[…] After about a year of interacting and lurking on the Hometalk forums I finally had the pleasure of meeting Miriam at the Haven Conference in Atlanta, where we were both able to connect with so many other incredible home and DIY bloggers. Since that time, Miriam has created an amazing network of design bloggers called Blogtalk with the help of some hard-working Hometalk Ambassadors who happen to be pretty outstanding ladies as well! I wrote my post on How to Go Viral On Pinterest especially for the Blogtalk group. There have been webinars and Google Hangouts and get-togethers among the Blogtalkers. […]

Oh!!!! I love it. I felt a little like I was there 🙂 So fun… all the pictures, the cameras around the neck, the meeting Ben, all the gals, getting the FOLK early. (OMG!!!!) Whew. I am so thankful to get to see this post. You and you cute hubba look like you had a grand time. Good think there was n brawling. I saved the picture of Donna’s wreath. Supah cool!

I am just so stinking excited for you! I LOVED seeing your pretty picture in print. It looked gorgeous!
Oh man, this was one fun post! I soooooo wish I could have been there! It may be a good thing because I’d truly have to fight you for the magazine and the gum stand. 🙂
HA! You’d have to tangle with my husband over the gum stand. That was his find, not mine!
I remember you guys coming to my booth, you had those amazing tins!! You bought the gum rack from me, thanks! Wasn’t that a great show, can’t til next year!!!
YES! Thanks for commenting! Everyone is loving that gum rack! I will definitely see you next year. 🙂
Not to mention adding another camera to that poor man’s neck! haha! Priceless photo!
what a great post and a great time. I so wanted to be there perhaps next year.
YES! Everyone should go to the Country Living Fair. This was my third year and it was bigger and better than ever. I see more unique, beautiful things there and get SO many inspirational ideas. It’s awesome.
Loved your recap! This is the next best thing to being there.
Thanks Suzy! The second best thing would be for you to come next year so we can meet! 🙂
What a great article, thanks! This fair seems like a ton of fun. You mention the magazine, which sounds really cool. Do you know if you can buy a subscription??
Thanks!

Beth! I loved your recap – almost made me feel like I was there. Sounds like you had an awesome time. Now I’m super excited for my copy of Folk to arrive in the mail.
Score on the beehive pottery! She didn’t know who she was messing with. 🙂
Thanks M! I’m super excited for all of my future FOLK issues now. It is just beautiful!
I loved that beehive lady so much. I saw her again in another booth and said “I’ve got my eye on you!” She and her friends were cracking me up!
Ha!!!! This is just the cutest post, Beth!!!!! You are adorable….and I want your loot! 🙂
Thanks Virginia! I might trade you some of my loot if you bring me one of those Krispy Kremes from your facebook post this am! 🙂
Grinning from ear to ear – so glad you had a blast! I would have been after you for that Chicklet display and the beehive and of course that signed copy of Folk (watch your back)!
Looks like Lee and your hubs called each other in the morning – they are wearing identical shirts!
Kelly
Oh I’m watching my back. I watched it all the way outta the park until I was safely locked in my car. That thing was like GOLD, I tell ya!
You’d have to deal with my husband on the Chicklet display, that was all him! And yes, he and Lee were cohorts on this trip. They both grinned and beared it for their beautiful wives. 🙂
Great post!!! I SO wish I could have been there. Hopefully next year. Thanks for posting all the great pictures…several have already found their way to our Pinterest!!
I saw your pins, Lisa! Thanks so much!
Please come next year! It’s so much fun! It’s slam packed full of junk that is right up SA’s alley! Y’all should have a booth there, actually!
Oh my gosh Beth I felt like I was there. Thank you for all the great pics! Beautiful day spent with wonderful people. Perfection for sure.
Great! I’m so glad you felt that way, but I wish you actually could have been there! I’d love to see you! 🙂 Next year!
I love the way you write Beth! What a fun post to read!! Im sad I missed yet another fabulous event, but kind of glad that I didn’t go to this one because I’m sure I would’ve been in the poor house after seeing all those great items up for sale! 😉 What a fun trip though! Can’t wait to see your Christmas decor with all your new found treasures!
I am NOT missing the Country Living Fair next year! I almost felt that I had been there through your post, Beth. You won’t even be able to see a stack of pumpkins behind the group of bloggers that’ll be there next year!
How incredibly fun! I sooo wish we lived closer to ATL. I used to be about four hours away, but now we’re so much farther! Do they do it in Atlanta every year?
Hey Beth, it was so great meeting you yesterday I was a little overwhelmed and a lot in awe of such great ladies! Would you mind if I borrowed the pic of all of us to use on my blog with full credit of course!
Hey, Beth! Your post is so great, you captured it all perfectly. My pics are still in my camera, I’m so far behind with reporting in on all my adventures, but i loved reading yours. What a great time it was. Thanks for bringing me my pottery, I love it!! Riding in the booster seat was a hooting highlight, just glad my butt could fit in there.
Beth what a great post, I read every word! Looks like you snagged some great vintage finds! I’m googling Folk now.!
Hi Cindy. I have to warn you that Folk magazine is a fraud! Ben has an F rating with the BBB for not sending products that people have paid for..I know, because I made the mistake of ordering an item and have never received it, or any replys to my emails.
You are lucky I found my own copy of Folk! I was deriving a plan to steal yours! Thanks for the pic of the beekman1802boys and the tip to get that magazine! I still haven’t found enough time to really enjoy it……maybe after everyone is in bed tonight! So thankful that you introduced me to Ben Ashby. I have a feeling he’s making it big time!!
Girl, your photos are killing me. I want that and that and that and that. Kicking myself for not making the drive to Atlanta this year. I can’t wait to see your finds in action in your home.
hey girl !! thanks for the mention !! so great to meet you, glad you enjoyed the fair !
Oh Beth, you’re so lucky you got to go to that and meet those wonderful people and pick up that beautiful stuff. Your pictures are great too, thanks for the tour around!
It was a lot of fun! Glad I got to experience it this year. It was good seeing you again. Your pictures , btw, awesome! Embarrassed to put mine up after seeing yours 🙂
Oh, love your finds too! Sadly, I came home with NOTHING! 🙁 I always get overwhelmed and want to buy everything so I buy nothing – LOL!
Beth,
This looks like so much fun! It reminded me a little of Haven….and my heart started smiling thinking about this year! I am so blessed to have you as a friend and you are simply amazing (and I am TOTALLY cabbaging onto those birch candle holders)!
Have a great day rockstar!

I’m not gonna lie, I’ve definitely found my “behiny” in my sons car seat a time or two. Not comfortable for long trips, may I say. All your pictures and finds are so lovely, stunning really. I would have loved to be there! That magazine sounds fantastic as well. Glad you made it out of there alive and well. 😉
Shirley
Such fun seeing your pictures from the fair! Did you go Saturday? We went Sunday and it was soooo cold! Been editing my post from the fair tonight and it’ll be up soon. I want to know what you’ll be doing with your finds! Love seeing things repurposed. I didn’t buy much this year, found some vintage flash cards that I’ll be making into ornaments and/or adding to my ribbon board. Love your blog! 🙂

Always make sure that youu conssult an experienced insurance agent before you purchase a
life insurance. Somee people who do declare material facts during the quote process to reach thhe ‘sorry we cannot quote’ results
will then go on to try another compare insurance website and specifically
not dewclare facys to obntain a quote. But not too cheap,
because a cheap lie insurance policy will
mean dissatisfying coverage.
