I love pretty things. And I really, really love pretty photos of pretty things. And what is the absolute best place to find a whhole bunch of those? The gawkerverse.

Every site has pages upon pages of beautiful photos of user-submitted goodness. Clicking directly on any photo will take you straight to the blog post it was submitted from. They also have these adorable badges for people to add to their blogs when they've had submissions accepted, which they just redesigned recently. We have some on the right sidebar on our blog. I love that thread spool one!

The newest one is dwellinggawker. This is full of inspiration for your home or work space, or just really pretty places around the world. It's full of good stuff like this DIY etched tray, this amazing hotel in it's VERY OWN LAGOON,  and this kitchen makeover.

And then there is weddinggawker, full of pretty pretty wedding-related things. They have wedding fireworks, lace-back dresses and braided hairstyles for brides. We have a gallery on there.


Foodgawker is just... yummy. You can browse recipes starting with the newest accepted submissions, or you can search by ingredient. It's pretty fantastic. It kind of makes my mouth water just to look at it. I want to make this strawberry balsamic pizza. Or this cinnamon pull-apart bread. Mm...
