The World of Blogging!

Hot Off the PRESS!!

Recently in the Stanwood Camano News, writer Jennifer Kelly wrote an article titled Shopping Stanwood. We wanted to share with you a portion of what she wrote.

“At Poppyseeds, across 98th Drive from Jimmy’s next to SR 532, I met the Cookie Mill lady, Julie, who opened the store with Marybeth. It is a beautiful little store with a Parisian feel, filled with antique furniture and gifts for the home as well as lovely jewelry and purses. I bought “the girls” earring and necklace sets there, as well as sweet smelling soap (and some lotion for me!).”

Cheers! Here is to a great 2009!!

We would like to thank all of our dear Customers and Vendors for our first year at Poppysseeds. We are looking forward to fun shopping and Swap Meets in 2009. We have lots of exciting things planned including a new Paris Flea Market Style inspired decor.

Mark your calendars for April 18th when we kick off our first Swap Meet for the year.

Winter is such a beautiful time of year. Thought you might enjoy seeing Poppyseeds covered with fresh white powder.

We love to bake and wanted to share this picture of Peppermint Brownies with you. They are easy, and so yummy. Just use your favorite brownie recipe and top with a cream cheese peppermint frosting. We sprinkled crushed candy canes on top. They are always a hit!!
