We get LOTS of questions.... here's a few with the answer! :)
#1 Can you make this bigger, does it come in a larger or smaller size?
ANSWER: We can't make any of our Plaques bigger. 8 x10 is the largest available.
8x10 is an approximate measurement. It may be just a bit smaller or larger.
We do have "MINI PLAQUES" They measure approx. 4 x 6 (some a bit smaller or larger) Almost all of our designs can be made for you in the smaller Mini Plaque size. If it's not already listed, just ask and we will make and list for you.
#2 What are your Plaques made of and / or how do you make your Plaques?
ANSWER: We've been making and selling our Plaques for many years and worked hard for our perfected technique, so we don't share that. The base is hardboard. Very Sturdy. Approx. 1/8" thick. We won't go into detail about what exactly hardboard is. The best way to learn about the definition of hardboard is to google it. It works best for us because it is lighter than real wood and is a very sturdy base. If it was real wood the cost would be twice as much, plus wood is much heavier and would cost more to ship also. We appreciate the interest but we can't type out the definition of hardboard, so it is really much easier for you to google it.
#3 Can you change the design or wording?
ANSWER: No, sorry, we can't change the design in any way. It' only available as shown.
#4 Will you please sell me the display stand shown in the photos?
ANSWER: No, sorry. The listing is for the Plaque ONLY. We have collected Display stands over the years from, Antique Shops, Estate Sales, Thrift Shops, etc. So keep an eye out for them. They are also available in stores like Michaels, Hobby Lobby, Dollar Store, etc...
#5 Do they hang?
Yes, we put a sawtooth hanger on the back for hanging. You can also use a display stand or prop up / lean on a shelf.
#6 Can I hang the Plaques outside?
No, they are not waterproof. You might be able to place on a well covered porch. Many of our customers place them in wreaths for the front doors, but they will need to be porch covered.

We do not accept returns, as stated in our Listing.
However... If your item is DAMAGED during shipment, please contact us within 24 hours of receipt of your item, with pictures of your item as well as the packaging. We provide replacements for items received that are damaged.
We do NOT accept returns for any other reason... such as changed mind, no longer need, doesn't look like I expected, etc....
******* Does every item look exactly as pictured? NO ********
Due to the handmade nature of your item, your item may look slightly different as the one we photograph.
Our signs / plaques are crafted one at a time and may be slightly different than pictured but will be so very close, just not identical. The colors might be different due to different monitors / phones. They might not be as vivid but are never "faded". They measure approx. 8x10 or 4x6 or 7 x10. Any may be a bit larger or smaller. Each design is unique.
They are NOT waterproof. Not meant for outside. Could be possible for wreaths on a porch or covered area.
Our plaques are made with a technique we have perfected. We do not share this technique. We use hardboard as a base. If you do not know what hardboard is... please google it. It is not wood, such as pine. We do not use wood because it is too heavy and is not lightweight and sturdy as we have found hardboard to be.
We add a sawtooth hanger on the back as an extra. It can be hung, or propped up or use a display stand. Your Plaque does not include a display stand. All items shown in photos are not included, they are props and not included. The only item you are purchasing is the Plaque / Sign.
Thanks so much for your interest. If there is something we have not covered here, please message us.
