Our Story
đź’ś The Heart Behind Ne & Me Handmade
Hi, I’m Dionne — the heart behind Ne & Me Handmade.
This little business means more to me than I could ever put into words. It’s not just something I created… it’s something that helped rebuild me.
The name Ne & Me comes from my two beautiful daughters, Nieve and Erin. It’s always just been “N & E… and me” — our little trio 💜
They are my reason for everything, and the strength behind every piece I create.
đź’« Where It All Began
Â
What started as something deeply personal quickly became something much bigger.
Â
I began creating wreaths and floral pieces for my Brother,Grandparents and Nieces resting places during some of the hardest times in my life — and especially for others going through loss. What I didn’t expect was how many people would trust me to create something so meaningful for them.
That trust is something I will never, ever take for granted.
Creating memorial pieces, gifts filled with love, and keepsakes that hold meaning… it truly is a privilege.
đź’ś More Than Just a Business
Â
I’m a single mum, an SEN parent, and someone who has faced my own health challenges.
There was a time in my life where I was incredibly unwell — after having meningitis, I was left with spinal damage and unable to walk, spending years in a wheelchair. I also live with epilepsy, and it took 16 medication trials to finally find something that helped manage it. While I do still have triggers and it’s something I will always live with, it is now well managed for the most part thankfully.
Â
Life hasn’t always been easy… but this business gave me something I didn’t even realise I needed:
✨ Purpose
✨ Healing
✨ A way to create something beautiful from pain
đź’« Why This Means So Much
Â
Because of everything I’ve been through — and everything I’ve watched my girls go through — I understand how important and meaningful items can be.
Â
Â
-
• a memorial wreath for someone deeply loved
• a gift filled with emotion
• something special to bring comfort
• a special celebration — from welcoming a new baby to birthdays and anniversaries
• or SEN-friendly items created to bring calm, comfort and support during overwhelming moments
Every piece is created with care, understanding and love — because I know how much it can mean. 💜
I put care, compassion and understanding into every single piece, because I know how much it can mean.
đź’ś From My Hands to Your Home
Â
Every wreath, every arrangement, every personalised piece is handmade with love, patience and intention.
Â
Â
I’ll always do my best to:
- understand your vision
- respect your story
- and create something truly special just for you
Because when you choose Ne & Me Handmade…
you’re not just supporting a small business —
You’re trusting me with something that matters.
And that means everything to me đź’ś
✨ A Little Thank You

From the bottom of my heart.
Our wee trio will continue to not just survive… but thrive 💜
