A week from today, I leave for Cornwall to reunite with my girls for year 3 of artsy-fartsying around ❤️🔥 which means it’s time to finally get around to posting our days in Paris last September after the retreat!
Congratulations to Brett and Emma, the couple who makes love and the effort of partnership look so very easy and undoubtedly worthwhile 🩷 my kindred spirits, my fellow Pisceans, I love y’all so dearly!
Lol remember when I went to an art retreat in France two years in a row and then failed to post pictures (in a timely manner) two years in a row? Six months late but here are some highlights from the best decision I ever made!
Shoutout to @emmacarlisle_ and @harriet_lowther for making it possible 🫶
One night in Bordeaux. Definitely on my list of places to go back to! Massive art supply warehouse (to buy more materials we didn’t need), cafe dinner with some of the retreat ladies, and orchestra concerts being live streamed in beautiful squares throughout the city.
Oh and a cute Moroccan store owner gave us all free drinks because when he asked me “Kamala or Trump?” I apparently gave the right answer 🥥🌴🩷
From my day and a half (mostly spent trying to get from one area of the city to another) in London. Again wishing I had more time there because I think I love it. Despite the traffic. Sorry again, Mom 🖤
P.S. I designed the DoubleTree cookie sleeve!
My trip began two weeks ago in the UK with a visit to @harriet_lowther in Swindon! We fed lots of horses, drank lots of tea, explored Wiltshire, and chilled in her coveted studio. But most importantly, I finally met @doughnutthedoggo and @livingwithseanconnery !!
The fact that I leave for France (and England) in less than a week for round 2 of our sketchbook retreat has forced me to finally post the pictures from last year. Oops!
Can’t wait to reunite with some of these wonderful women and do it all again 🫶 Synchronized swimming routine included.
More pics from last year to come. And soon enough I’ll be spamming y’all with live updates from Year 2!
I grew up flipping through photo albums. I always loved seeing old family holidays and vacations that way — spotting my older cousins in their kid forms, laughing at 80s fashions, learning about homes long gone that held lots of memories.
There was a magic to picture taking back then. You captured genuinely candid moments, flattering angles be damned. You got the scene and the energy more than the posed “group pics.”
I want the future generations in my family to have that same experience and glimpse what their crazy aunts, uncles, cousins, parents, grandparents were up to in the 2020’s. Can’t wait to print out these @campsnapcamera images and start some new photo albums. iPhone albums just aren’t the same.
Happy four (!!!!) year anniversary to my babagoo 🩷 we take almost zero photos together so please enjoy this random selection from across the years. I love you!
