Another Way to Pin

Are you pinning on pinterest??  Us too.  Especially those inspiring pictures of projects that we want to make ourselves.  Here's another way to keep up with those pins too.  This altered book was purchased at Studio on Sixth.

Not sure what the original book was about.  Google it, and you'll find it was once a play.  A woman named Pam gave it a so-so review on her blog.  But altered, it makes a great pinning book for inspiration. Wonder what Charles Sherman would think about what we've done to his book??

Next summer's container inspiration: 

 pink mandavilla vine with a white petunia ruffle. . . 

And all kinds of ideas for the brides that have been booking The Loft.

 In years past, we "pinned" by clipping pictures and recipes from magazines.  And yes, we LoVe pinning on the computer.  But sometimes, we just want a little book to hold our ideas for us :)

Pinterest Inspiration

Gail mentioned being bitten by the pinterest bug in her last Farm Mail.  She's got a lot of company there and it's easy to see why.  Sooo many ideas to spur your own creativity!  Like this vintage display made from a set of  old bed springs  for your treasured linens.

If you'd like to follow Gail's pins, you can find them here.   Be warned--it can be addicting!  But the cure is easy--just be sure to take a few of those ideas and make something of your own :)
