Our 2021 Message From Us To You

6th January 2021

This is our first post in a long time, after a very strange and difficult year. We’re feeling refreshed after a comforted and cocooned Christmas and ready for a new start. As all our weddings were put on hold we pressed pause for a few weeks last March and April and temporarily closed the studio doors. We opened again selling our greeting cards and gifts from our Not On The High Street store. There were immense highs and lows as we struggled as an isolated team, some furloughed and others trying to manoeuvre their way through the Royal Mail postal backlog…

Happy Day

14th February 2018

Some days I just have to pinch myself at how lucky I am. I have such a wonderful inspirational, creative and hard working team who put up with my endless requests, questions, design thoughts and ideas. Today I’m working from my home office as I’m needing a little time out to focus the mind and sort lots of lovely quotes for wedding stationery orders. My pups are curled up on the sofa, the ducks are making rather a lot of noise in the garden and my cat is chilling in the dog basket! As a little thank you to my very…

International Women’s Day

8th March 2017

It’s International Women’s Day today, so here at Hummingbird we want to celebrate with all of you. You unique and incredibly creative females, you talented, strong, passionate and amazing women who can make the working world for women an equal and better place! Having worked in quite a few large corporate companies, run by men, I know that we female entrepreneurs offer far more than just the hard and fast knocks, the straight talking and the results of the bottom line. There’s the struggle to find a work-life balance. The need and desire to live up to what we believe stands for…

Hummingbird Studio…

1st March 2017

Last year we decided that with limited space in our wedding stationery studio we needed to find a new home for Hummingbird Cards. We found 81 Market Street, the perfect place, high ceilings, lots of big sash windows and natural light and views of the castle! The space looked very ‘tired’ it was your classic corporate office, with purple walls, loads of desks and a carpet that had definitely passed its best before date! The transformation started with new flooring, painted white walls, the installation of lots of shelving and slowly the new HB space started to take shape. We moved…
