It took a little while to get used to the idea of 'stealing' other people's finds - I know how thrilled it is when you finally find exactly what you are looking for on the net. But then I worked out that if 'people' - read 'me' - didn't want to have their treasures taken, they didn't have to put them up there for all the world to see, and steal.
Now, I think it is just fantastic, and a great tool for my work.
For those who might not know how it works, the principle is the same as cutting out pictures and sorting them into folders or pinning them onto a corkboard. You know - ideas for the garden if only you had one, clothes you'd like to make if only you could sew, houses you'd like to live in if only you lived in (insert favourite city). So, once you have joined up, you can search for all these things and many more, and just 'pin' them onto your board/s. Others can search for them too, and then pin them on to their boards. And they do. Very quickly !
I recently need to show a bride to be some ideas for floral decorations for church pews. I was able to find several examples from other weddings, and when she came in, I could quickly and easily show them to her.
Today I discovered the beautiful work of a Belgian-born florist living in the USA, whose name is Francoise Weeks. Her style of work is one that I am constantly trying to develop myself, and her attention to beautiful detail is outstanding.
I do make sure that I always acknowledge and give the provenance of the photo wherever possible, and hope that others do the same to my photos. These are all from her website (see below).
If you haven't looked at it before, go to Pinterest immediately.
My user name is calyflo.

Note to self: learn how to better position the photos, and find out where the cedilla is on the keyboard !

Desings in weddings doesn't only means flowers. You can also use fruits and vegetables. Nice arrangements, I should say.. =)
