Frames

I recently came across these magnetic photo frames from CB2. What a simple but great idea. They're a nice way to add a little class and organization for all those photos you have stuck to the refrigerator.

You Are What You Pin

Have you guys gotten swept up in the Pinterest trend yet? It took me a few weeks after initially joining, but now I'm hooked! It happens a little like this.

It's such a simple way to save, organize and share inspiring images you come across during your daily web surfing. Pinning also allows you to create a virtual wishlist, especially of things that you may only dream about purchasing.

Pinterest is such a fabulous way to see what others are inspired by. Pinners continue to share things that truly do interest them, rather than use it as a way to share things they have negative feelings about. I also feel like you can sense a fair amount of person's personality and taste in the images they pin, which naturally gets my gears going. Especially for the pinners I follow that I don't know or don't know very well, it's a creative space to get to know them better and vice versa.

However, a word of caution to the pin-happy, despite recent changes to their terms of service, Pinners are still responsible for the content they pin. That means, if you pin a copyrighted image without permission, you are liable, not Pinterest.

I mostly follow other Pinners rather than pin myself, but if you're curious, you're welcome to follow my Pinterest here.

Happy (responsible) Pinning!
