Wow I can't believe it has already been one full week since we left my parent's house in Florida to drive up to Atlanta so I could attend the welcome cocktail party for all of the Haven Mavens!
Haven was so much fun. All these DIYer's/Bloggers, roughly 300 attendees in one place for 2 full days of talks, lunches, interactive workshops and so on...enough to make a girl's head spin I'll tell ya!
When we signed in on Wednesday afternoon each attendee was given a canvase bag filled with all kinds of goodies.
Mr. Goodwill Hunting gave a great talk about smart thrifting...he was so funny that he kept us in stitches for over an hour. Also plenty of great tips were in the content of his talk...will be sharing with you later!!!
Miss Mustard Seed, Marian Parsons and Shauna from Perfectly Imperfect gave an advanced painting class...super informative!
I was so excited to win a can of Annie Sloan chalk paint. The color I won was Antibes Green.
Not sure what I am going to paint with it but I am really looking forward to seeing how it applies since to this point I have only used homemade chalk paint.
Haven was great and it was so wonderful to meet so many creative people. I'm not sure but maybe I will be able to convince Mr. Rosemary Lane to attend next year's conference with me!
Ciao for now!
After reading some blog posts about this conference, I really am going to try hard to make necessary travel arrangements, get a pet sitter and go! xo
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that you were able to go to Haven this year! From all the reports including yours.... it looks like fun was had by all who went! Thanks for showing me what was inside the bag, up to your post I've only seen the outside! dee dee
ReplyDeleteOh wow you did score on goodies. I wish Haven conference would have been closer to Jersey.
