Hi friends — I hope you’re having a wonderful week. I’m home for the next few days and planning to tackle kitchen organization as part of this week’s tidy-up challenge. Amy from The Fetching Farmhouse and I have already refreshed bedrooms, entryways, and bathrooms; you can find those highlights on my Instagram. I’m working on blog posts to accompany them and will share those when they’re ready.
Today I’m excited to introduce my real-life blogging friend Julie from My Wee Abode as our guest host. Julie and I met at the Haven Conference last year and instantly connected. We keep in touch with regular video chats, and her encouragement and creativity never cease to inspire me. Julie is a new blogger and already producing excellent, practical content — do check out her posts.
Next week I’ll be back hosting the party, which wraps up my time coordinating the Homestyle Gathering link-up series. After that, Kim will continue providing a welcoming and well-organized Homestyle Gathering experience for bloggers and readers alike.
Welcome to Homestyle Gathering
Welcome to Homestyle Gathering #3, brought to you by Serving Up Southern, Harbour Breeze Home, and My Wee Abode. We gather the best from home decor and homekeeping bloggers across BlogLand so readers can enjoy styling ideas, organizing tips, DIY projects, and seasonal inspiration. Bloggers are invited to link up on Tuesdays, and each week we select five features from the previous week’s entries.
We also invite a guest blogger to co-host the party every fourth week — it could be you! So sit back with your favorite drink, get comfy, and enjoy inspiration for home decor, kitchen organization, and everyday homemaking.
