You're probably already familiar with the work of Poppytalk, as Jan posts regularly here on Shine (and that, of course, is one of the many reasons we love her); but there's much more to see on Poppytalk's main site. In addition to the "monthly online street market" she and her husband run, Poppytalk Handmade, she also has dedicated blog topic areas like Affordable Art, The Beautiful, The Decayed, The Handmade, and Collecting. Whether they're showing off new products and design ideas, or giving us a look into the studio spaces of artists (with interviews, to boot), the dynamic Poppytalk duo always gives us content that is beautiful and inspiring.

Here are some of my favorite highlights from this week's coverage: Rockett St. George coat rack, left

    The hand-painted tiles are nice. Are there other designs?
