What an experience!
MAISON & OBJETS is Paris' most trendy, fashionable, home decoration trade show held twice a year.

We arrived in Paris on Thursday for the show's opening on Friday January 22nd. The weather was of course cold, but inside we warmed up to exciting new concepts!

french home accessories The show has 6 theme halls and we spent most of our time in the halls 5A and 6 dedicated to home accessories. We brought back many ideas to complete our existing houseware and giftware product selection. And we also met many new contacts in the children department and explore bathware items for the website. We will bring them online to you soon!


Here are the Froggies at the show:

Ceramic, such an amazing material

Posted by Mr. Frog Sunday, January 17, 2010 0 comments

The first ceramics were found in central Europe around 24,000BC. Early pottery was made from clay like material, either by itself or mixed with other materials such as ash or crushed bones. Since these ancient times, the technology and applications of ceramics has steadily progressed through the ages. Ceramics now include domestic, industrial applications, building products and art objects.
Their unique properties have played an important role in the progress of most civilizations. Ceramics are very hard although brittle. They resist very extreme temperatures without deformation. They are impervious to most chemicals. They do not conduct electricity, are relatively low weight for their mass, resist scratches, and are very smooth and durable.

Hi,
Your blog may not any longer keep silent about the best place in France : le pays basque.
May I suggest frog du jour would become a specialized US market place for basque products ? the good news : I guarantee all basque people living in the US would become your most loyal customers; the bad news : we are two basque people living in the US :-)

viva Biarritz!
