Pinterest People

I have to be honest, I joined Pinterest over a year ago as part of the launch project Pin It Forward and my first board was centered around 'What Home Means to Me'. At the time, though neat, it was a bit lonely around there, the pin it button installation was tricky on my multiple computers and I gave up as sort of a more trouble than it's worth situation. Lately though (actually it could have been ages ago) the pin it button advanced making it super easy to pin from the various computers I use and I'm now one thousand percent addicted.

Are you a Pinterest person? Let's share inspiration!
And while we're at it, let's connect on Facebook & Twitter, too.

Also, I wanted to say thank you for all your kind words on my last outfit post. It really meant the world to me. I'm a bit behind in responding to some of your inquiries but I promise to be in touch! Thanks again sweethearts, have a lovely weekend!

What Home Means to Me

Today I'm taking part in Pin It Forward - a blogger mashup organized by the awesome Victoria at SFGirlbyBay.  The theme is 'What Home Means to Me' and I could go on about this for days. The truth is, for me, it's not about a physical location filled with stuff, but where my heart is.

I grew up in the country. When I'm there, I want a farmhouse with goats and a garden.

I live in the city. When I'm here, I want a high rise condo with a door man and a lake view.

But I feel most at home surrounded by laughter and love. When I'm with darling family and friends it doesn't matter what location I reside. My heart is already home.

That being said, I have to lay my head somewhere so here's what makes a house a home for me:

A front porch with rocking chairs

A zebra rug because it makes life feel fabulous

A calming bedroom where I can read and relax

Books - for browsing, for storing memories, for scraps of life

Fresh flowers, yellow is good :)
2 sweet black kitties

I complied my favorite images using Pinterest - its the easiest way to keep track of inspiration, build wish lists, and gather ideas for future reference. See my original board here.

Thanks to Bobbi's Art for passing the torch and now I'm sending you on to Apple Blue for tomorrow's post!
