10 IKEA Must-Have Accessories!

Image from Livet Hemma featuring their new KVILL picture frames.

Now that all the dust has settled and I’ve had a bit of time to take in the new 2012 IKEA catalog, I’ve collected a little nice must-have list from the accessories department.  There truly is some good stuff this year folks and I can hardly wait to pick some of these up myself.  Wish I had a slideshow option to show you here at Poppytalk (but blogger doesn't have that), so in the meantime, check out my must-have list today at Babble HERE.

A Beautiful Villa Wedding in Marbella

We are loving these photos of one of our weddings last week in a private villa near San Pedro.



Our thanks to a super speedy Anna, the photographer, for sharing these photos with us so quickly!



Nicola was one of our creative brides that had worked hard to put together so many details before her wedding day and it was all beautifully done, from the table names set in white antique frames for each guest to the gorgeous decorations Nikki had created to decorate the venue and villa. We worked with Nikki to turn the gardens and pool area into a magical, twinkling romantic garden, provided parasols and waved our magic wand to sprinkle petals over the ceremony area :)



Nikki had bought in her own bouquets, aisle dressings and details to complete her perfect day and we were delighted to work with her to fill in the gaps that were completely impossible to fit in her suitcase!



We are thrilled to share these photos with you of one of our villa weddings and thanks to Heather and her team at Fiestasol this was a fantastically run and caterered for day.



Our big thanks of course to Anna for sharing these delightful photos with us.

New Video: Missoni for Target

Have you heard enough of the new Missoni for Target collection yet? It's been all over the blogosphere, but I hadn't mentioned it here yet, and then ran into this video.  Do you like what you see? (Via Happy Mundane).

Fruit Stands and Wine - A B.C. Road Trip

Hello everyone! Janis here, from Pinecone Camp. I just did a little road trip up to the Okanagan, and through B.C. wine country (about 5 hours from Vancouver and Seattle), and I have to say, it was difficult to get back to work! Such a beautiful part of Canada. The only desert area in Canada too, fyi. I shot this story with my Canon, iPhone and old kodak duaflex. Fun to experiment and compare. Here we go...

We started out our first day at this diner, Elite, in Penticton. No frills, but cheap and pretty tasty. 

A view from Munson Mountain in Penticton.

Forest Green Lavender Man, in Naramata, is a beautiful place to check out before you hit the wineries. 

Poplar Grove was one of my favourite wineries. Fantastic wine and the staff were so helpful and informative. Beautiful building and the view was amazing. 

This area is great for vintage shopping as well. We checked out Zack's in Olalla, and Jardin Antiques in Okagnagan Falls. I actually picked up the coffee cups pictured, as I have a small collection of this print and they were only .50 each. Love a deal. 

The Oliver theatre in Oliver BC. I'm so happy it's still there. For more info about this fabulous small town, click here.

Another must-see winery is Tinhorn Creek in Oliver. Miradoro is their new restaurant - definitely the best meal we had on the trip. Loved their wine too ;)

Back in Naramata, we found our new favourite fruit stand, The Trail, where you can pick your own organic corn, plums, peaches and apples. Jean Hollett and her uncle, Rod, know their produce! Very cute duo.

If you do visit B.C., I hope you can take a little tour through this part of the province. Countless fabulous, and award winning, wineries, endless orchards, great vintage shops, and beautiful lakes. Breathtaking.

Have a lovely day!
