I have been pining over my photos from last January when I traveled the City of Lights to take in this world class design industry show. So much to see and do in Paris, and I could hardly fit it all in within five short days. You may remember last year I found antiques while sipping champagne with my friend Toma of the Antiques Diva, met up with some of my favorite artisans and industry brands at the Maison Objet show, popped into see all the finest fabric launches at Deco Off, sleuthed out and made a bespoke cocktail at my favorite hotel bar, and ate a delicious meal at one of Paris' most historic restaurants.

I am happy to announce that the folks at the Maison Objet show have graciously offered to sponsor me yet again. This time, we will hit a few of the trade shows happening concurrently, and all the while on the heels of tragic times for France. Follow along as I travel back to Paris and show you highlights. In the meantime, take a look at a few snapshots from my visit in January 2015, and please stay tuned for updates of this year's event.
