A look back at 2010

Ah 2010, where did you go? Before we get too wrapped up in our schemes and dreams for 2011, we thought we'd take a look back at where we've been. (Photo above from our impromptu black & white New Year's Eve party, inspired by this.)

Inspired by Food Inc, in January one of our major resolutions was to pay more attention to where our food comes from and eat more at home. (We did pretty well with this one—this photo actually is of kale chips we made in the fall.)

We both also became more and more interested in photography in 2010, and as a result noticed a lot more of the lovely things all around us (like these prize ribbons at the Alameda Flea Market in February).

In March, we created a new altered portrait for Manifest Equality, and made a road trip to LA to see the show.

In April, we were honored to DJ the afterparty for a super-inspirational Pop-Up Magazine.

In May, Sandy participated in her first Bike To Work Day, and it quickly became a daily habit.

In June, we had some awesome summertime adventures both in and out of the city.

In July, we celebrated our 3rd wedding anniversary with a weekend trip to Santa Cruz.

In August, we paid a visit to the Scout Books booth at Renegade SF to gocco some notebooks.

In September, we celebrated a couple special birthdays: one in Tacoma and one at the always epic Palace of Fine Arts, here in San Francisco.

In October, our t-shirt for Little Paper Planes' artist series hit Target stores!

In November, Matthew's film 33 premiered at the Bicycle Film Festival in SF.

And last but not least, in December we gave our Etsy shop a little update.

We certainly feel lucky for everything we experienced last year, and are looking forward to new adventures in the year ahead!

Shop Update!

We've been hard at work updating our Etsy shop for Poppytalk Handmade's upcoming Boxing Week and Pre-Valentine's Day Market! We're especially excited to introduce our gocco grab bags, which are home-sewn in patterned fabrics and screenprinted with a vintage bicycle, and contain: a print, a notecard set, and a pocket notebook, all for $16. Quite a deal, if we do say so ourselves!

A sneak peek into one of the grab bags.

We're also excited to be offering framed prints in out shop now!

Plus we've added a bunch of button sets made from vintage wrapping paper and sheet music.

And it may seem a little early, but we've restocked our valentines too. Click here to see all the new additions!
