A fun group of ladies have coordinated a brand new blogging conference in Raleigh, NC in October, dubbed the Southern Blogger’s Conference and they have ask ME to speak. I’m honored and it should be a fun time in this Southern city of talking shop about blogging and doing a little thrifting along the way too. My friends, Barb and Shirley are 2 of the main ladies heading up the planning committee and I met both of them at Haven.
This will be my kind of weekend!
If you’d like to join me, I’m giving away one ticket today, so all you have to do is leave a comment and tell me you’d love to go! Please only sign up if you know you can attend!
I look forward to meeting up with some new bloggers that I’ve never met before. There will be some blogging topics and some decorating topics, as well as a shopping day for those interested.
Hope you’ll join us!





Rhoda – I would love, love, love to go! (you have my other contact info too, cell, work email, etc)
I’m so excited to be able to meet you at the conference! I had really wanted to attend Haven this year, but wasn’t able to so this will be great. I’ve been working with Barb and Shirley and three other gals on the planning committee for the conference and it’s been so fun getting know them all!

I’ve been sitting on the fence about starting a blog. This sounds like a great opportunity to learn more.
I would love to go! I’ve never been to a conference but would love the opportunity to learn how to grow as a blogger and network with other bloggers. Thanks for offering the giveaway!
I’m in Charlotte so Raleigh is just a hop, skip and a car ride from me. I would love to go!
Yes – I want to attend, no I need to attend so I can get better at this. (Did you get my email from a couple days ago)
Oh my gosh! I’d love to go. This would be my “leap” that I’ve been looking to take. Just for me!
I’m a NEW NEW NEW blogger, and would LOVE LOVE LOVE to go! Thanks so much for the inspiration!
How wonderful to have a conference that is so close!
I’m not quite Southern, but I’d still LOVE to attend so I can see you, Heather and KariAnne in person again!
Hi, Rhoda
This conference is not only closer to me, but I can get away this weekend too. This would be my first conference and I truly would love to learn from the ladies who are speaking at this conference, I want to learn, grow my blog and empower myself to improve. Thank you for this opportunity. Have a great week.

Not only would I love to go, but I live right up the street from the hotel where the conference is being held. I think it’s karma. Pick me, Rhoda!
Rhoda,
This sounds like a fun conference, and I would love to WIN a ticket to it…thanks for the chance to WIN one:)
Blessings,
Linda
OMG!!!!! I would love to win this ticket! I have read so many of the best blogs these past 2 years and have seriously thought of starting one up myself but am not sure I have the ka-hoonas to do it well… this would be such a great opportunity to learn from the experts!
Oh Rhoda, I would LOVE to win this ticket! I started blogging a couple of months back and I think being able to attend this conference would be the best opportunity in the world for me. I live right next to Raleigh and I think it would be amazing to be able to meet all of the people that I admire most! It would be the most amazing way to help me grow my blog and meet new people! Please pick me!
Rhoda – I’d love to see you in action again and meet some other amazing bloggers who I feel like I already know but have yet to meet. I’m not a Southerner but I’ll happily drink lots of sweet tea and say “bless your heart” all day long! If I win, I’d love to arrange group of Northern girls so we can road trip down to NC together – we’ll be the Thelma & Louise of bloggers!
I feel like I’m in second grade when I say this to you (picture me with my hand raised): “pick me, pick me”!

I’ve been following your blog for sometime now. You rock. I am in my early fifties…grown kids grown and gone. I’d love to learn more about blogging…searching for a new path in life. I’d be honored if you chose me!
I would loveto win a ticket to the Blog Conference. I’ve been unemployed since mid-June and ran acoss you blog one day while online. This opened a whole new world for me that I never knew existed – all these wonderful blogs about decorating, thrifting, and being southern. I am born and raised in the South and love all things southern. Going to the conference would allow me to meet other bloggers and learn as I have been thinking about starting a blog but have No clue how to begin. But I think I would love it; being home all day it would give me opportunity to meet and interact with other women that share the same interests.
Im so excited for this-I’m only about an hour from Raliegh and I desperately want to meet some other bloggers!
Rhoda…what a thrill it was to meet you at Haven…and I am also so thrilled that you will be a part of the conference…Your experience and expertise in “blogland” will be such a tremendous asset to us all… Cannot wait to see you again!
