It is housed in the Museum of Unnatural History in the Columbia Heights. 826DC is the newest of eight national chapters across the US. (You may be familiar with their other branches housed in: the Pirate Supply store in San Francisco, Time Travel Mart in LA, Super Hero Supply store in Brooklyn, Boring Store in Chicago, Space Travel Store in Seattle, the Big Foot Research Center in Boston, or the Robot Supply Store in Ann Arbor.) If you're ever in the neighborhood, stop by the store and pick up a bottle of unicorn tears or a bottle of utter darkness. Dillon volunteers there part time, so you can say hello to her too! Check them out on <a href="https://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=222735801113689#%21/826DC">facebook</a>.<br /><br />For their first anniversary, 826DC is celebrating and fundraising for the entire month of October. They've set a fundraising goal of raising $826 per day throughout the month of October. Please <a href="https://donate.826dc.org/page/contribute/826dcturnsone">help them meet their goal</a> so the children of Washington, DC have a bright, shiny future!<br /><br />Love,<br /><br /><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Poppi</span></span> Girls<br /><br />Dillon is in charge of the baking of the cake - its going to be a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"><span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">REEALLY</span></span> big cake!

We've been busy pumping out a bunch of new work, but we miss you guys so I decided to combine a few of my favorite things--my iphone 4 hipstamatic camera, bright happy jewelry, the outdoors, and pictures of myself-- and say hello.<br /><br />I wanted to show you a few of the things we've been working on... We're getting ready to add a bunch of new pieces to the website <a href="http://www.poppishop.com/">www.poppishop.com</a> but *spoiler alert* here is a little sneak peek...<br /><br />I'm wearing a pair of twisted earrings made of vintage lucite and sterling silver, and three (that's right, THREE--go big or go home) of my favorite new poppi rings.<br /><br />The red petal ring is called "Rough Night" because it is a combination of reds and looks like my half-worn-off lipstick after a rough night of waiting tables (By the way, thank you for supporting poppi so I can make jewelry instead of waiting tables. Seriously. I hate waiting tables.)<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iEcRzSvLRx0/TMmmGQ7UuUI/AAAAAAAAAhg/5-SIPDqccfI/s1600/Blog+3"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 239px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_iEcRzSvLRx0/TMmmGQ7UuUI/AAAAAAAAAhg/5-SIPDqccfI/s320/Blog+3" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533136243754580290" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The xlg multi-colored ring in the middle is called "Murano" because it reminds us of the amazingly beautiful, bright, brilliant colors of stained glass that Dawn and I saw when we visited Italy. (Dawn's baby brother lives in Naples and I studied abroad in Rome...)<br /><br />The bottom ring is called "Fish Tank." I am the lone poppi girl who isn't a "dog person," (that's a whole other blog post) but I do love fish. When I was in college, one of my friends was moving and couldn't take his pet fish, a South American Cichlid, so he gave it to me. Of course, I thought my new fishy needed a few friends, so I upgraded and got a bigger tank and got him some buddies. I didn't realize, however, that there would be a love connection and the next thing I know, I've got one hundred tiny little baby fish and some kind of crazy full on guerrilla war between the mom and dad and other fish in the tank (for the record, Cichlid males have some seriously poor parenting skills).<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iEcRzSvLRx0/TMmn6_irWnI/AAAAAAAAAh4/3moGhoGCj7A/s1600/Fish"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_iEcRzSvLRx0/TMmn6_irWnI/AAAAAAAAAh4/3moGhoGCj7A/s200/Fish" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533138249132497522" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Long story short, I ended up spending a huge chunk of my student loans on more and more tanks and gravel and little castles and a huge amount of time cleaning all these tanks during breaks between classes and the aforementioned dreaded crabhouse restaurant shifts (where I, ironically, served fish all night long). I was always a little hesitant to clean the tanks, though, because I love the colors and patterns of algae that grew on the walls of the glass. I had to finally get rid of all my tanks (and pass them on to some other sucker) but I think of my old pets often and fondly when I wear this ring.<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAU-pagW5ceH4TwGt801epCxqMAINCly7UZ_jrwXpwxJW1ufFGJE2QlZnAh07U9xpKZxDgWQb9fxFbpAdG9XEzlmU7Szr5AFhj0AUAqbxfe4aB2imZ8A3MJtr0N2Ct0fgz8H5mbbTqdvY/s1600/Blog+2.jpg"><img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 194px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiAU-pagW5ceH4TwGt801epCxqMAINCly7UZ_jrwXpwxJW1ufFGJE2QlZnAh07U9xpKZxDgWQb9fxFbpAdG9XEzlmU7Szr5AFhj0AUAqbxfe4aB2imZ8A3MJtr0N2Ct0fgz8H5mbbTqdvY/s320/Blog+2.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5533137258409032962" border="0" /></a>Anyway, we hope you guys enjoy all the new stuff we've been putting our little hearts and soul into lately.

I am stoked about this.<br />
I have already, with the help of my secret agent graphics girl, gotten a kick ass, in-house marketing brochure together. I have decided to go with the whole Torpedo Factory theme and titled it "Bombs Away" I am hoping to get everyone in the building excited, hopeful and empowered to take control of their own destiny and success.<br />
Last Friday I gave a workshop on using <a href="http://www.facebook.com/#%21/pages/Alexandria-VA/Poppi-Shop/134172093262522?ref=ts&__a=11&ajaxpipe=1"><span class="goog-spellcheck-word">Facebook</span></a> to promote yourself, your art and hopefully, improve your business. I was totally surprised at the number of people who attended. From what I can tell, it was really well received and people seem excited. <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">YAY</span>!<br />
Anyway... I am excited to get a chance to test some of my material that I will be using this fall at <span class="goog-spellcheck-word">Towson</span>....poppigirlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16475252989721787301noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6403047059079901454.post-3801745608520943392010-06-30T01:01:00.001-04:002010-07-09T01:03:10.424-04:00Ohmy!!
