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?

I don’t know much about today’s curator Theresa L. except that she is a great curator.  I do know she has a large following of over 700K+ followers on Pinterest (wow!), but I still think she is under the radar enough that you will be pleasantly surprised to be introduced to her!  I have a few favorite boards of hers that I think you may like as well, her Camera Love board has a beautiful mix of both cameras and their photographers, it was hard to choose which image to use for the graphic, I almost made the entire piece dedicated to this board, that’s how many images I found inspiring. Angel Kisses is a board dedicated to freckles, since I am a freckle fan I find this board to be quite charming. Her Globular Sensation has some great finds that include both globes and maps, I really loved this one, this one and this one.

Speaking of globes, I do believe I have two vintage ones that need to be shipped to new homes.  I always have such fun reading your answers to the questions, I am probably going to end up using everyone’s recommendations for our trip, it is going to be four long days of driving so I think I will need them! The winners are Courtnie (very sweet story) and Bethany, congrats to you both!

P.S. Sorry for the delayed post, out here in the country the internet is hit & miss, unfortunately lately it has been more miss than hit.

I started working on another curator this afternoon, but kept on getting distracted by Elle Moss and her updated pins. It was to the point that I found myself falling down the rabbit hole of her Wonderland-like world that I finally just surrendered and decided to build this magical collection for today.  Magical is definitely a word I would reserve for someone like photographer Elle Moss, her self-portraits which have been featured all over the blogosphere and beyond have that sprinkling of magic & wonder to them that is reflected in her choice of pins. She has an affinity for the turn of the century but there’s also a mod streak throughout, which you wouldn’t think could coincide but she manages to make them do just that. If you are up for a bit of fairytale with your haute couture, then check out Elle Moss. And just for good measure since she has 100 boards (!) I have taken the liberty to note some of my favorites which are: It’s just so pretty, dream in pictures and it’s oh so quiet. I hope you find something on her many boards to tickle your fancy!
