My Pinboard

"My aim is to put down on paper
what I see and what I feel in the
best and simplest way."
           ~Ernest Hemingway

    I love collecting pictures. I have them in boxes, files, folders, scattered on the floor, framed on my walls, and you have seen how much I love to make inspiration scrapbooks so full with images of beautiful things that you can hardly turn the pages. Pictures - whether they are photographs or artwork - inspire and uplift me. I have seen so many photographs of pinboards and moodboards and gorgeous collages that people have made and displayed in their homes. I have wanted to make one for myself for a long time! This has been my little project for the past month - because of course I didn't just want to go to the office supplies store and come home with a plain corkboard. No no it had to be pretty and feminine and completely me! I bought an antique frame and some pretty fabric to hide the corkboard and I have been collecting pictures and baubles and pretty pins for a few weeks! This is the result - my pretty pinboard...

  4. I'm almost speechless. You have not only found a lovely--and oh-so-clever--way to display a few of your favorite pictures and other paper pretties, as well as the sweet little frames, bits of jewelry, and ribbon, you have also managed to create a beautiful work of art in its own right!

    Oh, and thank you for all of the gorgeous photos that accompanied this post! *swoons*

    1. Haha! Thankyou so much for your lovely words! I actually had a hard time picking which photos to post - there were so many and I am always afraid that my posts are a tad too photo overwhelming :)

    This is the loveliest post. It lifted my spirits. Thank you so much for your concern. We're In a quandary with our contractor. He's being a bit of a pill. Trying to look on the bright side.

  15. Oh, I love this frame and your display! It reminds me of what I have in my head for a memory box, it has been in my head for about 20 years! But it is gradually coming to fruition.This is inspiration to me!
    So lovely!
    hugs,
    Betsy

  17. I absolutely love it! You did a beautiful job! I have so many beautiful treasures I've collected that I want to display, and in searching Pinterest for inspiration your board is by far the prettiest I've seen! Im working on something a little bit different, but I'm curious as to how you attached the heavy items like the little frames?

    1. Thankyou so much for your kind words! I used pins to attach everything even the frames! If it was a little bit heavier I put a pin at the top and the bottom. Good luck with your project!
