The Poppies: People's Choice Winners

Here it is folks! The results from the polls we took this past month asking you, our readers to first, nominate your favourite artisits under certain categories, and then secondly to vote on them! It was an overwhelming response, with the idea behind it to bring awareness to and celebrate the Handmade Community! We want to thank all of you who particpated, nominated and voted, getting the word out and supporting the independent artist/shopkeeper. We plan to make this an annual event, and loved finding all these new shops and renewing acquaintances with some others we haven't visited in a while. We hope you enjoyed it as much as us! So here it is, firstly, the People's Choice winners, and then followed shortly by the Jury's Choice next. Congratulations everyone, we will be contacting you very soon!

Each 1st prize winner will receive the following:

1. A one month's free participation at Poppytalk Handmade
2. A "The Poppies (People's Choice)" banner/button for your site or blog!
3. A one year's text link from the Poppytalk blog's main page under "The Poppies" category

Please note that this poll was intended to be a vehicle to highlight handmade artist's works; we will be awarding The Poppie's (People's Choice) award to the most popular handmade artist (we will be excluding any non-handmade items where applicable).
