With Valentine’s Day on the horizon red, pink and white begin popping up everywhere. Some of us look on with delight, while others roll their eyes with disgust and then there are those oblivious to it all. Which ever category you fall into Poppy is the place for you this Valentine’s Day.
For those star crossed lovers you may want to check out Elizabeth Garvin’s modern spin on a classic style. Elizabeth is from New York and allows her jewelry to have free movement. 
Each piece of Elizabeth Garvin’s jewelry is uniquely designed to become part of the woman wearing it.
The featured ring would pair nicely with the necklace and earrings below. All of which can currently be found at Poppy.
For those who get that warm and fuzzy feeling every time they see someone recycle, this next featured artist is for you. A Quirk of Art is the masterpiece of Pennsylvania’s Beth Taylor. Her hand fabricated necklaces, bracelets and earrings contain recycled tin cans and brass hardware.
Beth’s mission is re-purposing found objects and allowing recycled items to find new life as quirky yet wearable jewelry.
Beth finishes some of her pieces with sweet personal messages such as, “Great is this Life, Lived by the map of My Heart” and “I Carry Your Heart in My Heart” .
The perfect gift for not only a significant other but a mother, daughter or sister.
For that special someone always on the go Jamie Cassavoy is your girl. Her use of clean lines, negative space and texture allows her work to make a statement without being over the top. You can pair her pieces with anything in your closet. It is a wonderful addition to your everyday wardrobe. Jamie resides in Atlanta, GA and hand makes each one of her pieces by cutting organic shapes out of sterling silver, fine silver, 18k Bi-metal and 18k gold. 
She accents each piece with a semi-precious stone and crystals.
Do you have that “special friend” needing the hint to be a bit more punctual?
Try a hand painted Watchcraft watch. 
Once they receive this there will be no
excuses for running late….maybe…
OK, this watch cannot work miracles but at least they’ll look good running behind.
If you are celebrating Valentine’s Day with a bunch of girlfriends come in and check out our Kay Foley Ampersand cards and narrative collages.
Kay Foley is a local artist whose “hope is that her cards will encourage others to dream and do and to expect their dreams to come true, too.”
Kay has wonderful cards and collages expressing the greatness of the single life! For instance Poppy is currently carrying a collage stating:
“Ah, single life!
Walking naked about the
house, eating whatever
one damn well pleases
& at any hour, crying
through the same movie
for the 27th time, finding
the bathroom delightfully
vacant! It’s the little things
in life that count
after all.”
Whether you’re for or against Valentines Day come in to Poppy and enjoy our artisans work. You will leave finding a smile on your face.
