Greetings!

I'm back from Warsaw, Poland and off again to Houston and Palm Desert for keynotes this week. Feeling slightly homesick, this week's featured PRO Trend resonates more than ever. Hometown Inspiration shows how brands are appealing to consumers through the comforts of home with an alternative selection of products. City-inspired items offer consumers elements of customization and comfort.

Enjoy!
