signs


Grocery sign tutorial

I admit, I've made a few signs for my own place.


palette desk

And sometimes even in non standard sign locations. How fun is it lettering up the top of a desk?!?



bingo board tray

 Ahhh... the memories of an online decorating contest. :) Category - catalogue themed copycat



lattice wall hanging 


front entry

 These little SADY and LADY are authentic cow labels from my parents' farm. I ADORE them. :)


bedroom window sill

And in my bedroom, I have a landscape tie that came all lettered up, fresh out of a palette boneyard. :)


the playroom

And then there's the scrumptious storefront sign I scooped up from the local gas station boneyard. For free. :)


And the farm sign that came from my own yard growing up. :)


old crate stairs

Are mystairs signs or crates?!? I'd say both I suppose.


storybook sign table

Signs are not only graphically fun to glance at, some tell a story too!


Do you have a favorite sign in your own home? Why do you love it? And why do you think we're all crazy for old vintage signs these days?

The 3rd themed sign linkup is waiting for your own creative input!

Next weekend - sticks/twigs/branches

Don't have anything? I'm officially challenging you! Grab some twigs and go have some fun so you're ready before next weekend!

  10. Hi Donna. I am so glad and happy to be back with something to link up. Do you know I 'save' my furniture posts for the weekend so I can hang out at MissMustardSeed and Your SNS party!
    Oh and I linked up an old sign post too. That is ok, isn't it for the themed party to link up something older?
    I can't help wonder what is up with the comments on this post. You have already so many people who linked up to all three of the linky events and I am still only number 11 to link up.
    Well than I'll just have to speak for many when I see. Donna, signmakergirl, you rock! At making signs and at anything else too!
    Love ye, have a great weekend.

  11. I love vintage signs! You have such an amazing collection. I used to have a big metal "Air Conditioned Rooms" Sign. Under that it said in parenthesis "College Men". That was a hoot to have up in me and my roommates college apartment! Always got a giggle! :) Thanks for hosting!

  13. Ok now Donna THIS is why I never get anything done around the house! Too many wonderful ideas, so little time.

    I think I'm seriously in need of a 12 step program at bloggers anonymous!

  17. LOVE your signs! Heck, I love everything you do. I become photo stalker chick every time you post pics of your house and projects. I've posted a sign I did back in February for your sign party. All the ideas just spark my imagination. Your parties are the BEST, thanks for hosting.

  18. Okay, I want cow signs. Or stencils. I could put them on my kitchen cabinets, then when some said "Where are the ----- ?" I could say "Sady"
    I thought you made that big sign in the playroom. I also love that Alaska Copper sign in the window. My daughter took a picture on her phone today to send to you. It was succulents in a fake concrete little planter that looked like a cog. Will send it later. Ann
