We’re gearing up for a few things this weekend. The Canadian Thanksgiving shows
up on Monday, as does our next market,“Indie Love”, in appreciation for all things
independent and handmade. October also marks the One Year Anniversary of Poppytalk Handmade!

And we’re feeling gratitude, not unlike any other day, but we are expressing our thanks especially this week, to you, our readers. We appreciate your visit each and every day, and we’re honoured you stop by. We’ve been doing this since the spring of ‘05 and are inspired each and every day by the beauty that surrounds us, . We are thrilled to know there are like-minded folks out there who join us in our journey to seek out the beautiful, the decayed and the handmade.

Today also marks the last day of the Mixed Tape market at Poppytalk Handmade. We had fun with this one, enjoying all the variety of handmade and vintage goods from around the world. Monday meets us with a new fresh market here and can hardly wait to share our list of vendors with you. We hope to see you then and have a fabulous Canadian Thanksgiving weekend!
