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.

Swiss Miss blogged "The Hiding Place" [via Stork Bites Man], a 1998 art installation by Bjørn Bjarre.
The artist says, "I made a kind of over sized fantasy-reproduction of a teenager hut, the one I was never allowed to keep for a very long time in the basement of my parents' house. The fantasy involved stealing the furniture from my parents and re-arranging them the way I pleased, filling the interior with activities to eliminate boredom. I wanted the construction to function as a free area of escape and nostalgia, a chill-out zone for the eternal teenager within..." Read More »- Let’s talk: Comment (2) | Blog
