pin my home

hands up who loves pinterest?
(hands up who is overwhelmed by pinterest?!)

hands up if this sounds familiar:
 'woah! cool!' pin.
'i LOVE that!' pin.
'what a great idea!' pin.
'wished my house looked like that!' pin.

after awhile, i started thinking, if i loved certain styles (incl mustard tights!) why not pin it for real?

here are some real life pins i've started making:



 {knitting needles & balls of wool as decoration}


 {photos displayed in preserving jars}



{wall-clusters - how many are too many?!}
and see that deer head there? that was a 50c thrift find and attached to the most hideous plastic assortment of good luck charms. i love him (now)!
have you done any real life pinning?

  7. I've been doing too much pinning and not enough doing!! Quick question ~~ do you use spray paint to 'whiten' your frames etc. I need to get some but kind of have a strange fear of the stuff! xx

  11. Ha ha i'm addicted too (phew glad it's just not me), wonderful real life pins. I have managed some in my shop, so exciting! I love the glass jars with photos, just lovely! I made some painted jars but failed to use enamel paint so it died horribly when i put water in it hehehehe.
