Pinterest leads me to all sorts of new and fabulous blogs like rag rug. A blog from Finland with the most unusual and artistic photographs. It is jam packed with inspiration and drool worthy vignettes.

This time of year is for nesting. I stay indoors a lot and my pinterest obsession is in full gear. Here’s what I’m pinning now – in preparation for the shorter days to follow and just because!

What a delicious recipe – whole grain pumpkin pancakes with apple maple compote.

Random inspiration. Imagine super imposing a nature painting on your photo.Butterflies are often so vibrant with colour. This photo allows us to notice the gentle fragility of their wings. So lovely.
The view from below the trees. A photographer’s perspective shot becomes a powerful reminder of nature’s architecture.

Standard wire hangers lovingly covered in vintage paper. It’s the details that count.

Tattoo inspired artwork? Shapes and patterns merge to create art.The wall adds whimsy to this old school washroom. Love the patina on the mirror and chair.

I stumbled upon this image and caption on Pinterest and it immediately caught my attention. I hope you have a good laugh to kickstart a great weekend!

This is what I do all day when I’m not pinning. 😉

I’ve noticed that lately when I pin something on pinterest, it’s usually either feminine and pretty or the total opposite – dark and dramatic. Do you ever go back and look at some of your pins and notice anything about yourself through the images you choose?

All images can be found on my pinboards. Follow me!

Do you pin?

I recently joined Pinterest, a virtual pinboard, to create a mood board for inspiration. There are so many beautiful images and products to discover! I’m finding other blogs that I never would have stumbled upon otherwise. I love Pinterest and I highly recommend that you check it out!

This is the board I created for my “kitchen inspiration”. I’m going to paint my kitchen very soon and add accessories. When I see an image I like on the internet, I “Pin” it. Now I know what to add to my shopping list, instead of wandering around the store aimlessly. I am on a mission now!

Here is a roundup of some stunning black and white photography that Lauren from ELLEBY DESIGN pinned. Her taste mirrors my own and thanks to Pinterest, I now follow her fabulous blog.
