Continuing with our efforts to showcase the best and brightest design blogs out there, we feature today the lovely Poppytalk. Run by a husband and wife team out of Canada,
Poppytalk is much more than just a blog of great home décor finds; it’s also a business celebrating lovely and handmade things!
Based out of Vancouver, Jan and Earl have an impressive combined background. As a designer and instructor, Earl works in the world of new media, and Jan gets creative with graphic design. Together, they blog about gorgeous home wares, cutting edge technologies, inspiring home design ideas, people who are making waves in the design world and more. You’ll find all these things in cleverly written and titled posts that showcase their shining personalities.
What Jan, Earl and Poppytalk really excel at, though, is promoting handmade talent around Canada and the world.
Poppytalk Handmade is a separate business and website dedicated to showcasing the arts and crafts of handmade artists. The website is curated—meaning that not just anyone can get on the site—so you know quality will always be exceptional.
Taken from their website: “Our market provides emerging designers and artists an opportunity to connect with consumers, retail buyers, stylists, personal shoppers and the press. It was launched after we noticed how difficult it was to find good designed work within the sea of online shops.”
It’s hard to choose what to say we love about both Poppytalk Handmade and the Poppytalk blog; we love a lot of it. We love the way the blog and website are organized and look: both are clean, sleek, easy-to-follow but full of personality. We love the diversity of blog posts and new listings at Poppytalk Handmade. We love the way in which items are presented to readers.
Not surprisingly, we’re not the only ones who love Poppytalk. They’ve been featured in tons of online and print publications, like Domino Magazine, Canadian House and Home, the Times Online, Dwell, Australia’s Real Living Magazine, Nylon Magazine, Apartment Therapy, House and Garden and tons, tons more. We highly recommend you check out both the blog and the website, but be prepared: you’re going to love everything you see!
