Hello!

♥ I am happy to announce that some of my mini signs are being featured in the August issue of Somerset Home magazine! This is very exciting for me and I've been a BIG fan of many of the Somerset/Stampington publications for a long time!♥

My handcrafted signs are created by me and cover several styles from Shabby Cottage Chic, Paris apartment, beach cottage and Vintage. Though my signs are new, I take great care to give them that old vintage look through a multi step process. My husband cuts the wood for my signs and I do everything else.

I'm always trying to create new looks and phrases for my signs. Recently Pete and I went on an amazing trip to celebrate a special anniversary. We were fortunate to be able to visit two places that I always wanted to see...Italy and France! Seeing all of the amazing art and architecture was a visual feast and I hope to incorporate some ideas from my travels for my signs. I am really so fortunate to be able to go back and visit this beautiful part of the world once again as our son is currently studying in Italy for the semester!

I also have a great love of the beach....I'm afraid that I took too many days off this summer for a drive to the shore! ♥:)and have added and continue to add beach towns and themes to my sign listings.

I've particularly enjoyed meeting and working with all of the wonderful brides, mothers and planners for creating fabulously elegant personalized signs. Let me make something really special for YOUR wedding!

If there is any special look or phrase that you'd like please feel free to email me. I'm convo/contact friendly and I'm happy to make a special sign JUST FOR YOU!!
