obsess much?

Ok, maybe just a little bit.

Darling Jodi from Pleasant Home has become quite famous for her candy-coloured magnetic pin bowls.  I see them all the time on my favourite blogs and in my Instagram feed.  I've wanted needed one a few several since the first time I saw one.  It took me a while to get myself an almost complete collection.  Believe it or not, I'm still missing a few colours ... but I had to draw the line somewhere. ;)

Ok, they're not ALL for me.  I have two daughters with long hair and ... let's just say my house is being overrun by hair pins.  So I got the black one for daughter #1 (she has the exact opposite taste from me), and the mint one for daughter #2 (I want her bowl too, but I will let her keep it).

The other seven (blushing) are for me.  BUT, in my defense, as it turns out, I actually have that many different kinds of pins!  I have these ones,

(favourite colour first)

and these ones,

and these ones,

and these ones (thanks again Ginny),

these ones,

these ones,

and these,

I also have some of those lovely Little House Japanese pins, but I can't find them right now.  (Because I didn't have these awesome organizers before! LOL!) 

If you're looking for a pretty way to keep small metal objects, consider these pin bowls.  I guarantee they will make your home more pleasant. 

Thank you, Jodi!  xoxoxo k

Oh please help! Your pictures are so pretty I must have some, I mean one! I went to the Pleasant House site and did not find a link or store. Can you suggest any other options? Thank you.

I tracked them down on Easy - absolutely beautiful. I want/need one too although they will never look as pretty at my house as they do at Pretty By Hand!

They're gorgeos! I can understand why you'd want them all. I could get the black one for my husband to keep his change in!

Of course you needed them all, with that amount of pins I don't know how you managed before!!! ;)

I LOVE those pinbowls! I've tried unsuccessfully to get some (so many people want them and she seems to run out) and I've decided to make my own. They're so easy - they're just magnetic pinbowls from the autoparts department -- spray paint, polka dot and boom! You're done!

Love your pictures!!!

You are a T-R-O-U-B-L-E maker!! Just saying!! I bet you could make a rusty old tin can look adorably amazing and therefore the rest of the world would want one, two or ten just like it. Funny, I have seen these pin bowls for a long time and thought they were precious but now I think that I really have to have one...or two, right away as a fact.

I need to get some of these, of course the Pink would be first. Hope she makes more. I could not find them on her website?

I don't know how you could put these up without a good link to find them. Another person commented with a link but it doesn't say Pleasant Home. Please post a good link to your article. thanks, kathy

I love these - I have one. But now I see I need one of every color. I blame you for this sudden need! :O)

The other link is just another source for them, called LaurelBee Designs, if you want one or two or ten right away. I ordered a cherry red one and I got it right away! No selling out, which is a plus in my book. That link is golden as far as I'm concerned:

These are cute! I have a mountain of hand-made pincushions, and then another mountain of little decorative tins. Same but different?

OK, this is YOUR fault. Because of this post, I've been trying to get my hands on some of Jodi's bowls. I finally scored a few at her new website: http://pinbowls.com/ Spent way too much money but I love them. Thanks for MAKING me spend money! :^)
