I just recently got back from such an incredible conference called Alt Design Summit 2012!  I loved meeting my friends in person… Rachel from Handmade Charlotte, and Alix & Dottie from Modern Kiddo. They were so sweet and super talented!! Alt is all about creating a place where design and lifestyle bloggers in all their forms— foodies, photographers, travelers, fashionistas, interior designers, product placers, adventurers — come together, share ideas and connect with marketers. I learned so much and hung with so many talented people to say the least. We stayed at the the Grand American Hotel in Salt Lake, and my roomie was my good friend Trina from La La Lovely. She is the sweetest person and so inspiring!

Above is a picture of a few goodies I received from Alt when we first arrived! There was so many highlights for me, but I think my favorite session was listening to Ben from Pinterest, and listening to my talented cousin Kirsten Grove from Simplygrove who spoke on Interior Design with Emily Henderson, Jenny Komenda, & Morgan from The Brick House who is hilarious and a great speaker!

A huge thank you to Gabrielle from Design Mom, who is the genius behind Alt Design Summit! I am definitely inspired for 2012.

There was an adorable little shop in the Grand American Hotel where I purchased Kenzie a new Ferm Living pillow and darling mushroom. I think they look great in her room. Don’t you? I was so happy to get back from Alt to see my little doll Kenzie, and give her these little goodies!
