So, I think I need to explain.
Rednesday originated as a place collectors of vintage and lovers of red came together and showcased their finds. They give background on the find, where and how it would be used, if they altered it in some way, or if it was to be sold on their selling sites they would place a link where you would be sent to their Etsy, Ebay, Website, or Selling Blog. As with all Blog Parties, unless they are specifically for selling products like Market Monday at Etsy Cottage Style Blog, or Blog Shop at How Sweet the Sound, are gatherings to meet and talk about similar likes, learn something new, share inspiring decor-designs-creations-ideas. If a post leads to a product created for sale it's soft sell...I'm probably not saying this well, imagine a Blog Party as a home party such as Tupperware, Pampered Chef , Sarah Coventry Jewelry.....You display it.....talk about it......
demo it......you create a rapport with your client. They get to see how you create, think,...sigh..........I just thought Bloggers would like to meet other Bloggers..get to know one another...feel connected. I know some Blog Party Hosts delete selling sites immediately, but this time I'll leave them up, but if it comes to a point where folks just use the party as a free direct sales venue, then I'll give them the links to those free selling sites I've mentioned and remove them from Rednesday.
I hope I said it right.

You said it very well. I enjoyed seeing all your red goodies.
Unfortunately some don't take the time to read what is required Melody. There are so many link up parties out there I think sellers are marketing wherever they can! If I were you I would just send a nice little note letting them know the next time it happens. Sorry I didn't make it yesterday to Rednesday, I am way behind on blogging this week ;(
