Follow Me

I just checked the other day and I have like 700 followers on Pinterest but I only follow like 100 people so there is obviously a disconnect somewhere.  

Pinterest has just become my favorite social media.  I feel like I keep in touch with people by looking at their pins.  My mom, sister and cousins all pin now and I have reconnected with a college friend (Hey Amber!) and kept in touch with one of my oldest friends (Love ya Jaime) via Pinterest.  

So I need to follow more people...

I thought it would be fun for everyone who is on Pinterest to answer a question and leave a link to their Pinterest page so I can start following.  Here goes...

We all pin recipes and design ideas but what is a quirky thing that you like to pin (i.e. kittens wearing glasses, a fave celebrity, etc.)?

My answer is that I have an entire board dedicated to my love of Harry Potter.  I also like pinning old school stuff like the see through Swatch phone my sister had in high school and that little calculator I had that looked like a professor with a beard.  I also have an entire board dedicated to wallpaper.  



So leave me your answer and your link so I can follow you.  Leave your email if you want me to send you an invite to Pinterest.

To say that Pintrest is an obsession is really just putting it lightly!! I started in October and cant get enough!!! FOLLOW ME at https://pinterest.com/vckelly/

I have several boards including a Wallpaper board too!! Some of my favorites are my "sisters" "table scapes" "gifts" (but that just the way gifts are wrapped not whats inside) and then i have 6 or 7 board committed to all things in particular colors like red, green, yellow, purple...#ADDICTED

I love to pin anything sea-related. Shells, seahorses, waves, sand, etc. I live at the beach & I love pins that inspire me to incorporate that fascination into decorating my apartment (and wardrobe!).
Thank you for having such a great blog. It's clear that you really care about your readers and put a lot of thought into what you're publishing, and I really appreciate it and love reading about your thoughts and experiences. Follow me on Pintrest please!!

I pin anything with an anchor. I'm obsessed. http://pinterest.com/ckb7/

Belle on Heels said...

OK, first of all, that HP pic in this post made me tear up!! I'm still going through withdrawal.

My fave quirky things to pin are: a) turtles. Love them.
b) Olivia Palermo. She just kills it with every single outfit. Pretty sure if she saw my Pinterest board she would think I was borderline stalker.

I love organizing pins for my fantasy wedding. Maybe I should focus on meeting that someone special first, haha!

Hello Lover... said...

I don't have anything too out there - I did use it for my Christmas list and emailed it my husband and parents. I also have a children's room file even though I am years away from children!

Here is my pinterest:

Shari @ turnstylevogue.com said...

I pin Beagles :) Isn't it addicting? I have to allow myself just 15 minutes to avoid getting behind in my daily work. Crazy!

I don't have anything usual that I pin but now that you have mentioned it - sounds like a fun idea so I will have to start. Right now I pin "someday" which are things I dream about. Does that count?

Leslie said...

Wow! That's a lot of people. :) I don't pin too much; just whatever I think is really pretty.

Colleen @ TwoDelighted said...

I also pin Harry Potter things! Gotta love a little magic. And pretty things like glitter, beauty hairstyles, fun DIY projects, photography stuff. I have to say that I am so impressed by how organized your Pinterest board is. My stuff is all over the place. Total disaster. I really need to get organized.

I dont think I pin anything too random except for baby things (for a baby I dont have nor have conceived yet). That is slightly weird right?

Charity Hall said...

Daisy said...

I have a whole board for rain boots :) lol too bad I live in LA!

Johanna V. said...

Will I be accused of stalking if I follow you on pinterest also? My boards are pretty run-of-the-mill (my "fullest" one has fun ideas of things to do with the kids), but I do have a board that is about books and different locations/images that remind me of certain scenes out of books I've read.

Jessica @ Lavender and Lilies said...

Johanna (aka Stalker), you can of course follow me! I am a fabulous pinner! Just kidding. I love random pin boards so nothing is too weird. The car thing is random but those are always gorgeous now that you mention it Kate. I love to pin about future things like babies and I still pin my dream wedding although I am happily married. I am storing those ideas for my unmarried friends.

Erin Goodchild said...

I pin every single cute animal picture I can find, I have an entire board dedicated to the color mint and doors.

I jumped into Pinterest about two weeks ago. I waited so long because I didn't have a facebook or twitter account, and didn't want to join either of them (I like to be off the grid in my "real" life). On my husband's suggestion, I finally broke down and set up a facebook account for my blog so I could start pinning. I am now full on addicted, and have been trying to move over inspirational photos from my blog to my pin account.

Sort of like Mrs. Limestone, I'm pinning lots of ideas for children's rooms, and I don't have any children yet! But I hope to one day.

I love pinning photos of men's fashion (well-dressed guys are always a plus!) as well as cute stuff for kids - not quirky in general, but i'm still a decade away from when I want kids! :)

I love to pin anything that has to do with SEC football. My SEC Gamedays board has more than 700 pins of tailgating fare, mascots, team traditions, etc. It's just fun! I follow you already. Would love for you to check my pins out!
