Welcome InStyle Readers!


We'd like to offer a warm welcome to any new readers who found us via the November 2010 issue of InStyle Magazine! We're totally stoked to be included in their "Best of the Web" article (Page 250) under the "Home" section under the "Blogs" category. The article reads:

"This Vancouver outfit unearths unconventionally cool designs and promotes up-and-coming artisans. Shop poppytalkhandmade.com for its themed "street market" which is updated monthly."

We've been mentioned alongside Decor8blog.com, Mochihome.com, Poetichome.com and Lovinglivingsmall.blogspot.com.

If you are new to our site, we offer special features on the subjects of Home and Garden, D.I.Y.'s; many from the talented Arounna Khounnoraj Bookhou, Janis Nicolay of Pinecone Camp and Heather Cameron of A Day in the Country; Student art finds from Will Bryant, Colourful posts from Andrea Jenkins of Hula Seventy and Eva Jorgensen of Sycamore Street Press and some delicious recipes from Jeanette Ordas of Everybody Likes Sandwiches. Also check out our Affordable Art section and one of my favourites, Weekend Projects.

Thank you InStyle and writer, Jessica Shambora! We're truly honoured!
