Grazie mille, Google Translate. Like a dapper waiter at the cocktail party who charms the guests all evening then drops a tray of devilled eggs in the middle of a speech, you can cause mild embarrassment at inopportune moments. But in this case, you served me well.
I received an email recently in Italian from a beautiful French bulldog mamma Martina, requesting a custom illustration of her with her adorable pup Uvetta. {You can follow her adventure on Instagram here.} Well, that's what I hoped it said after chugging it into Google Translate. A clear, trusting brief with inspiring photos helped immensely in keeping our communiques quick and simple. When Martina saw her artwork and loved it ~ and nothing proved lost in translation ~ a "Woot!" and a high five-selfie escaped me. So indelicate!
So come, let's follow their lead and tootle into the countryside on bicycles built for one and a half. There's ample room for flowers, crusty bread and a cheeky bottle of red. Italy or France, take your pick. They both work for me. And on that note ...
Happy Fluffballs Friday to you !
Molto carina!

DeleteUvetta! Sounds like a cheer of fashionable victory. And look how victorious and fashionable Uvetta is, so I must be right.
ReplyDeleteHeh!! It does sound like a cheer, Petrea! Next time I have the chance to cheer in Italian, I'm going to call out, "Uvetta!" Happy weekend!
