I'm so thrilled to introduce you to a new columnist on decor8! French stylist and author Emilie Griottes is such an inspiration to me and now, she'll bring beauty and great ideas once a month through her new column on decor8 (we don't have a name for it yet, but when we met in Paris soon I'll let you know what we've come up with!) beginning in March which will share food styling ideas, crafty inspiration and pretty things that will make your spine tingle!

Emilie is someone I found accidentally online last year and then was surprised to realize only recently that I owned some of her books! She will post on decor8 once a month beginning March 21 (my birthday!) so you will be in for a once-a-month treat from lovely Emilie from France. Here is a glimpse of her gorgeous work.

You can see more of Emilie's work on her glorious blog. She is a top notch stylist and my favorite food blogger so I'm thrilled she is joining me on decor8. In fact, I'm just so happy she has joined the decor8 team which is just me and Leslie Shewring right now but I'm looking for a few more amazing people to write here once a month so we'll see if I have more contributors down the road - only time will tell! But for now, I have Leslie and Emilie and that makes me just so honored, I really appreciate being surrounded by talented people and want to thank Emilie for accepting my offer to work for me here.

Welcome Emilie! xo
