If you signed up for a Pinterest account using your email address, your Pinterest profile was not linked with your Facebook account. Although you can link the two accounts from the Account Settings page at any time, Pinterest does not post your pins on your Timeline by default. You need to enable this functionality from the same Account Settings page after you link the accounts. Once enabled, Pinterest posts all your pins on your Timeline without notifying you.
