Curation Policy

Curation & Content Sharing Policy

Last Updated: January 31, 2026

At A Sunny Afternoon (“we,” “us,” or “our”), we love discovering and celebrating amazing craft techniques, tutorials, videos, patterns, recipes, and DIY decor ideas from talented creators around the web. Our mission is to curate and share inspiring content with our readers while giving full credit and driving traffic back to the original sources.

How We Curate Content

We actively search the internet for high-quality, creative content in the crafting, DIY, and decor space that we believe our audience will enjoy. When we find something we love, we may:

  • Share a short excerpt or description (in the creator’s own words where possible) to highlight the idea or project.
  • Include one or more images from the original source (used sparingly and with attribution).
  • Always provide clear attribution to the original creator/author and a prominent link back to the full article, tutorial, pattern download page, video, or store.

This approach aligns with principles of **fair use** (transformative sharing for commentary, criticism, or recommendation) and our goal of supporting the creative community. We never republish full articles, tutorials, or patterns without explicit permission—we focus on curation to introduce your work to new audiences.

Benefits to Creators

Our curation is designed to help independent bloggers, designers, makers, and creators reach more people:

  • Drive traffic and potential sales to your site, blog, Etsy shop, pattern store, or other platform.
  • Expose your content to readers actively seeking craft and DIY inspiration.
  • Encourage shares on social media and Pinterest, which can bring even more visitors and buyers to your work.

Most creators appreciate the exposure and backlinks—it’s how the internet thrives on sharing knowledge!

Respecting Your Wishes

We only share content we genuinely admire and believe will benefit both our readers and the original creator. However, if you are the owner/creator of any content we’ve featured and prefer that we do not link to, excerpt, or share it on our site or social channels:

Simply let us know! We will promptly remove the content from our site, delete any related pins or shares if applicable, and note your preference in our records so we avoid featuring your work in the future.

Contact us right away via:

Please include the URL of the post/page where your content appears, and we’ll handle your request immediately—no questions asked.

Our Commitment

We respect intellectual property rights and aim to promote ethical curation. All featured content includes proper attribution and links back to the source. If you believe we’ve used your material in a way that exceeds fair use or without adequate credit, please reach out—we’re happy to review and correct any issues.

Thank you to all the incredible creators whose work inspires us and our readers every day!
