a new look

poppytalk has been working in the background creating a new look to create a more cohesive and organized blog dedicated to collecting inspiration and supporting emerging design talent. we've made some main categories that seem to be a constant as of late and have added a couple new ones which are not quite ready yet, (but will be soon)! so just to explain a bit for those that may not be familiar here; (under the banner, buttons from left to right):

  1. etsy pick of the day - a daily pick (monday to friday) featuring handmade or vintage pieces from etsy.com
  2. the clock - pacific standard time (here in vancouver) oops! your local time
  3. affordable art guide - affordable art found anywhere and everywhere posted randomly and labeled to this page
  4. most wanted - coming soon! (will explain soon)
  5. the beautiful - anything found anywhere that i find beautiful, posted randomly and labeled to this page
  6. the decayed - anything from street art, faded signage, found ephemera, vintage etc., posted randomly and labeled here
  7. the handmade - anything handmade and probably beautiful
  8. the mine - coming soon! (and fun!)

thanks to all of you who visit, inspire and support poppytalk, it is so much appreciated!

is that clock right? i'm in utah, which is mountain daylight time and it's 12:41 am, which is what your clock shows for pacific. i get confused about time zones though, so i could be wrong...

Sounds like some exciting new stuff is going here! Keep up the great work!

And about the clock, are you really sure that it shows pacific time? It shows 7:03 to me now, which is exactly the time here. PM that is. Is that right?

yeah - it will show local time, our mistake
