"My aim is to put down on paper
what I see and what I feel in the
best and simplest way."
~Ernest Hemingway
I love collecting pictures. I have them in boxes, files, folders, scattered on the floor, framed on my walls, and you have seen how much I love to make inspiration scrapbooks so full with images of beautiful things that you can hardly turn the pages. Pictures - whether they are photographs or artwork - inspire and uplift me. I have seen so many photographs of pinboards and moodboards and gorgeous collages that people have made and displayed in their homes. I have wanted to make one for myself for a long time! This has been my little project for the past month - because of course I didn't just want to go to the office supplies store and come home with a plain corkboard. No no it had to be pretty and feminine and completely me! I bought an antique frame and some pretty fabric to hide the corkboard and I have been collecting pictures and baubles and pretty pins for a few weeks! This is the result - my pretty pinboard...

ReplyDeleteI'm almost speechless. You have not only found a lovely--and oh-so-clever--way to display a few of your favorite pictures and other paper pretties, as well as the sweet little frames, bits of jewelry, and ribbon, you have also managed to create a beautiful work of art in its own right!
ReplyDeleteOh, and thank you for all of the gorgeous photos that accompanied this post! *swoons*

Haha! Thankyou so much for your lovely words! I actually had a hard time picking which photos to post - there were so many and I am always afraid that my posts are a tad too photo overwhelming :)

Oh, I love this frame and your display! It reminds me of what I have in my head for a memory box, it has been in my head for about 20 years! But it is gradually coming to fruition.This is inspiration to me!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely!
hugs,
Betsy
Oh......I just love this! I've got several vintage frames......and gobs of little 'treasures' to display in them in a way similar to yours......Thanks so much for inspiring me!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love it! You did a beautiful job! I have so many beautiful treasures I've collected that I want to display, and in searching Pinterest for inspiration your board is by far the prettiest I've seen! Im working on something a little bit different, but I'm curious as to how you attached the heavy items like the little frames?
ReplyDeleteThankyou so much for your kind words! I used pins to attach everything even the frames! If it was a little bit heavier I put a pin at the top and the bottom. Good luck with your project!
