PINTREST PROJECTS


Endless Creativity! How many times have you logged onto Pinterest thinking, "I'll only be on for a few minutes." Next thing you know, you have spent an entire afternoon browsing beautiful photo's and "pinning" idea's for future projects.

More and more people are coming into Lola's looking for supplies to complete their Pinterest projects. One of our customers from Fort Collins, CO recently purchased this lamp. She made the shade using an idea she found on Pinterest. - Adorable, Jodi!

Lola's has tons of supplies you can use for your next Pintrest project. Some of the recent items purchased for projects include: wooden clothes pins, charms, keys, flashcards,  frames, books, vintage dishes, mugs and bowls, old photo's, silverware, suitcases ... just to name a few.  







The vintage furniture at Lola's is reclaimed and restored. Many of Lola's customers have found funky pieces similar to what they had seen on Pinterest right here in our store.  One of our favorites is this vintage serving cart which was recently purchased from Lola's. The new owner now utilizes the cart as extra storage in her small kitchen. - So creative, Becka!

Such a great use for this retro cart!

Customers have actually came into the store and left us 'wish lists' for items they are searching for to complete a Pinterest Project. We talk to our suppliers and help the customers search out the items. It's like we are on a treasure hunt. Recently we had a photographer come into Lola's. She bought some items to use as props. We found this idea on Pinterest and thought it was so adorable. We called her to suggest the idea, and even located a vintage flour sack for her!

Here is an idea seen on Pinterest, and a similar vintage laundry cart for sale at Lola's in the Salvaged Boutique in the back of our store. We are loving the idea of an old ladder hanging above the laundry cart to dry clothes.

Everyone at Lola's is always surprised when browsing Pinterest and we come across one of our own photos in the rotation, pinned by someone we don't even know! Its exciting to have our idea's used as inspiration to others. Here are two photos we recently saw repinned by others. - Fun, fun!

Stumbled upon a pin of RedBird Vintage Home pillows available @Lola's.
