Attention Local Bloggers ~ Repost

As most of you know we hold Worshops here at

The Vintage Bricoleur.

On March 1, 2012 we will hold a Blog Forum.  I am excited about this.  My idea is to get local bloggers together (or those who want to start a blog) to share their own blogs, share a few of their favorite blogs.

AND...

A special guest will be here to help answer any questions that you might have.  She will be able to help with how to do link party, how to do a Giveawy, blogging for bliss vs dollars and so much more! 

What an opportunity to meet face-to-face with other bloggers and to get your blog name out there to grow your blog.

So if you live in the general area of Sacramento, sign up to be a part of this Workshop.
Call (916)261-9079
or email terry@thevintagebricoleur.com

 The class is $25.00.  Bring your laptop if you like.  (And your camera as any good blogger should.)  You will be able to enter your name for a drawing at the end of the class.  Refreshments will be provided.

Here is some feedback from one of our workshops,

Good Morning,

    I just wanted to take the time to Thank You for the wonderful evening.  I really enjoyed the class and love my necklace.  You have such a lovely shop that it is like going to a relatives for the holidays.  You know, when you look forward to seeing how they have decorated.  You have such a warm and loving enviroment that it is enjoyable to spend time admiring your disign ability and your warm spirit.  

thanks again, 

Isn't that nice?

  We love doing these Workshops and I think this

 Blog Forum

 is one that we will be repeating often.

My picks for The Versatile Blogger Award

About a week ago, I was nominated by Three O'Clock Winds for

The Versatile Blogger Award.

I was suprised when Erica said that she was inspired by reading my blog.  Thank you so much!  I am happy when I can inspire someone with a new idea of how to decorate or how to redo a piece of furniture.

So here are the rules for what I need to do.

Rules:

- Thank the person who gave you the award.

- Include a link to their blog.

- Select 15 blogs/bloggers that you’ve recently discovered or follow regularly.

- Nominate 15 bloggers that you've recently discovered or follow regularly for the Versatile Blogger Award.

- Link to their blogs.

- Tell the person who nominated you 7 things about yourself.

Here is a list of 15 blogs that I read and follow for a variety of reasons.  These bloggers inspire me, encourage me,(thanks Mom and B & L), keep me in touch with their families, have great tutorials, let me know about other dealers, a few have cute little shops, and a few bring me the most traffic on my own blog.  Thanks so much ladies! 

These are not in any specific order.  I am am happy to see when any of them has posted.

(Wow, that's hard, only 15?)

O.K. Erica, seven things about myself.

1. I have always lived in Northern California.
2. I am a true bricoleur at heart.  Always trying to use things in different ways.
3. I live in a house that is almost 100 years old.  (Built in 1915)
4. I am afraid of snakes and mice.
5. I have three sweet children, two girls and a boy and a wonderful husband.  I am the oldest of six.
6. I want God's will for my life.
7. Antiquing is in my blood, my parents are also dealers.

So there you have it!  You know a little bit more about me and you know some of my favorite blogs.

Thanks for reading!

Pillow Inspiration

Every once in a while I head on over to Restoration Hardware for some inspiration.  I love so many things there but they are not in my budget.  I saw this cute little pillow there and thought that it would look nice on my couch but the tag said $45. 

 

Too much for me.

I thought I wonder if I can make something similar? 

 So,

I did.  A little burlap sack, a homemade stencil, a pillow form and there you have it!  For $4 instead of $45!

Along with some others.

I love to mix the burlap and the lace.  Who would have thought that we would be putting burlap on on our beds and our couches!  It just adds the perfect touch of texture.

So, I am linking this pillow project to Jillian at The Virginia House, with her We Can Do It Cheaper Monthly "Copy" Link Party.
