It's up!

The new Poppytalk Handmade market place running from today until July 15th is online! We are thrilled to be a part of it, especially since there are so many great artists in this exhibition. Here are some of my favorites:


 I love this lounge chair from Gallant and Jones. They have so many beautiful fabric choices.


Jim and I have spoken at length about our deep desire to make lampshades and hanging lights. Sasha and Elisabeth set a high standard in this category. I love these.



Some of you may (or may not) know that I studied fine art at Carnegie Mellon University. The paintings featured by artist Samantha French take me back to late nights in the attic of the Fine Arts building there. I love these paintings, and I wish I had several of them at home to remind my of summer as we are huddled down during Chicago winters.

An Exciting Week!

We have had lots of fun and exciting moments this week, both little thrills and new opportunities. Firstly, a little thrill. 

Our business cards arrived. I LOVE them! The front of the cards are simple and business cardy, but the backs show a slew of different designs:




Secondly, we were accepted into the Poppytalk Handmade summer market "Here Comes the Sun" which begins on Monday and runs through mid-July. YIPPY! Our Loop Chain bags got us into the market, but we are able to add these two new prints as well, and we hope everyone likes them. They are available for purchase on Etsy.




We are so pleased to be a part of the wonderful art and design communities of Etsy and Poppytalk. It is humbling to see so much talent and creativity.
