Bespoke Wedding Invites

We got to be as creative as we liked with my wedding invitations. 

I am getting married this summer on the Isle of Wight so we decided to personalise the invites accordingly.

Each invite consisted of a screen printed wooden invitation (to tie in with the reception being held in a boat shed on the beach), pastel coloured information pages and a luggage label to give the wedding gift info. 

Our rsvps were made from old postcards of the Isle of Wight. 

All held together in a little canvas bag printed with a T&R Isle of Wight stamp (Tess & Robin).

We had so much fun making them and had such lovely responses from the people we sent them to.

 If you are inspired and would like us to make your wedding invitations - just get in touch.

We would be happy to create something bespoke for you.

Have a look at our website - www.she-me.com.

Island Life

This Easter we are on the Island again (for those who dont know...the Isle of Wight, where are family are from). The days were spent drawing on the beach, walks and eating alot of food. Check out these amazingly decorated cupcakes - must have a go at making some like this soon. We will post our efforts.

Pondering Post

On my way to work this morning I walked past a lady who kissed her letter before posting it in a letter-box. It made me wonder where her post was going and who to? A love letter? Perhaps a loved one she hasn't seen in a while, or maybe it was an application to something and she was wishing it luck.

This week in particular (birthday week) I have had lots of post through our letter-box and it is always a joy to come home and find cards and (nice) mail on the doorstep to greet you.

This gorgeous little box arrived for me today.

He really is too nice to eat, but I am sure I will succumb and have him with a cup of tea later.

Pick Me Up

We just cant stay away from Somerset house at the moment and so we popped into Pick Me Up the contemporary graphic art fair. Here are our favourite bits........

Kempton Market

Its a beautiful sunny day, and I cant think of a nicer working morning than trotting around Kempton market. No matter that we had a 5:30am start! When the sun is shining I really dont mind. It was a social one aswell, as we bumped into a few creative friends en route. Found some lovely little bargains and lots of inspiration as always. Hopefully be back there soon. x Tess

There's no place like home...

We just love London when you stumble across something completely out of the ordinary that is just beautiful...

 This installation by Fernando Casasempere in somerset house, reminded us of our childhood favourite, The wizard of Oz.  Its is made up of 10,000 handmade clay flowers, each flower is individually made, ensuring no one bloom is the same.... lovely.

A she-me Christmas

This Christmas was spent on the Isle of Wight in our family house on the beach.

We made handmade and decorated biscuits and mango chutneys as gifts and all our other presents were wrapped in our handmade wrapping paper.

The house is in the process of being decorated so all the wallpaper is being stripped off. It felt like stepping into a Victorian household when we arrived. We loved it, first time we have had a tree this big.

On Boxing Day it's our family tradition to head to Ventnor for the boxing day swim. We didn't join in this year - too cold for us this time, but we were there watching friends and family braving the sea from the beach. It's a charity event so well done everyone involved.

We had a very lovely Christmas indeed! I hope you all had a good one too!
