Have you seen the latest market at Poppytalk Handmade? Paper Pops launched on May 10 and is all about the paper, featuring many paper goods that are being shown right this minute at the National Stationery Show. The market features so many Paper Crave favorites, and even a few that are new to me, so if you’re a paper lovin’ fool like me, Paper Pops is a must see.
