The first thing I can tell you is that Nate is super cute in person (as if anyone doubted that) and it was really fun to see him up close and in action.

The set was gorgeous (rightfully so) and I’m now wanting one of Nate’s rugs from HSN (come to think of it . . . something from his HSN line would have been the perfect swag, yes?).

So let me tell you what else I liked . . . I liked Dena Blizzard the comedian who “warmed up” the audience. I liked the Q& A time at the end with Nate. He was genuine and showed true interest in the topic of conversation.

Forget the like, now and here is what I LOVED . . . meeting other bloggers. Now I can say “my friend” so and so, instead of, “my blogger” friend, so and so {me & Kirsten of Simply Grove}.

I’m sure you might have read this or that about what people did not like. I just don’t feel like writing about it. All I will say is that I, too, wish there would have been some mention {on air} of the design blogger audience.

Oh . . . and this is what I wore (with some gray tights and brown ankle boots).

There is MUCH more to be said about New York and my trip . . . tomorrow!
