Writers! I subbed to the
"Collage" issue of @the-engine-idling.bsky.social and the EIC @dehm000.bsky.social was a joy. Sent me this card & stickers even though I was rejected 😇 They're opening soon so give them a follow & get ready for the 15th.

How can I sleep? What an amazing night in London, and seeing the photos of @saloneurope.bsky.social events all around Europe
I'm just going to cry forever about how lovely it all is

My favourite moment was frantically brainstorming on a gigantic piece of paper with sharpies in Brussels, overdosing on enthusiasm 🫶
Happy birthday to @saloneurope.bsky.social! I can't believe it's been 2 years.
My personal favourite moments being: the panel in Brussels with @kitdewaal.com, Philippe & Balsam our first incredible event @lettretage.de and that 1st Brussels weekend writing in the square with @kiklodge.bsky.social

Happy second birthday to the @saloneurope.bsky.social family!
A glorious adventure so far, lots more to come.
Way too many fave moments to cite one, but writing in the sun in Brussels in September 2024 is one, and the ekphastic workshop at the Orangerie in Paris last November is another.
