Green Pop! at Poppytalk Handmade
Poppytalk Handmade is a monthly online marketplace curated by Jan of Poppytalk to showcase, buy and sell handmade goods of emerging designers from around the world. Each month has a different theme and you’ll find an eco-themed market on now until April 11th. I’ve mentioned before that this site is a good place for retailers to find new designers. But admittedly you often will not find many items for children. However, the next market opening on April 14th is a Mother’s Day and Kids Market! In the meantime, here are a few of my favorites from Green Pop! that fall in the realm of kids design.
First up is some decor items suitable for children’s spaces. A Little Hut offers limited edition hand cut paper illustrations. I also love this print of original acrylic and mixed media painting by Creative Thursday. Reiter8 makes pillows and other items from recycled sailboat sails!
If you are looking for gift items, I think Annie and Olive’s wool felt heart pendant would make a nice present for a special girl. Just slide the pendant onto a ribbon or chain using the sliver ring tucked into the top of the heart. And of course I have to include my own Sweetbeets letterpress cards for welcoming a new baby or celebrating a child’s birthday.
