Pinterest is getting a lot of press lately, apparently it’s all the rage. I have continued to enjoy collecting some bits here and there, plus lately I am trying to spend more time reading and wanted to share some inspiration in all things book:

Book Rotunda

 

Lincoln Installation

 

Book Accessories

 

What's in Your Book

 

Gives Custom Shelving New Meaning

 

Storage Up

 

Book Selects

 

The Grass is Always Greener

 

Structural Storage

 

Books can't be contained

 

And of course feel free to browse the rest o’ the pins at: http://pinterest.com/danaatoz/pins/

I have a weakness for snowman themed desserts and simple holiday delights, someday a bigger house will inspire more decor:

Happy Holidays! And of course feel free to browse other random delights posted at pinterest.

I realized it’s actually been a while since I shared a little bit of randomness so here goes:

 Sometimes you need a hand… or a leg…

Sometimes you need a little critter…

Sometimes you need a little critter in your indoors….

Sometimes outdoors is ok too…

Of course you can always check out the rest of my pins.

This month I’ve added a new board ‘Color Pretty‘ to pinterest, folks just keep sharing the outdoorsy colors and I just couldn’t resist keeping an eye on them:

That’s not to say that there isn’t also a fair share of the usual hodgepodge of other random items:

And as always feel free to browse my full boards at pinterest.

I am continuing to enjoy the use of pinterest for the random bits of web goodness that I come across as I browse. And of course, checking in on other people’s pins just adds another layer of fun. Here are a few tidbits I’ve recently come across:

Summer makes me appreciate all things green.

I don’t necessarily endorse ruining a book, but book art is intriguing.

Regular irregular art is also intriguing.

Reminders that I should kick my nail care up a notch.

And of course feel free to check out all my boards at pinterest.

For those of you who have gotten a taste for the semi regular postings of Random Bits of Web Goodness… I want to take you on the next step of my journey in sharing delights.

It started with misc emails that I’d send to people of random items that I found online. And then in an effort to stop spamming folks I began gathering them into a semi regular email. And then, well, I thought if this isn’t a procrastination what is, let’s post them. But it’s actually just a slight bit more of a pain than it’s worth.

Lucky me that I found a new service that lets you save and categorize items with a quick bookmark. And they’re all available for viewing pleasure. You can bookmark, categorize, search, repin… it’s all very easy and pretty darned engaging.

Apparently there are more images on books and nails that I enjoy than I thought but mostly it’s stuff I would share as Web Goodness… Take a look at my categories, feel free to click on any of the category titles to view more or just visit me on pinterest.

Well another month has gone by and another item or two have caught my eye…

I might know someone who has an affinity for art cars and this one is lovely.

Girl’s gotta love old advertising (via Boing Boing).

Recycling is a great way to handle old toys (via Oh Joy!) and magnets and hooks available on Poketo.

All things irregular are always appealing, that they’re made of paper is just a perk, more animal anomaly’s at Paxton Gate (via Boing Boing)

More random, but amazing, art (more at the link via Craft).

I’d be tempted to add this grassy looking chair to my new found liking of grassy looking rugs (via Apartment Therapy)

What to do with your doggie with all this rain (via The Daily What).

I dig this folder holder but alas wouldn’t the cool part be covered up if you filled it? (via Jeri’s Organizing)

I still haven’t learned beyond folding napkins but does this count as Origami? (via Craft)

Swing set for the daring (via Laughing Squid).

Tiny doors could open a door to anyone or anywhere (more doors at link via Laughing Squid) even found on irregular mushrooms (via Poppytalk).

More random everywhere I seem to turn, some web tidbits that got an extra glance:

sfgirlbybay is bringing us another curated collection and though I’m not a big rainbow fan I can’t resist many of these items, more at link

I may have noted these before but there is something so lovely about these (noted by Apartment Therapy), perhaps I do like rainbow type things.

I also may have noted these pencil tip art items pointed out by sfgirlbybay there’re more here (gallery at right).

Or you can use little things to build toothpick city, for more check out the video (via Craft)

Or use screws (via The Daily What)

These so remind me of a certain someone and a certain baby topiary (via Apartment Therapy)

Or if you have leftover doll middles perhaps you could do something like this (via etsy).

It’s almost like sitting outside, more items about the Stockholm Design Fair (via Design Sponge)

Though if you are outside Boing Boing points out this rad fountain.

I have got to make it to the trash to treasure garden railway in the Conservatory of Flowers (via Craft)

And if I run out of room for art I guess I can let Ji Lee create something on my ceiling.

And there’s always more little delightful bits to see on the world wide web…

Is my apartment missing a big flower giving yeti? Full house tour via Apartment Therapy.

The jealous curator from SF Bay Girl posts her last room including this lovely pic, who doesn’t love a weird bunny head?

Craft shared these amazing Lori Nix dioramas (more at link).

I always wonder who would want to hang at a bench in traffic, but this from The Daily What might make me reconsider.

I love this artist’s felt creatures and can’t resist the latest.

This site My Love for You about artists was pointed out by Poppytalk and so far I am enjoying some of their featured artists shown here (graffiti, found miniature, glass world).

Boing Boing thankfully passed along this image and link to Creepy Children’s Playground.

This is no Kris Angel, all in the name of fashion, more 1963 shots at link (via Black Eiffel)

I haven’t been looking for new stationary but this Zombie version is tempting.

And for my next dinner party perhaps I’ll go Dexter theme (via Craft).

And to continue with the macabre, there’s something perfect about a Barbie smile, from The Daily What.

Animal inspired furniture, I’m in! More at link: (via Apartment Therapy)

I’m still a sucker for animal heads, someday the game room/library will happen (via Design Sponge)

Somehow I’ve found time to browse a little even during the holidays…

I don’t like a bird, but a boy on a bird looking about to kill it with a knife is somehow appealing, more odd plates at Forgot Shop (via poppytalk).

I can’t decide if I think the custom fingerprint jewelry is creepy or cool (via Craft).

Digging the Boing Boing shared crooked house.

All in the name of science (via Boing Boing).

My affinity for skateboarding (watching not riding) and irregular sized objects drew me to this tiny skate park on a skate board (via The Daily What).

I never realized what an outdoor rug affinity I had but this is the third (first, second) that I’ve pointed out. (via Apartment Therapy)

Terrariums are alright but tiny snippets of life are entirely intriguing (via sfgirlbybay).

The House that Jealousy Built on sfgirlbybay almost always has at least one thing I can’t resist sharing, this time my favorite is this panda chair (not in the name of science).

These underwater sculptures are sort of haunting (via Boing Boing).

Sure is the prettiest woodpile (via Boing Boing).

Anything that Mr Koolaid is a part of even if it is about the Battle of Yorktown is worth a look (via Boing Boing).

I may need to plan my next trip to China for this ice event, more shots at link (Boing Boing has been good to us this month).

I don’t know anything about the case that this interesting art is creating awareness on but I am now aware.
