POPPYSHOP

NOVEMBER 25TH, 2008

POPPYSHOP

One too many rum eggnogs made you miss the One of a Kind Show and a fight with the flu meant you couldn’t crawl out of bed for the Eastside Culture Crawl either.

There’s no reason you can’t still get your hands on something handmade.

Poppytalk Handmade is a choice collection of handcrafted goods—from dishware to jewellery—curated by Vancouver blogger Jan of Poppytalk. Like a virtual Portobello market, the site showcases select artisans and designers every month from near and abroad with links direct to their Etsy shops. Just launched, its hefty Holiday Market is chock-full of fancies.

Among our favourites featured: Torontonian Miss Crowland’s custom silhouettes ($8-$95), Jen Khoshbin’s hunting trophies made of patterned paper ($345), Alicia Bock’s painterly pictures ($5-$45) and Alyssa Ettinger’s porcelain pottery that looks exactly like knitwear ($39-$150).

You promised to hand make gifts this year. This is your loophole.

The Holiday Market runs now until December 12th.
