Here’s our Save the Date.I kept to a simple colour palette of greens, pinks and browns, on white. This runs through all the stationery and the decoration at the reception. We’re having a Quaker wedding, so I drew two of the founding members for the invitation,and a little vignette of me and my fiancé for the cover.

Congratulations us, happy days!

I totally adore this musical! It’s old timey, simple, and just plain amazing. I have a soft spot for tap dancing, I have to say…The feather dress is my favourite in the show, but of course you can’t beat the good old top hat and tails.

In case you hadn’t already realised. I was thinking about pies the other day, and suddenly remembered a lovely little job I did for Parade magazine in the States, all about pies…The article was all about American pies, their history, which ones are famous, and what’s so great about them (everything!)

And here they are. Enjoy!

I tried a fun, loose and brightly-coloured style for this map of Amsterdam.

It was an experience and a half! My very first 3-starred Michelin restaurant. When food looks as exquisite as this, it’s impossible to resist…
