Oh, how I love thee

Because I am a pusher. Ask my friends, they'll tell you.  I'm a really bad influence. So I'm going to share my obsession. It is a glorious thing. Pinterest. Seriously, I've become completely dependent on it as a repository for all of my ideas and flights of fancy.

On the off chance you haven't yet heard of Pinterest or you think that it is yet one more digital distraction, consider this: you already have the need for Pinterest in your life, you just don't yet know it.

You've been planning a party, a remodel of your bathroom, a new small business proposition and you bookmark this link and that,  you save photos in a file on your laptop or worse, you print them and put them in a folder or pile on your desk. Of course, you have no idea what site it came from or what that source for the perfect party supplies was. The solution? Pinterest!

It's an online inspiration board that links back to where you originally found the item.  Additionally, you can browse other people's pinboards (OPP) for new and brilliant ideas. You can make a board for anything. Your bucket list, your dream garden, all of the beautiful coops and chickens you love.

Check it out.  TODAY!!!!

  1. ah I've looked at this a few times and got some great how-to hairdos (my current favourite mode of procrastination). and then I just looked now and want this... though I can't afford it and don't need it but I would look neat dragging this around... http://www.hickorees.com/brand/heritage-leather-co/product/hickorees-special-edition-bag-312-002-navy gah. x

  2. also... I just looked at your pins (quite the chicken based collection you have there!), my parents have always had urban chickens and we used to have those black ones with big pom pom heads! (or at least they looked a lot like that. x
