Jennifer Squires Productions Poppytalk Table

We’re up and running on Poppytalk! Have you heard of them? Poppytalk is:

A monthly online street market curated by Poppytalk to showcase, buy and sell handmade goods of emerging design talent from around the world.

Based in Vancouver, where the olympics are currently being held, this month’s theme is “International Arts + Crafts Fair”. So we’ve stocked our page with lots of lovely images from around Ontario and also one or two from Greece.

Pop on over and have a peek at our Poppytalk virtual table, we’d love to hear what you think!

get ‘em while they’re hot (and inexpensive)

kettle point #1

Kettle Point #1, 8×10 inch minimalist seascape photograph

Kettle Point #1 has been hangin’ around our studio for a few months now while we’ve been dreaming up something fun to do with it, much like we did with Elviage pearl. And I think we have great idea!

On Tuesday February 16th, 2010 at 5:00 pm EST we’ll be listing Kettle Point #1 in our shop for the absurdly low price of $5. Then, when that first print sells the price will increase to $6, and will continue to go up by $1 each time one is sold. Does that sound like fun or what?

Stay tuned to our blog for more information next week!

smitten kitchen

smitten kitchen

Where do you go when you’re looking for a great new version of an old recipe? Lately I’ve been turning to Smitten Kitchen, a great resource for recipes and other food-like how to’s. Plus her photography is gorgeous too, which is a big deal for me.

I think the first thing I ever made from her site were her Cheese Straws, and let me tell you, they were very popular. A wonderful balance of savoury, salty, and slightly hot – a combination I believe that could lead to much tomfoolery when accompanied by a nice stout. Lately I find myself looking at her bread, brownie, and red velvet cake recipes, I can’t wait to try them all!

Where do you turn when you’re looking to put something new on the table?
