I was lucky enough to sneak in a flying visit to Paris to see some exhibitions this week and my mind is full of the amazing things that I saw.

The exhibitions I got to were:

• '100 Years of Art Deco' at the Museum of Decorative Arts. This was absolutely incredible with so many amazing & inspiring things to see and absorb. I was especially pleased to see bead embroidery (on wood which was fun as I have been exploring something related behind the scenes for a few years...) featured.

• 'Stones and Reveries: The Poetry and Minerals of Roger Caillois' at L'Ecole Van Cleef & Arpels was jaw-dropping with hundreds of beautiful pieces to lose yourself in. This was beautifully displayed and grouped in clever ways. There was so much colour & shape inspiration all around.

• The 'Dynastic Jewels' exhibition at the Al Thani Collection in Paris is simply stunning! Full of colour & sparkle and beautifully displayed, with a really well done audio tour, this has to be seen to be believed. I spotted a few pieces that were in the recent Cartier exhibition at the Victoria & Albert Museum in London and it was lovely to get to see them in a different setting.
