This week, I’ll be going to Hong Kong for the first time! I’m very excited, and it’s had me thinking a lot about the past trips I’ve taken. The picture above is from a fabric warehouse in India. I felt like a kid in a candy store exploring this fabric shop. One of the things I enjoy about traveling is exploring different cultures and seeing what sort of unique resources each country offers. For example, I heard that Hong Kong has the best tailors in the world. I’m not really a suit wearing person (can you tell from the pictures I post?) but I will definitely get a few made for me while I’m visiting this week.
Later, I will share more pictures from Hong Kong and post updates about what I end up seeing and doing. What’s your favorite place to visit?

George Bernard Shaw once said: “You see things and say, ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were and say, ‘Why not?’” That quote embodies how Preston Bailey approaches every event.

Wow! I am from the Philippines (1.5 air travel from HongKong). I have been following your blog and visiting your site for the past 2 years already. I search far and wide for all your books (just missing Celebrations). I am planning my wedding next year and I would have very much wanted a Preston Bailey wedding but clearly, that is not possible. So, I will just pressure my event stylist to come up with something close (by devouring all your books as inspiration). =)

My first interior design internship was in a fabric design center. The most beautiful fabrics we carried was shipped to us from other countries (especially India & Africa). I can imagine the fun you had there!

My favorite place so far has been Asheville North Carolin in the fall…it's so beautiful! It's like God opened the doors to his living room and said, "come have a seat"…gorgeous! I have a passport i am dying to use though, and my savings account is dying for me to use it too!^_^
