I am busy, busy, busy finishing projects for the farm sale and keeping the booths stocked.Lately I have been in a painting signs kind of mood.
Dug out the Bermuda Sand paint.
(Really if anyone walked into my house the first thing she would say is "How much?" There is that much stuff in the living room!)
Yes, the colors are rather fab, but I going white.
Just brushed on a thin coat.
There's Willie hanging his head - he despises having his photo taken, but insists on being in the background.
So I made up South Main Superette for my sign.
I did not have the right size stencils for the lettering.
Printed out the letters.
Taped them to the boards.
I pick up every box I can find at estate sales.
The bottom shows after highlighting and shadowing the letters.
Yesterday I spent several hours with a new group of signs.
Will show you on Sunday.
It seems to be all about the Gathering - I have two weeks left to prepare.
YIKES!!!
Long lists are being made - what will you be looking for?
You can go HERE for the list of bloggers who participated with links to their posts.
Or you can go see Eddie of Eddie-torial Comments - he is on a roll with list after list.
See y'all!

I kept some wood planks from the renovation last summer, meaning to do signs and never took the time. You put my mind back to it!
ReplyDeleteDonna, I have had such a laugh with Eddie and his lists! The signs are great and I know how busy you must be!
ReplyDeletehugs,
Linda
Great signs, Donna! Are you planning a vacation to rest up after the show???
ReplyDeleteI saw Eddie's list. And his other list. And, the other one, too! He's a hoot! I want to find a globe. Or two. Or three. I want a large one. Vintage. If I can't find that, I would like a large map of the world. Remember those maps in school. They were pulled down, and some of them even had bumps where the mountains were. "Relief" is what it's called, I think. Our dining room will become a library, and a globe {or three} or map would make it great! Have fun at The Gathering. I hope it's fruitful!
ReplyDeleteLovely! I prefer the signs I buy or make to have a quote or saying of some kind.
ReplyDeleteHi Donna! LOVE the Superette sign as it reminded me of a little town grocery store we used to go to with my Grandma many hundreds of years ago. Thanks for bringing back that memory and your font highlighting is awesome.
ReplyDeleteGreat signs! Love that you let some of the colours show through the white. You're going to have a lot of awesome stuff to take to the gathering.
