Haven Recap (Part 1- Blog Friends)

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Although I'm a blogger, I'm also a blog reader and follower of (many) other blogs.  I continue to get lost in blogs for hours late at night and am giddy when I find a blog that is full of creative talent, exciting ideas, and cool projects.  I fall hard for beautiful photography (especially food photos), the way a post is written, and the little thrill of getting to peek into someone's home.<br><br /><br><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBf-mIKEdHIUSWjVXLMb-Ix3HYvWjurDqHmRBmfl3ohA0Q9bXjxR8BuHhJzgc1zUYXX2w6-MRsiY0jt2sUjLsAyDOQb6FZcq0PXkj_pgp4CpEuwcfywrnHiNMuwb2CPak7ErFOdVVL8v87/s1600/Haven+blog+conference+2014+blogger+recap+part+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhBf-mIKEdHIUSWjVXLMb-Ix3HYvWjurDqHmRBmfl3ohA0Q9bXjxR8BuHhJzgc1zUYXX2w6-MRsiY0jt2sUjLsAyDOQb6FZcq0PXkj_pgp4CpEuwcfywrnHiNMuwb2CPak7ErFOdVVL8v87/s1600/Haven+blog+conference+2014+blogger+recap+part+1.jpg"></a></div><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />Last weekend, I went to the <a href="http://www.havenconference.com/" target="_blank">Haven blog conference</a> in Atlanta, where home and DIY bloggers can connect face-to-face, instead of just visiting with each other online.  Social media platforms like <a href="http://instagram.com/honeywerehome" target="_blank">Instagram</a> have made a lot of us closer these days because we can see what each other is looking at, working on, or doing throughout the day.  It's easy to leave a quick comment and respond back and forth.  But, getting to actually hear someone's voice and interact with them in person is priceless. <br><br /><br><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQgHQhgZIv_a3V4GD-Ng30zWVT8c6MovQwq0ZOJwhgMuXKBQXkCVOGcII4GuaDBUSj8kFLsXwOJ5RBBb41iT5k74ju0lZrA2bAqULQuYm9xjbDvAV_F76vJjn5Yp6c-Vurr3Vcv7HrK-72/s1600/Honey+We're+Home+Megan+&+Cassie.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQgHQhgZIv_a3V4GD-Ng30zWVT8c6MovQwq0ZOJwhgMuXKBQXkCVOGcII4GuaDBUSj8kFLsXwOJ5RBBb41iT5k74ju0lZrA2bAqULQuYm9xjbDvAV_F76vJjn5Yp6c-Vurr3Vcv7HrK-72/s1600/Honey+We're+Home+Megan+&+Cassie.jpg"></a></div><br /><br></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br><br /></div><a href="http://www.honeywerehome.com/2014/07/haven-recap-part-1-blog-friends.html#more">Read more »</a>

Nordstrom Anniversary (Early Access) Sale

<div style="text-align: justify;"><br />A couple days ago, I had to take my iPhone in to be repaired and while I was waiting for the fix, I popped in a few of my favorite stores at the Houston Galleria.  I haven't been to the mall in awhile, opting to shop online more for convenience, but it was cool to see the Fall merchandise starting to be displayed.  Don't get me wrong, I'm still just beginning to enjoy our summer, but I still like seeing the new styles.  </div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />A favorite place to shop is <a href="http://bit.ly/1qKV3sE" target="_blank">Nordstrom</a>, and their Anniversary sale starts July 18, but, if you are a cardholder, you can shop early - starting today!  AND, their <a href="http://bit.ly/1q035zW" target="_blank">summer clothing/shoes/bags/accessories will continue to be on sale</a>, so now is a great time to pick up those things! </div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsVy3iRWbqa0BqMjGxGpanioN2syseEGw9b_kyjcJqgEGRW0lpmiLUFcbcGJUHtx8YytSqohsPB-JZ8nK6MS6DheHIwUjUXFBhY5luPKHHhUPnJiicQhhgVK9sbwAoOHELzYscTJvmZfwj/s1600/Screenshot+2014-07-09+15.18.13.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="220" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsVy3iRWbqa0BqMjGxGpanioN2syseEGw9b_kyjcJqgEGRW0lpmiLUFcbcGJUHtx8YytSqohsPB-JZ8nK6MS6DheHIwUjUXFBhY5luPKHHhUPnJiicQhhgVK9sbwAoOHELzYscTJvmZfwj/s1600/Screenshot+2014-07-09+15.18.13.png" width="400" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlLoGvsPhurMbI8PwhgvaUcBCqp9uKsIBD_QSHr_ZDfqKmPzOVcgkhHNoEiLYikDiCEDas0zrop3ZFFEhKheLDuLbNW2qoFKrdVMcMYqr9B89_Q93OIHIq5iXV0yPxofPb34g_Gsbvq8Gf/s1600/Screenshot+2014-07-09+15.18.26.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="66" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlLoGvsPhurMbI8PwhgvaUcBCqp9uKsIBD_QSHr_ZDfqKmPzOVcgkhHNoEiLYikDiCEDas0zrop3ZFFEhKheLDuLbNW2qoFKrdVMcMYqr9B89_Q93OIHIq5iXV0yPxofPb34g_Gsbvq8Gf/s1600/Screenshot+2014-07-09+15.18.26.png" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br />I'd love to hear what you get and I'll be sharing my picks with you soon!</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><br /></div><br />
