So many birthdays..

We love the look on a friends face when you go all out and make them a stupidly ridiculous cake-  This time a rainbow sponge cake with marshmallow and icing topping! Fun to make- even better to eat!

We are getting ready to launch our new Hand-cut Hen party invitation service on our website this weekend/the beginning of next week and we are very excited!
The mood boards are up and we have started designing-Think Mexican fiesta's, long summer nights partying and girls rocking classy pastels...

Baking sunday

Nothing beats a day in your apron baking something delicious for your friends to tuck into with a cuppa. Today was all about baking bizarre cakes and indulging in something that looks as exciting as it tastes.
 On the menu- a very big Rainbow cake and Earl Grey and ginger cupcakes topped with lemon zest and a bit of mad freestyle icing...

Showroom Launch

Have been so busy working on our new showroom at work. Launched this week and it looks great. Hope you like!

Festival time is coming..

This year my main festival is Farm Festival!

Farm festival started in 2006 when a small group of friends native to Somerset hosted an intimate, cost-effective festival for their friends as an alternative to the events dominating the English Summer.
Each year it has grown and this year it is set to be a biggy, with amazing bands and 4000 people capacity.

This year is also very special and close to my heart as it sees a new main stage, named after My beautiful boyfriend and best ever friend, musical director and eternal Farmfest legend, Gavin Harry (1983-2011- we miss you everyday)

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.
