Lovely Links – All About Pinterest.

Have you heard of pinterest? If you follow me on twitter you will have heard me tweet about how much I adore pinterest, and about how addictive it is and how much of a time suck it can be! I’d happily spend the rest of my days ignoring the world and just pinning lovely things from the interwebs.

Pinterest, for those who have not yet tasted the poison apple, is kind of like having a giant virtual pin board. A pin board where you can save or ‘pin’ anything you find on the internet, and if you use the iphone app you can also pin photos! And what’s even better, you can share your virtual pin board with everyone else and you can check out what everyone else has been pinning and pin it on your own baord if it takes your fancy. You can add a little note, or even leave a comment for a friend, and pinterest automatically links your pin back to the web site you saved it from… genius!

As you can see from my pins above, I’ve been drooling over spring gardens in the middle of our freezing miserable weather and pinning lots of gardening inspiration, as well as a few crafty ideas, some recipes, some party ideas and… Oh who am I kidding? I pin a lot of things… all the time. I am well and truly addicted.

You can follow people on pinterest in much the same way as you do on twitter. You can find my pins here – @KateFairlie. Some other pinners that I enjoy following are Crafty Mummy, Amanda Brandum, and Royanna Hohl Fritschmann.

You need to be ‘invited’ to join Pinterest, so if you would like to loose hours and hours of your time while pinning images of things you would love to do, but never will, because you spend all your time on pinterest and don’t have time for anything else…. if that sounds like heaven to you, let me know and I’ll hook you up with the drug that is Pinterest.
