Thsnks for the sneak peek. I always pack a gluestick with my sketchbook and collect ephemera. Interesting to notice how e-tickets etc have reduced the amount of available paper for my book.

Well, now you hooked me. I'm taking my teeny tiny sketch book and my tiny traveling watercolor set to the setup for my daughter's wedding!

If you’re ever in Munich - you must let me know! I can suggest places and maybe we could even have a coffee and sketch date.

So inspiring post Carolyn, I love to see travel sketchbooks 😍 they are always more than drawings and annotations, those pages tell a story! You spread of Pastéis de Nata is freaking delicious 😋 so happy to read you enjoyed your time in Lisbon! 💛
