Sampler's cozy sentiment
Home sweet home is a sentimental phrase expressing that one's home, however humble, is a place of comfort and belonging.
Often used when returning after time away: After two weeks of business travel, home sweet home.
The phrase appears on decorative items—embroidered samplers, welcome mats, wall hangings—sometimes ironically.
