Hometalk Round Top Blogger Event Reminder

Posted on October 4, 2013 by Julie

I’m driving down to Round Top, Texas today for the big Antiques Fair and tomorrow’s big Hometalk Blogger Meet-up that I’m co-hosting with Randi from Dukes & Duchesses.

We’ll be meeting in front of Cole’s Antiques in Warrenton at 9 a.m. If you’re there, please look for us and say, “hi!”

I’m super excited and can’t wait to get there! I am just itching to find some wonderful treasures.

I’ll be taking pictures and sharing on Instagram throughout the day tomorrow, so feel free to follow me there.

Here’s to wishing you a wonderful Friday and happy weekend!

Due to stolen content I cannot provide a full RSS feed. I work hard to provide fresh, original content and, unfortunately, there are sites that like to steal from honest, hard-working bloggers. Thanks for understanding!

Hometalk Round Top Blogger Event

Posted on September 5, 2013 by Julie

If you’re a blogger and you live in Texas (or you just want to drive here) I’ve got a really great “Blogger’s Day Out” event to share with you.

I am teaming up with Hometalk and Randi from Dukes & Duchesses at the Round Top Antiques Fair on October 5, 2013 for the Hometalk Round Top Blogger Event.

Randi and I will be road tripping to Round Top and we are inviting you to meet us there!

It will be a day full of shopping, socializing and fun! We will also have a little challenge to find something fabulous that we want to “flip” — sort of like Flea Market Flip.

If you’re a blogger and you’re interested in being a part of the Round Top Antiques Fair blogger event on October 5, you will need to RSVP to reserve your spot.

The blogger event is free but you will be responsible for your own transportation, lodging, meals, etc. Cost to get in to the Antiques Fair is $10.

It’s going to be a lot of fun so I hope to see you there. Oh, and you can bring a non-blogging friend, too if you want. Can’t wait to see you on October 5!

Do You Hometalk? {10 of You Can Help Me Get to Lucketts!}

Posted on May 9, 2013 by Julie

I have a confession to make. I’m not very good at social media. I don’t really get Twitter, I’m still confused by Google+ and I am not good about loading pictures to Instagram.

But, HELLO! Have you ever checked out Hometalk?

Hometalk, according to their web site, is “the largest online home and garden knowledge hub.” It’s a place where hundreds of thousands of home enthusiasts and professionals share firsthand experience and advice about projects they’re doing in and around their homes. It’s full of eye candy, information and it is LOTS of fun!

This is what my page on Hometalk looks like:

The picture probably doesn’t tell you much so let me explain what’s so great about it.

To me, Hometalk is a blend of Pinterest, Facebook, online forums and blogs all wrapped up in to one. There are loads of pictures and great ideas about home and garden projects. What’s not to love?

The site is full of inspiring projects, beautiful pictures and the opportunity to “meet” and get to know other people who are passionate about improving their homes and sharing their projects and knowledge.

I’ve seen everything from making a rain barrel out of re-purposed materials to installing bathroom tile to creating a beautiful table display.

Sometimes people post pictures of completed projects and other times members ask questions in hopes of getting knowledgeable answers to perplexing problems.

It’s a great knowledge and eye candy exchange and I’m finding that I love the site more and more!

Just like Pinterest, you can “clip” photos and posts that you like. For example, if I like this post on Hometalk…

I can clip it to a board I’ve created on my page.

But the posts are more informative than a single picture and a description. The post might include 3 pictures or more, plus a tutorial or background information about the post. And, other Hometalkers can comment and ask questions about each post.

You might have seen this little button on your favorite blogs and wondered about it.

My Hometalk button has been on my sidebar for a couple of months now and I’m gaining followers almost every day.

I would love it if you would sign up for Hometalk (if you haven’t already) and follow me!

I need 10 new Hometalk followers to be put into a drawing to win a trip to the Lucketts Spring Market on May 18.

That’s a crazy-busy weekend for me, but I will go sleep-deprived if I win because I would LOVE to go!!
Lucketts, in case you’ve never heard, is an amazing antique store that has a huge fair every spring with vendors who bring all kinds of great goodies like junk, antiques, etc. Does that sound fun or what?!

So, PLEASE, PLEASE follow me on Hometalk and start browsing their site (you can click on the Hometalk icon on my right sidebar and then click “follow”). It really is fun and I’m not just saying that because I want to win a free trip. 🙂 If you follow me on Hometalk, would you be so kind as to comment in the comments section below so I know who you are? Thank you very much!

If you’ve never visited Hometalk before and would like to sign up, you can learn more at http://www.hometalk.com/about
There’s a little tutorial video that explains how to use the site and you can create an account right there.

If you’re ready to get started right away go here:

I hope to see you on Hometalk!
