Okay, not really twenty years, but Pinterest is so user friendly and fascinating that it IS easy to get lost there! I just started last weekend and the fairies and I already have 11 boards, nearly 400 pins, have discovered several new creative blogs to follow and have been inspired with new ideas for art projects and jewelry designs! A sampling of the boards & treasures I have curated this week~
Magic Forest Home Decor
I grew up dreaming about faraway magic places like Rivendell and Neverland and I have determined that one day I WILL turn my home into a magic forest...
Among the things I have discovered to aid in the transformation is this fanciful Jasmin Swing from Myburgh Designs (not to mention the magical hand crafted caravan it is sitting next to;)
Gypsy Starchild Groovy Stuff Style Board
I was born a poor hippie child...well, okay not that poor, but guitars, patchouli, long hair and rainbows are some of my earliest memories. Oh yes, and I am a REAL Bohemian by birth...
On this board I am collecting things that express my style - hard to "pin" down, so it has a wide range-clothes, places etc that make my inner gypsy sparkle (why yes, I did include Johnny Depp & Jimi Hendrix on this board as well;). The beautiful ancient roses dress below was pinned by a friend who pinned it from a friend who originally found it on Sarah Froud's costume board!
Fairy Things
Some of my bestest friends are of the fae...
This is one of the first boards I started, a place in include all manner of random things fae. I had seen a photo of a gorgeous building with fairy like architecture on Facebook a few weeks ago and someone told me it was in Barcelona, Spain. When I pinned it to the board I got a comment from a fellow pinner that informed me it was by Antoni Gaudi. For a lover of all things Mucha, I was woefully under-informed about Art Nouveau Architecture, and I found that Gaudi was someone I needed to investigate further..I will be doing a post exclusively on him soon:)
Are you on Pinterest? Let me know and I will follow you~ Leave a comment below with a favorite pin or suggestion for one of my boards so I can add to the fun! I will be featuring more boards and discoveries here soon~ I can tell this is an adventure that is just beginning!
Featuring elven tiaras, ear cuffs and all manner of Celtic Renaissance headdress for weddings and magical times

Fire and Ice and 2012 Wedding Color Trends
I need to warm up to the idea of tangerine orange & aqua (blue?) as a 2012 wedding color trend. Im more of an earthy girl myself, so those colors just dont pop into my head, but the more Im exploring the idea, the more I like it. My FAEteam friend Sarah from ToadstoolsandTreestump on Etsy put together this fiery winter treasury and it reminded me how beautiful that palette can be:)
