I love looking for things on Pinterest but you have to watch falling in the trap of letting it keep you occupied for way too long when you have other stuff to do. So this morning, I decided to just open it up and not search for a thing. It shows you items it recommends for you when you open it so I just scrolled through the things it thought I would like and picked out the first 10 that I liked. Was on there about 5 minutes or so and found these things of interest.
I would never think about putting these colors together. But oh my, aren't they gorgeous in an afghan.
I hate ironing. I hate ironing shirts. But I do have a couple of button up the fronts that I can toss in the dryer and they are wrinkle free...except for the strip down the front between the buttons and button holes. Here's a quick fix. A flat iron. A lot easier to heat and do and a lot less aggravation than getting out the ironing board. I would recommend hanging the shirt on a hanger on your shower rod and run the curling iron down to fix the wrinkles in those hard to iron areas.
I found this interesting but also know that never in a million years would I do this. They recommend if you do not have nail polish remover, simply apply wood enamel to your fingernail and immediately wipe it off with a tissue. They say it will take the polish off. Okay, #1, if I don't have remover I sure am not going to have enamel. #2, with my luck I would put it on and get distracted and have a whole new dilemma. And #3, I would just take the same polish and polish over top the other until I could get somewhere to get remover.
Frayed ends on your tennis shoes. Dab clear nail polish on them to seal them back and keep from fraying. I have done this before. But usually by the time they fray, I need a new pair of laces anyway.
Tie up baking powder in cute sachets and place in your shoes at night to keep odor away.
This is the coolest thing ever. Some companies are making tank tops like this now with a snap inside to go around your bra strap to prevent it from showing out from under your tank top. I absolutely love tank tops, but the bras I find to wear under them that don't show are so uncomfortable and too hot which defeats the purpose of wearing a cool tank top. I am going to have to find some of these tops.
It said I might like this cute cookie sheet tray. And I do. Simply tape off and paint your design. Of if you are really good, you could do this with the new skinny duct tape.
My daughter sent me a video yesterday about making little flower vases with salt shakers you paint. So I looked it up on Pinterest yesterday (I'm sure there is a post in my future with all the finds). But this one popped in my "things we recommend" this morning so I thought I would show you this. They painted the little clear glass salt and pepper shakers from $1.00 tree. How neat is this.
And this was on there. I had seen it recently because my niece, Amy, shared it with me. Probably why it recommended it. The main thing about it was the fact that whoever designed this pineapple with the saying, used the new Thirty-One pineapple pattern for the background. I just love this pattern. What a whimsical design. Saw it in person the other day and it is so gorgeous.
I love Arcopal kitchenware (plates, cups, coffee pots, etc. ) but you can't find them around here because they are vintage and made in France. But according to Pinterest, they also made tea cups and saucers. Check out this pastel set. Turns out a lot of people have these for sale on Etsy. At $60 - $80 a set of six, I will pass. I wouldn't pay more than $5.00 for just one cup and saucer.
Well, I think they nailed it today on what they recommended I would like.

Thanks so much for sharing all of these fun Pinterest finds. I am like you when it comes to the nail polish remover. And I LOVE the idea of the little vases! I may give that one a try this spring. What a lovely way to display some flower cuttings from the garden.
I spend way too much time on pinterest, but I enjoy it so much!! Love that iron, such would like to have one for myself. Thanks for sharing all these great tips.
Pinterest is great fun. I also saw a pin similar to the salt and pepper shaker vases. I bought some at Dollar Tree and it's on my list to paint them to look like sea glass blue. Hopefully I actually do it! I have a list of projects to do. oh well
These are all so cute! I LOVE the salt and pepper shakers!
