Peonies are everywhere on Pinterest, including my boards. And as with many other Pinterest fads, I tried to resist getting on this bandwagon for a little while (also because they are insanely expensive: $12.99 for a few stems... really? I bet all these pinners are flower-poor).

Hi, my name is Katya and I am... a Pinteholic.
I know I am not alone when I say that I love Pinterest. It serves as a constant AND consistent source of inspiration for me. Therefore, by the suggestion of a beloved friend, I decided to start a new weekly round-up of my favorite pins. I hope you enjoy!
This week my favorites include:
- An inspirational quote that has been giving me an excuse to write this blog.
- A pattern combination that sums up my undying love for black, white and brown.
- A picture that made me laugh out loud.
- A lovely chalk board art that inspires me to get going with a wall in my own house.
- A DIY project I think will be easy and practical.
- A recipe I have been wanting to try and will probably cook tonight.
- An unconventional take on the old grocery list.
- A great guide on the difference between the various chalk mediums.
- Another DIY inspiration project that can help my towels get in order.
A few months back, a co-worker of mine convinced me to join my company's Spartan Race team. He didn't talk it up much: he mentioned it's a long-ish run with a few fun obstacles. You know, no big deal. Something someone who runs as much as me should complete more than easily (read, you don't really need to train for it). Ha ha ha.
