Sherry, I'm on Pinterest but I gather things only with the red Pin to repost on mine. Below each pin on a board you can write a comment, so I would go back to the offending page and make a comment that you are happy to see lace being spread around, but that they should say where the picture came from, and add your web address.
My boards are simply there as a reminder to me for ideas and recipes with an easy way to re-find them when I need them. Usually they include the link back to the page I pinned them from and if they don't, I remove them as it is no good having just a photo and not the link for the recipe or pattern. Just pinned a neat idea to make a yarn swift using coat hangers. I have pinned a few lace ideas and it amazes me when I get emails telling me how many people around the world liked the idea. Janice <When I saw my picture I spent about 20 minutes trying to see if I could find the link back to my website and couldn't find it. This pinterest to me is another way of taking other people's stuff and spreading it around to the point nobody owns it anymore. It reminds me of books that have been copied and put up on paciso. I can remember years ago even on this lists when people were so upset about their stuff being taken that pattern pages you had to get a password to get them. I guess nowadays anything goes. Now all this being said...I don't mind if someone likes my picture so much that they take it some where else but all pictures no matter where they are taken from should have where it came from right with the picture.
