P.S. Your pattern collection has me drooling (metaphorically) and the colour palette is absolutely perfect. 😍

Thank you!! I tried getting more green into the pattern, but eventually I went with mostly just oranges and blues, so I'm glad it's working 💙

I'm so glad you went with it! The colours work incredibly well, and I will be buying all the crockery as soon as it exists! 😅

Well done on fitting a half marathon into your trip, just casually. 😁

I am jealous of two things: meeting Felicita Sala, and the coffee & pastries. 😋

Hehe about the half 😆 It was really cool to run it, but I will say that my legs were so sore for the rest of the fair! But nothing that pastries couldn't fix :)

Yes! Pastries fix everything! (Until you eat too many and they make you sick (talking from experience)).

Loved the newsletter as always! And thrilled about its steady growth! What a busy month!

I did not go to Bologna but my life at the start of the year has been dictated by it! I had for books in various stages to work on but April is the month that this got down to two! SO I’m enjoying this more manageable pace. Looking forward to drawing with you this month!

Thanks! Yes, it's Carrot flower, good eye! Minted doesn't have that font, so they said they might need to change it, but I liked how it looked kind of hand drawn
