I am so excited to share with you today something new at RE! You may have seen on my side bar a new button “Home is …” and you’re wondering what it’s all about.
Just think about these words …
Homemaking
Entertaining
Hostessing
Cooking
Gardening
Thrifting
Tablescaping
Starting on March 31st, and every following Wednesday, you’ll be able to link up here at RE with posts relating to your home!
This is a brilliant idea because our homes are different to each of us, and we can offer so many ways, tips, ideas and inspiration by sharing those ideas with one another!
So each week you’ll use this button:
And bring people over to YOUR BLOG to feature YOU and your home! It’s a great way to visit other blogs and to meet new people.
Because Reluctant Entertainer is all about hospitality, gracious living, and entertaining (of course it also features friends, family, food, recipes, gardening and tips, along with bargains, tablescapes, cooking tools, etc.), this carnival will be so easy and fun.
It can be as simple as this. Fresh blossoms brought in and placed in a vase, right next to a family photograph.
Or, how you set the table for a dinner party.
Let’s put RELUCTANCE and IMPERFECTION aside and share what you love – what makes your home simple, more beautiful, more family-oriented.
Would you join me on March 31st?
The new LINKY is going to be like this. It’s really cool and easy and you can actually see a picture of what you’re clicking on to! I’ll be posting about it again, with the easy rules that will apply. Feel free to grab the RE button now, and put it on your sidebar to remind you where to come EVERY WEDNESDAY!
(In the meantime, if you have any questions about what a permalink is, Darcy has done an outstanding job and answers all of your questions. And there’s still time to enter the Bush’s Beans GIVEAWAY, winner announced tomorrow!)
This is a lovely idea, it’s great to get some inspiration. You’re blog has inspired me so much and I’m looking forward to even more inspiration from other readers!

This should be fun, Sandy. I love the idea of putting reluctance and perfection aside here. And perhaps this will be a linky party wherein folks really will mingle and get encouragement from one another rather than just showcasing their own posts. I love a linky party that really links our hearts together, and it sounds like this could be one of those!

This is going to be great. I love seeing everyone’s tablescapes and dishes, and how people decorate. Since I’m not a natural in those area, I love the inspiration.
