Hello dear friends,
When I shared my thoughts about the evolving in art style versus the blog, I got such sweet messages from you! Some of you say you have wandered away from the shabby romantic lace style as well. Some say a blog doesn't have to be one particular style or should not necessarily stick to one - a blog can evolve with your change of style. That it's important to listen where your heart leads you, and just see where that will bring you.
And I know there are also some of you that will miss the shabby romantic lace style here on AppleApricot. Well, I will always be a romantic at heart, so there will always be some kind of that in my arts and crafts I suppose. But probably with less lace and less vintage photos, if there will be any.
Pinterest investigation
Seen in this light, I got curious as to what exactly from this blog got the most repins on Pinterest. I mean, I had an idea about what might be liked about AppleApricot, but I could be so wrong! So I did a little investigation.
Turns out, in part I was right, but in part I definitely was wrong, haha! So the results somewhat surprised me. I thought you might be interested in the result of my little investigation as well. So here they are, the most repinned AppleApricot creations on Pinterest - in order of amount of repins:
By the way, I left out the DIYs and the freebies. From top left (first place) to bottom right:
Just a fun investigation to do for your own blog. I can highly recommend it!
But one thing is good to remember:
The outcome of an analysis as this doesn't necessarily mean you have to do something with it. I know that it is been said that it would be good to do more of what works best. But if that's not where your heart leads you, then please don't.
Well, this was a fun and clarifying thing to do.
Did you ever try something similar?
Wishing you a beautiful day!
xx Wen
PS: the Prunus photos... those beautiful branches are remnants of a drastic pruning of a tree a few streets from here. I couldn't help but take some with me and put them in a vase :) I shared the photos and the story earlier (in Dutch) on my blog AppelAbrikoos.
Lovely photos and your blossom is so pretty. You know I once made a CAS card for a challenge - It was years ago .. It didn't win anything but it has been pinned so many times and even up to this week it's still being pinned. It always makes me smile and it will always be a favourite of mine too.
ReplyDeleteThank you Ros :) About your CAS card: so nice to see something you like so much yourself gets so much love from others too. That truly brings a happy smile.
DeleteSuch pretty things! I see why they were pinned the most. I have never heard of Prunus but they are gorgeous!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much AnnMarie! Prunus is cherry blossom :)
DeleteI just love the flowers and so good for you to pick them up and save them to enjoy for a little while longer. I have not looked into seeing how many pins I have had, maybe I will check into how to check on that :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Connie! I don't think there is a way you can check the amount of pins exactly. But it gives an idea of what's pinned most anyway.
DeleteOops, forgot to share how I checked mine. I just searched for my blog's name in several ways on Pinterest. Plus, I have a business account which gives a glimpse into this as well.
DeleteOh, I love your beautiful creations shown here, dear Wen, and the heart I still love <3 from you- and the photo of the flowers are stunning, as is the flowers!!
ReplyDeleteThank you for such loveliness, dear friend. !! Hugs and love, Dorthe
Thank you so much sweetie! Glad you still love that little blue rose heart :) Hugs xx
DeleteVery lovely project you are working on and I love nature just like you, thanks for sharing those wonderful outdoors. That is so strange, same thing happened to me with the snail mail, Stella, whom also from The Netherlands, her Christmas card arrived in February too, there must be something going on between Netherland and America, LOL! However, the one I sent to her arrived on time though.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kirsty :) And so strange how the mail service functions overseas. Really unpredictable.
DeleteAt first I read 'Pins and Prunes' and you can guess where my mind went!! So fun to see the top 'pins' - didn't know that was possible to check into so now I'll have to do that very thing.
ReplyDeleteLol :) Yes do give it a go. May be I could share some info on that in a post soon.
