*3 special things i wanted to mention today!

1}  Poppytalk Handmade is featured on DAILY CANDY today!! wow!! check it out!

*super great interview with stephanie on poppytalk today too!! head on over and see it!* 

2}  a few weeks ago i mentioned that i was going to be interviewed for a magazine soon.  well, the interview went well, the artwork has been shipped off and the magazine(s) will be coming out this fall!!  

and drumroll.... for those of you who were asking - it's CLOTH PAPER SCISSORS magazine!  

(i am still leaving out a tiny bit of a surprise... but you'll see this fall)

3}  I will be participating in a new and exciting art fair this fall back home in massachusetts.  It's called the TWIST FAIR and I am so happy to be a part of it!  It's being run by some great folks from Northampton and one of the many great sponsors of the fair is ETSY.  I have lots to get working on!  

So that's the news from me today~  I am having a perfect day so far... treats and sweet presents and friends to visit with.  Later today you will find me doing more of this!  then off to dinner with friends and my dear pal is making me a birthday cake.    I hope you are having a lovely day, thanks for visiting me here!  xo,  *s
