Here we go again...

So it may not come as a big shock to some of you but in less than two weeks I will be moving back to that beautiful city that inspired me to begin blogging in the first place - Chicago. After spending the past year in Wisconsin, I've been called back to the big city to take a job that I'm very excited to start. I am of course nervous and slightly stressed about all the things I need to do to prepare for my move, but I know that this is what's best for me. So get ready Girl and the Goat, Gilt Bar and Jam because you three are at the top of my list of must-visit places upon my return. :)

Pinterest

I came across the site Pinterest this afternoon and it really did "peak my interest" (pun intended). According to their website, "Pinterest as a virtual pinboard — a place where you can create collections of things you love and "follow" collections created by people with great taste. People use Pinterest to collect and share all sorts of things -- wedding inspiration, favorite T-shirts, DJ equipment. You name it, people are pinning it."

I poked through the site and stumbled upon the "staff favorites" section that features a number of categories that have already been populated with beautiful images. My personal favorite is the "graphic and type love" section curated by PAPERFASHION which showcases typographical art graphics and the best part in that my "pinning" the images, they are automatically linked to their native site. I've also included a number of my favorites from the section below. Enjoy!
