THE SCOOP #370

Welcome to The Scoop! Please read this post it is so important. With a bit of a sad heart, this will be the last Scoop! You are AMAZING for sharing your posts and coming here to be inspired. Thank you so so much for making The Scoop part of your lives! xo

Welcome to the FINAL Scoop!!! Please read below for an important announcement.

The Scoop is the weekly party featuring the scoop on the best from around the web!
 
We are
Yvonne from StoneGable and Suzy from Worthing Court
 
Our host this week is Anita @ Cedar Hill Farmhouse
 
 
Dear friends, we appreciate you so much, and you are the secret ingredient that has made the scoop so very special. The first scoop went live over 7 years ago! Can you believe that? I have loved being a part of the scoop since the very beginning, and I love my co-hosts Debbie, Yvonne and Suzy!!!! But the time has come to end the scoop. All of the hosts have so much going on in their lives, and I’m very busy with our podcast and our online bespoke decor store. We jointly decided that the time has come to bring it to an end. This linky party began in the days before Pinterest and Instagram. Linky parties really were the best place to find new blogs, but now there are so many great places for you to find fabulous content, so they aren’t as important as they once were. That said, let’s enjoy the last scoop party!!!

  1. this is a very sad day…I know that you all have worked very hard to make The Scoop as success and enable all of us to share our blogs. Thank you and I wish you all the best of luck in all of your endeavors and will be seeing you in blogland!

  2. Thank you so much for hosting and best wishes for all the other stuff you have going on!

  3. I’m so sad to see the Link Party end…but I do understand that they are a lot of work. I invite your readers to link up at my two link parties on my blog….one on Mondays and one on Fridays. Thank you!

  4. Thanks for hosting each week. I’m sorry to see The Scoop end. While I certainly understand the time commitment needed to host the party each week, I find that the majority of my readers find me through the parties I link to.

  5. Yvonne,
    It is with a heavy heart I link my last blog post to The Scoop. From the days of Cowgirl Up I have loved connecting with all of you each week at your linky party. I will miss this connection. Thank you for hosting all these years and for featuring Botanic Bleu over the years.

    Best wishes to all of you in your other activities. The blogging world is enriched by all four of your contributions.

  6. Hi Yvonne – Thank you for all of the linky parties over the years. Your time and effort are greatly appreciated to share my posts and see what everyone is up to. Blessings and love to you! Hugs, Holly

  7. Thank you and the other hostesses who have faithfully worked for years to provide us beauty and inspiration

  8. I have been a faithful follower of the scoop for many years and I am really going to miss visiting all of the beautiful posts.

  9. Thank you ladies for your time,energy and inspiration. You will be missed!

  10. Thanks posting for The Scoop for so many years! I have followed it every week. Each week I pick a recipe or craft and try it. I’ll miss you all because I don’t do Instagram, Pinterest or Podcasts. Best wishes in your new endeavors!

  11. I believe this was a wise choice for you to make. Nothing irritates me more than when I click on one of my favorite bloggers only to see that their posting things from some of my other favorite bloggers. I’ve started not following them because of this. Yours is still my favorite – so keep inspiring.

    1. There is nothing to be irritated about. Just more beautiful posts. We do this to HELP people!

  12. To All of the Hosts…
    Thank you for all of your wonderful ideas. You will truly be missed. I wish you all happiness and blessings.

  13. Thank you ladies, for all the wonderful inspiration❤️

  14. Well, you know how sad *I* am about this! Maybe some of your Scoopers will come on over to Homestyle Gathering? I can only hope and pray! (I linked an HG post… hope that was okay). Totally understand your changes though. Thank you for being such a wonderful hostess, Yvonne! Going to send best wishes to everyone else, too! Hugs!

  15. Yvonne,
    I am so sad that your link party is coming to an end. I just recently moved my blog from blogger to WordPress and I am getting back into blogging. My blog use to be The Style Sisters and had a link party called Centerpiece Wednesday but I ended the link party a few years ago as well. It is a lot of work. I hope you will stop by my new blog Karin’s Kottage and say Hi. Thank you for hosting this party for so many years.

    1. Holiday, thanks so much for being part of The Scoop! Now we are on to future endeavors!

  19. Yvonne, this is sad news. The scoop was the first place I posted onto a blog hop. I’m going to miss this, but I understand that link ups are a lot of hard work to pull together. Thank you for all the years you and the other ladies put into making the Hop so successful. Your hard work is appreciated. Well done good and faithful servers!

    Hugs,
