Will I Be Seeing You at Haven?

by on 2,336 Comments

Just like 400 other DIY bloggers around the country, I’m headed to the Haven Conference tomorrow.  I wasn’t able to go last year due to a timing issue, so you better believe that I wasn’t going to miss it this year.

If you aren’t going, I’m sure you are tired of reading the eleventy billion pots that the other bloggers have written.  I was like that last year. “Enough already!  I’m jealous enough!”  Sad face.

If you are going to Haven, I have three little things to pass along to you:

 

Thing One

I DESPERATELY want to meet you.  Honestly and for serious.  Please come and find me!  I am super nice and destined to say something stupid that will make you laugh.  You might be laughing AT me and not WITH me, but at least you’ll be laughing.

While the cameras were being reset and the lighting was being adjusted (do I sound like a pro now or what?), I got to chat with some of the Glidden representatives that were on set.  During one of the breaks, our conversation turned to naming paint colors.  We joked about “Lindsay White,” and they showed me a paint names ad for Glidden’s Canadian counterpart, CIL Paint.

The ad takes a funny look at how hard it really must be to name paint colors, since men and women associate colors and names so differently.  They promised me that other than the host, the people in the video are real people and not actors (which surprised me because some of them are very good on camera).  It’s really funny!
