My stencil sales have been coming in at a somewhat slow and steady pace, which was fine, because it was a pace I could keep up with. Then BAM, as soon as I introduced the Milk & Cream Co. stencil design, orders started pouring in. I wasn’t prepared to get so many orders so quickly and I spent the weekend up to my ears in Milk and Cream. Of course, that’s a very good thing, but by yesterday I was exhausted, and in dire need of {Read More}
Milk and Cream Co. Sign on Stool and Chalkboard
June 6, 2015 by 14 Comments
It’s been more than 2 years ago since I made my first Milk and Cream Co. sign. Since I only had 1 antique window like that, I started making them on glass photo frames. And they sold, and they sold, and they sold, and to date I’ve made almost 50 more of them! Finally I realized that since other people love the design as much as I do, it was time to make make it available as a reusable stencil so anyone {Read More}
Amazing Grace Sign Stencil and Sign Giveaway!
May 31, 2015 by 42 Comments
Inspirational signs have always been some of the best-sellers in my shop, and one of my favorites has always been the “Amazing Grace” design, which was based on the rendition by Chris Tomlin. I have made and sold quite a few of them, but eventually I got tired of making the same design over and over, so I “retired” that sign design. I’ve heard from many of you who are church pianists, are on worship teams, or are worship leaders, and I’ve {Read More}
Farmhouse Friday #5 – Vintage Signs
May 7, 2015 by 13 Comments
If you are looking for a DIY project to work on this weekend, I think you’ll find one to love at week’s Farmhouse Friday, because the theme is DIY vintage signs! If you’ve ever looked at the prices of antique signs – they are usually outrageously expensive. While I’d love to own one, it isn’t in my budget, so I create my own vintage style signs instead, and we’re going to look at some signs created by some other fabulous bloggers as well. Let’s {Read More}
Seed Store Vintage Sign Stencil
April 17, 2015 by 5 Comments
The next vintage sign stencil in my new line is based on an early 1900’s seed store advertisement that has really charming lettering. I absolutely love this one, and could use it over and over (and did)! This stencil includes 2 sizes of the design. The larger size measures about 16″ x 4-1/2″ and the smaller size measures about 8-7/8″ x 2-1/2″. Both options are on 1 stencil, so you can select the size you need for your project. This stencil is available in {Read More}
Introducing Knick of Time Vintage Sign Stencils!
April 15, 2015 by 38 Comments
Today is such an exciting day for me – it’s like a little dream come true. Several years ago, I was busy creating signs on a bunch of old windows I had been given, and I mentioned that “someday” I’d love to develop my own line of vintage sign stencils. Dreaming about something is all well and good, but there comes a point when you need to stop dreaming and just do it. After all, dreams rarely come true without {Read More}
Valspar Chalky Finish Paint Review – Painted Mason Jars & Sign
March 11, 2015 by 66 Comments
Have you heard the news that Lowes is now carrying new Valspar Chalky Finish Paint? This is great news for those who like premixed chalk style paint, but don’t live near any retailers of Annie Sloan or other chalk style paints. I heard it was coming out, and was looking forward to testing it. I’ve tried a lot of chalk-style paints, as well as made my own, so I wanted to see how it compares.
A Fresh New Batch of Farmhouse Signs
March 4, 2015 by 21 Comments
The problem with being a multi-tasker, is sometimes I have WAY too many projects going on at one time, and before I know it, they’ve overtaken my house. I’d be mortified if anyone dropped in unexpectedly right now, so I’m on a mission to get projects finished from all the pieces I’ve drug into my house – before the week is over. Anything that isn’t done before this week is up, is getting taken back out to my workshop. I hate to {Read More}
DIY Lavender sign
February 14, 2015 by 13 Comments
Ever since I started dreaming of the future lavender harvest I hope to have, thoughts of lavender keep creeping into my mind, so I had to do something lavenderish (spell check says that isn’t a word – it should be!) I’m going to think positive that I’ll have lots of lovely lavender soon, but in the meantime, I made a new lavender sign for my obsession. I grabbed an old board in my stash, and put a light coat of light {Read More}
Beverage Station and Gift Card Holder Printables
February 11, 2015 by 5 Comments
Beverage stations are very popular right now, and I’ve always received a lot of sweet comments about the coffee station we have set up on our antique cook stove in our kitchen, so I decided to create some printable signs that have a retro look – as if they came from a 1950’s diner. Just print them, plop them in a frame, and hang them! You could also decoupage them onto wood as well.
