2 years ago Brent and I took a trip to Lisbon, Portugal for a weekend adventure. While we were there I sat and drew a little sketch inspired by our time in the city, because – like every year – I had a resolution to draw more, especially during our travels. I shared the sketch on our travel blog and then about a year ago I received an email from a nice designer named Nelson, telling me his family was going to open a Portuguese pastry shop in Bordeaux and they wanted to use my illustration in their shop. I was beyond excited when I finally saw pictures this week of the beautiful @latelierdespasteis , with my design hand painted on some tiles hanging in the front of the shop!! They’re brand new and just opened in Bordeaux in the beginning of December – I can’t wait to get up there to see this space and try some delicious Pastéis de Nata! If that isn’t inspiration to keep drawing more, then I don’t know what is. MERCI BEAUCOUP + OBRIGADA + THANK YOU SO MUCH @latelierdespasteis !!!! #latelierdespasteis #pasteisdenata #10ruesaintremi #bordeaux #france
