I honestly thought I had already featured Miss Maia McDonald prior as she is one of my favorite pinners and the fave pinner of about 1.8 million more. I went through my archives and unless I am totally losing my marbles (possibility) I have not had her as a curator before, for shame.  Maia even with all her Pinterest popularity still feels like a ‘find’.  She has over 20,000 pins to choose from, so if you decide to visit make sure you give yourself lot’s of time to spend at her boards as you will want to re-pin the majority of them, truly. Maia is also the art director at Rue taking the reins over for Bree of Design Love Fest, which make her interior boards a thrill to peruse through. Maia’s Bedroom Dreams with their beautiful white beds and creamy light just make me want to re-arrange my entire bedroom (again). Another board that has me inspired is her Office Spaces, just simple style that can be easily achieved.  A known foodie her food boards will have your mouth watering. Visit Maia, but I am warning you now that you will may be there a while…

And on another note, I wanted to thank you all for the kind thoughtful comments you left yesterday, it was not easy for me to admit a bit of defeat, but I am very happy to have a wonderfully supportive community that would be willing to take the time to write me such heart warming sentiments, it means a lot to me and is greatly appreciated.

I am fanatical when it comes to photographer Alice Gao.  She is such an outrageously talented individual that it seems unfair for one person to be in possession of such skill.  Aren’t convinced?  Check out her rockstar Instagram feed, it will blow.your.mind. Alice’s pinterest boards don’t disappoint either, she has a love for blooms and you will find them throughout all her boards in beautiful unexpected ways like that gorgeous wallpaper on the bottom right, I don’t even like wallpaper and this just sends me. Her love for food is obvious and I could be wrong but it looks like she may be working on opening a culinary inspired shop with her Provisions board. I hope you visit her boards and fall in love with her as much as I have.

P.S. Alice also has a great blog that is a visual pleasure and you can live vicariously through all her stunning images.

Please allow me introduce to you today’s Pinterest curator the charmant Susan Hutchinson of Fleurishing blog. Susan–blog authoress, francophile, interior designer and mother to the beau et belle Henry & Marie (twins!). I have been wanting to do a bebe centric curator post but not the traditional kind that leaves you all tooth achey. I wasn’t planning on Susan’s being the one, but she does have the best taste when it comes to the littles. Her nursery for her twins is one of my all time favorites, it’s subtle + sophisticated but still age appropriate; it is an instant pin. I also have a soft spot for her little Yorkie Billy and she thankfully has a board dedicated to him. Susan has a great ‘inspiring spaces’ board, which I am probably going to be re-pinning most of (if I haven’t already).  I am loving this kitchen, this dining room, this kids art idea, you get the idea, now you get to pinning. Enjoy your time with Susan’s boards as much as I have, you can visit her here.

P.S. Susan is celebrating her 3 year blog anniversary and giving away some amazing prizes of some of her favorite things, perhaps you would like to help her celebrate and see if lady luck is on your side?

P.P.S. Thank you for all your feedback on the paint. I am so lucky to have such smart + clever individuals visit me!

It’s so nice to be back!  It was such a treat to be able to use high-speed internet to do my Pinterest Curator post, formerly living in the country my internet speed was as fast as using an abacus, dial-up would have been faster (and much appreciated).  These posts used to take inordinate amounts of time to put together. Today I was able to scour curator Jeremy Pruitt’s boards as easily as a hot knife to butter. It was almost magical, scratch that, it was magical. I realized when I was choosing today’s curator that I have never featured a boy/male before, but I really don’t know a lot of pinners of the male persuasion but I do know that Jeremy’s boards are awe-to-the-some.  I am not even going to choose favorite boards, because I want you to take a peek at them all.  Yes, they run a bit masculine, but they are also filled with tons of great packaging, typography and okay, a bit of a fave a board dedicated to young Clint Eastwood (hubba hubba). I hope you like my choice for today, but no worries if you don’t it seems I can pull one of these curator posts together now in about 5 secs flat, so I should be compiling them about eight feet high and we shouldn’t run out any time soon.

Tomorrow I have a very special lettering artist interview, so if you have been missing those I think you will be very happy to see who will be featured.

P.S. If you want to suggest a curator (yourself included) just leave a comment or if you are shy shoot me an email.  I always go visit them!

It’s always interesting to me discovering a Pinterest curator that goes beyond the norm of pin collecting.  The ‘norm’ to me being the basics-Fashion, Interior, Food, Beauty + D.I.Y. those seem to be on everyone’s board but today’s curator Jennifer W. has oddly interesting boards like the one dedicated to the Kraken or her On Wings. I was especially taken with her Books & Libraries being the bibliophile that I am I couldn’t get enough of her collection and promptly added many to own my Library Lust board (which is in desperate need of more library visual infusions). I also loved her Showroom & Display which makes me want to open a brick & mortar shop like yesterday. I hope you enjoy getting lost in her sea of curiosities as I have. Her favorite color orange inspired the color theme today, I’m not much for color but orange is definitely a happy one don’t you think?
