This is for the slate only and not the holder shown in the picture which is for reference only. This item will fit in the iron stands that I sell at my craft fairs. I cannot guarantee it will fit in a different stand if it was purchased from someone else and I do not accept returns on this item. All slates used by me for my signs are old, recycled roofing slates; they are currently from the roofs of old buildings in Connecticut, Massachusetts and Vermont. Each slate was collected, cleaned, hand-cut and hand-painted by me. All of my designs are original and I’ve been painting and selling my slates for over 25 years. They can be hung outdoors in direct rain or direct sun. I enclose an extra leather hanger with each slate as the weather will eventually effect the natural leather product. Simply twist a piece of thin wire around the leather hanger to aid in helping the leather last longer, or just check it periodically and replace it if in direct rain or sun. Screws can be used in the pre-drilled holes also. Screw in until snug, but not tight as the slate can crack from too much pressure. All paintings are sprayed with an acrylic spray (Krylon Crystal Clear) for preservation.

This Adirondack chair slate can be personalized on the bottom space or left with just the Welcome. The established date can be added in the sky while still personalizing with the name on the bottom. Please specify if you would like the beach/ocean scene (shown in pic) or the lake scene, which has the treeline continuing all the way across the water. I can also replace the Welcome with a saying (limited to 6 words or ask for pre-approval before ordering), house number, just last name, cottage name, street name, etc… please feel free to use your imagination. This slate measures approximately 9 x 12” and all of my slates can vary by 1/2 inch.

Please be specific when giving personalizing instructions. All personalizing is done in the same color as the welcome generally, unless specified otherwise. Please note that english teachers have discouraged me from using the apostrophe – ie: The Smith’s – as it is grammatically incorrect. I simply pluralize the names – The Smiths – If someone lives alone I have found that people simply put “Smith” rather than “The Smiths”. I will, however, personalize your purchase whichever way you choose, so please let me know which way you would like it. THERE IS NO EXTRA CHARGE FOR PERSONALIZING.

As all slates are unique, each slate is handpainted and shading and colors may differ slightly from the photograph. The paint palette of colors is always the same as the one used in the photo. Textures may vary slightly and all slates have a textured edge, however, I make every effort to use a piece of slate that is as close to the one in the photo as possible.

I hope you enjoy my slates as much as I enjoy making them for people.
