I don’t know how you do it! Amazed by you yet again. Beautiful words and beautiful story telling all through the most thoughtful, unique, hand made images. There’s nothing you can’t do Tat. I’m so happy for you and all your friendship Love. From you, I know it’s the best kind of love.
This was so great! Who hasn’t felt the anxiety of spending chunks of time with a friend you previously only spent a few hours with?? You captured it so beautifully!
I loved this so much! Few people capture the courtship that is friendship so well as you have. It reminds me of the many amazing friendships in my life because I dared to take a chance and say yes. Even with the butterflies in the gut.
A wonderful story! Remember: According to my wife one only needs to know 5 phrases when traveling in Italy: "Buongiorno", "Buona notte", "Grazie", "Mi scusi" & her most often used phrase no matter what the circumstance, "Un piacere conoscerti." Bus drivers were amused by that one.
Of course, she left it to me with the duty of the real translating. But still, good times! Glad you found the perfect travel companion.
I LOVE this! We don’t talk nearly enough about the beauty of friendships, and a friend you can travel easily with is one to cherish. Great illustrations and just delightful.
Ah - can I just say how much I LOVED this? As an adult (especially, I think so many people don't meet IRL anymore) it can be so difficult, awkward and anxiety-inducing to meet someone new and want to be friends. I've literally met people and after having a lovely time awkwardly said...I know this sounds silly but do you want to be friends? :D Platonic chemistry is so underrated.
I am so glad you've fallen in friendship love, and it sounds like you've had a wonderful time in Milan!
SO awkward and difficult. Adult friendships are their own entity in their own right!! But when you find good ones, they make all the prior struggles worth it. (That’s what they say about dating too right? Lolol) Thank you so so much ❤️
Fantastic - again! How is it we have intimate, almost immediate connections to some people? Sometimes after just one meeting
I love these
i can't wait until you write/illustrate a book ...
aw thank you so much
this is so wholesome i love it
Haha thank you :)

Haha oh my gosh! I needed your wife’s list when I first landed. These are so great. Grazie mille!
Oh this made me smile! 💚
Your comment made me smile!
What were some of your fav Italian alcohol alternatives?
I was drinking alllll kinds of non-Alc beers. All major Italian beer brands have them. And a lot of restaurants had mocktails on the menu!
Crodino is a popular, it's kind of citrusy with a slight bitterness. Sanbitter Red looks and tastes Campari-ish.
