SIMPLY NEUTRALS PARTY ANNOUNCEMENT!

Hello sweeties,

(For an update about how to link your blog post, please scroll down to the end of this post.)

I don't know about you but I do miss the wonderful linky parties of Blissful White Wednesdays by Timewashed and Grey Dey Thursdeys by Petite Michelle Louise.

I so wish I could join some more...

What's a girl to do about it?

Sit in my pajamas on the couch and sop many tears about it?

I tried that.
Gave me some frowns and pity looks here at home.

Or do I take some action?

I have been thinking this over and over. Once in a while it would again occupy my thoughts. What was I to do?

So, after some more pondering in pj's, here it is.

IT'S PARTY TIME!!!!

Next week Tuesday (the 8th of September)

there will be a party going on here at AppleApricot!

I will call it

Simply Neutrals Tuesday

Because I happen to love neutral colours/tones, the many many shades of neutrals, and even have a pinterest board for it.

I love using neutrals in my home decor, in my own crafty work and in my wardrobe. I do love colours too, especially blue tones, but faded and combined with neutrals I love them best.

So, next week Tuesday there will be a Simply Neutrals linky party. And if you and I happen to like the party to go on, I might throw in some more parties.

Next week you can add your link with neutrals. Be it shades of beige, cream, (off)white, grey or greige. Heck, even silver and brown are allowed!

It can be things you created, architecture or thrifty finds you love, your own home decoration, or anything else as long as the photos are taken by you and the main colour scheme is neutral.

It would be fun if it would be a happy gathering of folks. So my question to you is:

Pass it on, pass it on!

And keep an eye out for all things neutral!

For inspiration head over to my pinterest boards:

Hues of White and Grey
Hues of Brown
Lovely Displays
Shabby White Home
White Christmas Home Decor
Winter Love

Hope to see you the 8th of September!

xx Wen

UPDATE


Dear Jesse of Lace Age Girl shared with us a very handy hint,
which I will share with you here today as well.
Jesse in her own words:

"P.S. A little hint for those new to blogging (like me!), I've noticed that when I return to past Simply Neutrals posts, some of my links didn't link back to the actual #post on Wen's blog, or to my own #post, so make sure you click on the post title to get the specific link address to use, rather than the main address of the blog. Otherwise you have to search manually for it and others who may be browsing our blogs can't easily find the posts."

Thank you Jesse!

So, please dear friends, try to link of your blog post and not your entire blog. Otherwise it's very hard to find your beautiful post after a while.

If you have no idea how to this,
I will try to explain:

Click on the title of your post.
(Either from your blog itself or from the list of posts on your blog's dashboard.)

(In my case for example I click on the title of the post "Simply Neutrals #14")

This will open your blog post alone and not your entire blog.

In the address bar in the top of your screen you will now see the link to your blog post.

In my case for example:
http://appleapricot.blogspot.nl/2016/01/simply-neutrals-14.html
(in stead of just my blog's address http://appleapricot.blogspot.nl)

Now select and copy the link of your blog post in that address bar in the top of your screen.

Use your copied link when you link up to Simply Neutrals.

This way we will always be able to find your beautiful blog post and revisit it later!
