Morning tweeps! Guess what? I will be heading to Milan again this year for Salone Internazionale del Mobile (12-17 April). Major excitement! This year I will also be joined by my most favouritestest photographer of all time, also know as Husband. Hooray! Apart from spending a week in Milan (and a weekend at Lake Como), we will be heading to ‘the old country’ for Easter to hang out with my family who I haven’t seen in almost four years. I am absolutely crazy happy about this. Then we will be traveling to Spain for the first time for either of us. You may recall me saying in some of my recent posts that I must get myself to Spain as a matter of priority, so I am thrilled that I am able to do that this year.

Anyway, I just wanted to brag a little and let you all know about the trip, and show you a few images of the things that are going to be exhibited in Milan this year which have caught my eye so far. You should also know that I am talking to a bunch of seriously talented and clever people who will be contributing to the blog while I am away in Europe. Some of them have already sent in their posts and ideas, and I just have to say that you guys are in for a major treat. So much so that I fear you may not want me any more after I get back. But hey – that’s the risk I am willing to take!

As always, if you have any tips on the sorts of things I should see, please leave a comment below or send me an email. I cannot wait to share all my discoveries with you when I return. It’s going to be AWESOME!
