These cold, bitter, gray, sunless days can feel longggg ❄️☁️

So we’re bringing a little extra light and comfort into your home.

✨ WINTER GLOW EVENT ✨
For a limited time, every $30 purchase receives a FREE surprise wax melt — our way of helping you brighten the gloom with warm, comforting fragrance.

And here’s the fun part…
Each melt is a mystery scent from our past seasonal collections 🍂 Think warm spices, soft woods, orchard fruits, and bakery-inspired comfort.

You won’t know which one you’ll get — but that’s part of the magic.

When the weather is harsh and the skies are dull, let your home glow.
Light a candle. Turn on a wax melt. Make your space feel warm, calm, and inviting.

❄️ Closed Today Due to Icy Conditions ❄️
The roads are a little too slippery for comfort, so we’ll be closed today. Instead, we’ll be staying cozy, eating Christmas cookies for breakfast, and calling that good decision-making. 🍪☕
Please stay safe and warm —we’ll see you soon.

Merry Christmas from our family to yours!
Wishing you a day filled with much joy!

🎄 Holiday Hours Update 🎄
Downtown is calm and bright today, so we’ll be closing at noon. It seems Santa checked his list twice and called it a day early.

Wishing you a wonderful and joyful Christmas from all of us at House & Harbor.

Four years ago, I paused while pouring my first cup of coffee and snapped this unfiltered photo—one of those rare moments that was simply too beautiful not to share. I posted it here and on the COVID-born page View From My Window, never imagining it would travel around the world and be shared more than a million times (note to self: I should have watermarked it!).

I may never have a view from my kitchen like this again, but I’m deeply grateful that I had my phone in my hand to capture a precise moment that so few people on the planet ever get to witness. A small, magical moment I’ll never forget.
