Rambling from the Roost: Volume 14
Time just seems to be flying by these days. It’s been a busy few weeks here at the Roost. I’m back from the blogging conference that I attended in Atlanta, Georgia. If you are not familiar, it is a conference where bloggers, creators, and influencers gather to learn and share all the latest things that are happening in the home decor world.
Many popular brands are there such as Benjamin Moore, Home Depot, Amerock, Carpet One, Power Planter, (one of my favorite booths to visit), and Southern Living Plant Collection as well as many more.
One of my blogging friends summed up the conference by putting it this way. ‘Attending the Haven conference is like getting a whole semester of school all in three days.’
It’s busy.
It’s fun.
And, I absolutely love going to Haven. Getting to see my friends in person is the best. We meet a few times a year and come in from every state in the U.S. and Canada.
A few photos of us at the conference
Each year at the conference you get assigned a mentor. This year I had Jenaise from MsViciousDesign. Jenasie has an amazing eye for vintage besides being a sweetheart! I learned so much from her. (second from the left in the photo above)
On the far left, meet Ashley from At Home with Ashley. Ashley has the prettiest blog and home, all decorated in pastel colors.

Farms new book launch ’10 Minute Decorating Ideas’ was the icing on the cake. You’ll be hearing a lot more about her new book soon! (the matching cookies were scrumptious)
What I’ve been up to this past week
Since it’s been a few days so since we chatted last, I thought I would catch you up on some of the things I’ve working on.
I’m not rushing the end of summer, Let’s get that out of the way. But I have been busy planning out new ideas to transition my home over to fall decor. I’m excited to share them with you.
Fall is one of my favorite times of the year. The weather and temperature cool down just a bit, making my morning walks slightly crisper and the colors here in New York are fantastic. Do you have a change of seasons where you live?
For now, I’m hanging on to the days of summer for a few more weeks.
In the meantime, I’ve also been excited to update my fall wardrobe. It’s time. I needed a few new things and who can resist these great prices?
This is what was on my porch waiting for me to come home
Here is a sneak peek at what arrived. Thanks to my sweet husband for bringing in all the packages while I was away.

What I have planned for next week
Do you love the scent of Rosemary? I think I could wear this scent and be forever happy.
I’ve ordered fresh rosemary and I cannot wait til it arrives. Rosemary is one of my favorite herbs to cook with so I’m going to make a wreath to hang in my kitchen. I’ll be sharing with you soon: How to make an easy DIY Rosemary Wreath from fresh rosemary. Did you know it will last for up to a year?
The best Pink Lemonade & Vodka Freeze Cocktail Recipe is headed your way. Just in time for the end of summer.
Can you flip a pillow top mattress?? I’ll be sharing the answer and tips on this often-asked question.
And then there is more! The list goes on and on!
