Housewarming and Proverbs about One’s House

Tuesday, August 8th, 2006

As you may already know, a housewarming is a party for someone who has just moved into a new home. Last month I wrote a little about housewarming traditions. Since then, I’ve discovered that many people are interested in learning more about housewarming traditions, gifts, sayings and poems.

I found some proverbs related to buying or having a house…

-One’s house, one’s castle.
-My house is my castle.
-The house shows the owner.
-Home is where the heart is.
-He that buys a house ready wrought, hath many a pin and nail for naught.
-Better one’s house too little one day, then too big all the year after.

I particularly like this French proverb…

A chaque oiseau, son nid est beau.

Meaning… To every bird, its own nest is beautiful.

If anyone’s aware of any other housewarming sayings, poems or traditions, please comment below.

Thanks!

Lisa

UPDATE: There’s one other saying I just remembered… Home, Sweet Home. My mother used to say this to me when I was a child, and we’d just get home. Now I say it to my children. I’ve seen it on signs that can be hung in the house.
