Dear Diary,

I finally discovered how to insert 
a 'clickable link' within my photos on the blog.
This is very important when your photos are pinned to Pinterest.
Without a link the pin goes only to your
 blog image file and that is a
 major 'no no' if you are gathering images from websites.


Pin this rug from Skinner's Auctions

While browsing for the History of Penny Rugs,
I found  two Antique Rugs
Very similar patterns
I would love to know the history of this pattern,
why they are so similar and
if they were stitched by the same rugmaker.

Another Pinterest Tip
I found this great tip by accident.
 My pins are for reference and so
I want as much information on the pin as possible.
Before you hit the 'Pin It' button on your browser,
right click and highlight the information on
the webpage for your pin.
Click 'Pin It' and the description box automatically will show
your highlighted text.
Pin to your board.

Thanks for the Pinterest tips! I'm a little bit technologically-challenged myself, so every little trick you can share is GREATLY appreciated! LOL

These two rugs are lovely! You are right, they are VERY similar....almost like the same bird "template" was used! How interesting!! I would love to see how you would design a rug based on these....!!! :-)

Thank you Lisa and Barb,
Blogger seems to have a mind of its own today, I see comments on the blog and did not before. I'm going in to 'tweet' a few things and Barb I will check why the email isn't working..then try a new posting.
