One of the most unexpected gifts Pittula has given One of the most unexpected gifts Pittula has given me has nothing to do with food. Itโ€™s the ๐ฉ๐ž๐จ๐ฉ๐ฅ๐ž. Every woman in these pictures came into my life through the market. They started as customers and, somewhere along the way, became ๐Ÿ๐ซ๐ข๐ž๐ง๐๐ฌ, and thatโ€™s honestly one of my favorite parts of this whole journey. And these pictures are only part of the story. There are so many other friends who support me in different ways, like Giovanni and Alessandra, who stopped by today even though we didnโ€™t get a picture together ๐Ÿ˜ฌ or Enrica, whom youโ€™ve probably seen many times behind the booth with me, always ready to jump in and help! It reminds me how much simply showing up matters when a friend is building something of their own. Stop by. Share their post. Leave a comment. Recommend them to someone. Sometimes those little gestures are exactly the extra boost they need to keep going. So support your friends and their crazy little dreams!!!! Trust me, they notice! #SupportSmallBusiness #SupportYourFriends #ShopLocalHouston #MontgomeryTX #PittulaItalianGoodies
