As I previously mentioned we designed our own wedding invites using a variety of pictures of us when we were little. We chose four designs and printed them through wonderful moo. We also made a set of RSVP postcards using our favourite photographs taken on the Isle of Wight. We made sure we addressed the…
Wedding update
We’ve been incredibly busy organising our wedding over the last few weeks. We set a date, booked a Church and reception venue, and finally ordered the invites and associated stationery. Who knew that getting married could be so exhausting? Practically every day a decision has to be made. We’ve picked a great theme to hold…
presents from Ravenhill
I was really lucky to win a giveaway that Emily at Ravenhill did recently. She makes the loveliest dolls and I have been reading her blog for a while as it is so cheerful and inspirational. She sent me one of her wonderful dolls called Anne Gry. Emily also enclosed some lovely gift tags and…
Dungeness
Today it felt like summer had finally arrived in the UK. It’s no joke that we’ve had constant rain, overcast skies, and dismally dreary days so far this year. Luckily we woke to blue skies today, which was just as well as we had been planning on joining a guided walk to the sound mirrors…
Toadstool swap received
I received my toadstool from Tiffany today. She made me a lovely toadstool out of recycled fabrics. It was even stuffed with old stuffed animal filling!

The weather was beautiful and we were surprised how many people attended the service. My great uncle…
moo postcard and notecard
moo postcard and notecard, originally uploaded by Jennifer Young. I really want to make our own invitations for our wedding. My heart sank when my mum mentioned she had been looking at embossed invites and I quickly jumped in and told her we’d been thinking about using our own photographs through moo.com to send out…
A windy day
It’s just such strange weather for June, windy, windy and windy, especially on our little island off the south coast of England. I spent the morning trying on wedding dresses, which was both traumatic and strangely fun. I’ve been adamant all along that I don’t want to wear some white meringue monstrosity. Sure enough the…
I've got one of these
In tacky wedding news we don’t yet have a date but we do have a countdown clock and it’s wonderfully kitsch. We’re currently on the Isle of Wight looking at more venues and re-visiting a couple of favourite venues. I’m experiencing the full horror of dress appointments tomorrow! Wish me luck. PS I’ve finally turned…
