Congratulations for your first author/illustrators book AND for the BRAW Amazing Bookshelf! 🎉 It's wonderful to see your hard work paying off. I also saw on Instagram that Folio have unveiled a display at Bologna which includes one of your spreads for Night Before Christmas.
I think you're right about Bologna feeling more special if you don't go every year - at least, that's what I'm telling myself!! A big part of the reason for going is to feel part of a community, and it looks like you've got ways to do that which don't involve waiting endless hours in airport security queues 🫠😅
Hey Holly! Thanks so much, that’s really lovely to hear! Yes, I forgot to post about the Folio exhibition! Maybe I’ll make a not-Bologna post and write about it there! I’ve not seen the Folio post yet, I’ll take a look!!
Yes, it’s so about the community, so I’m really happy to be doing this retreat! Hope you find some non-Bologna community and inspiration this week too! X
How cool that you got to go to Bologna in a different capacity before! I definitely experience fomo every year during Bologna. I live in the states so it seems like a distant dream to go, but it is on my bucket list! And congrats on all the wonderful bookish news!
Oh yes! I often feel like that about bookish and arty events in the States!! Hope you can make Bologna one day - it is an amazing city, as well as book fair!!
Love this Els, and so proud of you on your first self-authored book and on the catalogue cover! And keep us posted with non-Bologna retreat pics please!! xxxxx

Thanks Tor!! I will 📸 🐑 🌳 🎨
I'm also feeling the fomo but didn't have the wit to book anything else instead. Enjoy Ella! x
Ahhh! At least you have some nice sunshine to make up for it! Xx
I’m so grateful to our past selves for booking this too! And also quite relieved to only be doing a three hour train journey instead of a 15 hour one!
Yes! And yes!! See you soon! 📖 🎨 ☀️ 🏡 🐑
