Miracle of Lights postcard, available for a $5 donation. The postcard can be mailed to the individual and they will be honored with recognition in advertising for the event, as well as having a light on the tree dedicated to them. T
