Pinterest Plug

Some of you may recall that a few weeks ago I mentioned the fabulous (albeit addicting) website, Pinterest.  I only recently found out about Pinterest, and although I am quite wary of just one more technological Facebookish time sucker, I have to admit that I’ve been pleasantly surprised by the Pin.  In a nutshell, you create virtual idea boards and save inspirational photos to them.

For example, if you’re in the market to decorate a nursery, you might head over to Pinterest and “pin” ideas from their website to your idea board, or you might simply be browsing the internet when suddenly you happen across an amazing photo of a nursery that you just love!  Click on the photo, click your “pin” icon, and whalaa, the photo is saved to your nursery idea board where you can access it anytime.  But this site isn’t just about decorating or home inspiration.  Travel, fashion, arts n’ crafts, food…those are just a few of the categories.  And the food photos…mmm.  Let’s just say it’s better if you check it out yourself: Pinterest. You’ll be required to ask for an invitation to join (no idea why), but in a week or two you’ll see an invite in your inbox and you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about.  Let me know what you think!

Check out a few photos that I’ve been inspired by lately!  And yes, these are neatly tucked away on my Pinterest idea boards.
