The Poppytalk on the street is...

Since I owe an apology to Poppytalk on Twitter for my most confusing tweet that caused her to think Poppytalk Handmade was mentioned on the Steven and Chris show.  I'm sorry for the confusion Poppytalk on Twitter!  I hope that all 3 of my readers will now go to your site and I hope they spread the word.  signed, the willow


Here is some of the best from Poppytalk Handmade.  But you have to check back often.  They are constantly updating and introducing us to bits and pieces of the best artists out there.  Cleverly priced.  Everything is unique, stands out from the rest and these international emerging artists.  One day, I will make enough of something to actually sell on Poppytalk Handmade.  Rah!  Rah! Sis-boom-bah.

Please visit their Poppytalk blog and Poppytalk on Twitter!

Now, on to some of my favourites from Poppytalk Handmade.

The Tentacled

Lately, its all about the Kracken  (click on the link, you won't regret!), the 8 legged sea creature.  She's Ursula.  She's the blessed octopus and she calls me to her lair. (??Does she have a lair?)

While I'd love to make my own shower curtain (a secret desire of mine; an item on the "bucket list", as the mainstream like to say), I've decided to look around.  Here's what I found:
