WOW!!
There's a whole lot of events to experience this first half of the year - all over the USA! I'd LOVE to be able to attend all of them - and some are blessed to be able to join most - but flights from here in Phoenix can be pretty hefty. Living here in Phoenix, I will try to get tickets for the Home Tour on Phoenix Modern Week (last year it had sold out!!) and we're planning on taking a drive up to Las Vegas (my first time there!) at months end for the Las Vegas Market Event. I would LOVE to volunteer at the Design on a Dime Event (with Patrick Hamilton!) or even at a Thrift Studio in Dallas -- and I'd especially love to be able to attend the Spring High Point Market this April. Sadly, since the Design Bloggers Conference moved to Atlanta, I'll miss seeing Candice, but also people I met at last year conference (like Andrew, Tobi, Susanna, Kim and Lisa plus Leslie is going too!)
Are you planning on heading to any events?
Which events are you looking forward to attending?
Hope to see you at some - Thanks for stopping by,
I just want to tell you that I am new to blogging and really loved your page. Most likely I'm going to bookmark your blog post. You definitely come with good stories. Bless you :)
