It is lovely.

[Buttons4all]

wow, gorgeous! And that red button is beautiful !!!

[TouchingThePast]

Thank you, Eva. That's so sweet of you to do that. I haven't joined Facebook or Pinterest or anything social, and I know I need to get with it so I can share the beautiful items I find from other Etsians. I do have a blog, though, and I'm going to do some promoting there for others. A lot of the buttons in that bracelet I bought from Etsy sellers.

[TouchingThePast]

I finally broke down and joined Twitter and Pinterest. As soon as I figure out how to use it, I'll follow all of you.

[Former_Member]

When you figure out Twitter and Pinterest, Touching the Past, please share!! I have an account with both and am lost! Also joined Google + which is like facebook, I think.
I favorited that bracelet and I want it!!! Gorgeous! Need to make some more sales first! :)

[TouchingThePast]

I will, AnnMarie. I'm going to wait until this weekend when I have plenty of time to try. Thanks for your kind words!! I love your puzzle pins and will "pin" one (no pun intended) when I figure it out. This one, I think:

I meant to come back, AnnMarie, and explain what I did on Pinterest. First of all, I created some boards that I could pin to. I did this by clicking on Add+ at the top and then "Create a Board." Then whenever I pin an item from Etsy, it allows me to choose which Board of mine I want to pin it to. I have an "I Love Buttons" board that I'm using for all these lovely button creations.

I'm was able to start following Eva by using the link she posted above and then I looked at her followers and found Marsha. I haven't figured out my own link but you can find me by clicking on Eva's pinterest link above.

You can look at what Eva and Marsha have pinned, and like those items or repin them to your board.

I'm sure there's more you can do, but that's all I've figured out for now.

Pinterest is so addicting..There are so many wonderful ideas for the home and recipes ..the list is endless!

[TouchingThePast]

Does anyone know if you can pin a treasury to Pinterest?

[Former_Member]

Great question.. one person I am following has pinned the shop names and their avatars on a board from a team they are on. I will go ask her...

[allbuttonedupbytina]

Following all before me!

[TouchingThePast]

I'm following you too, Tina. I finally figured out what my link is:

[TouchingThePast]

I forgot to say that if anyone needs an invite, I'd be happy to send you one.

[Former_Member]

Does Pintrest work and does it cost aything? How does one join? I guess I'm not very computer literate :(
I wish I could get more traffic as I know a lot of people would be interested in what I sell.

Touchingthepast: could you send me an invite?

[TouchingThePast]

It doesn't cost anything, FarOutSprouts. You do need to have a Facebook or Twitter account to join. I will need your email to invite you (you can convo me) or Etsy also has a link you can use if you'd prefer not to share your email with me, which I certainly would understand. This is the link you can use from Etsy: http://pinterest.com/invited/?invite=etsy

I am getting some views from items pinned on Pinterest but haven't seen any sales from it. Still, views are always good.

[MariasFarmhouse]

Sweeeet!

I found this really great blog entry about how to add a "pin it" button to your browser bar so that you can pin pictures from blogs to pinterest. It also has a link that you can use to check and see if anyone has pinned anything from your blog.
