I finished several more signs yesterday and I am really excited about the way this one turned out.
This sign was hand painted on a door that was cut in half. The wonderfully crackled paint was already on the door. I simply sanded it, scrubbed it, and then sealed with a polycrylic to prevent it from chipping further.
I think this might be my favorite sign yet, but I’m still going to sell this one and keep my Fresh Berries sign.
I will be writing a post in the next few weeks to walk you through how I design and paint my signs. It’s an easy process and a great creative painting outlet for me.
I love the contrast of the worn and rustic against some sparkle and beauty. So, I made some large magnetic letters, all in different fonts, that are coated in German glass glitter. They will add the perfect amount of “bling” to my booth.

I love love love that sign, but then again, I love everything you do. That would be super if you can share how you make them (not that I think it can be duplicated)
Great sign. Did you hand paint the cow?
Awesome sign, you are so very talented! I love that cow, that looks like it would have been very hard to do! Happy you are going to let us know more about your art!
So wishing that I could visit your booth. I know it will be full of such lovely things. Jackie
Again you have shared another lovely sign. You are on a creative roll. Loving the the little bit of glitter with the galvanized look. It's like vintage chic…is that a real phrase???
Looking forward to you sharing how you make your signs. You are a sweetie to share the process with us all.
Beautiful Signage!
Oh Marian! You just amaze me with the things you create!! Love, love, love the sign! Can't wait for the tutorial!!
You are so GIFTED! I just love that sign. It would be perfect for my kitchen! Thanks for sharing!
Your handpainted signs are amazing! I can't wait to see how you do it.
Absolutley love the signs, especially the Boucherie. ~Brooke
It will be wonderful to have a tutorial on your sign making! Your booth is going to be spectacular. All that you make is just so charming.
I think the first sign will be coming home with me from Luckett's I want it!!!!
I will have to get there early so I can snatch it up!
Looking at your creations make the creativity just vibrate in my brain! Thank you.
I predict your booth will $ell out very quickly.
I absolutely adore this one (well I probably say that about all of them), it's my hands-down favorite to date. I hope your things sell like crazy.
You are on a roll!!
Another gorgeous piece… and I'm trying not to feel inadequate in my creativity now! Teasing, but wow… you are one talented woman!
Wishing you completely rewarded for all this work at your sale!!
Love the glitter and glam! And that sign is just a-ma-zing!

I agree, you gotta have a bit of bling.

I love this more than you know… Whatever you are drinking, keep doing it cause you are on a roll!
I love the sign and the sparklies!
Love this!! Look forward to the details!
Love that LOVE magnet! So cute!
I. NEED. THAT. SIGN….. I simply looooove it!
I love it! What a great sign!
I love it… Want it…. Need it…. I just mapped Lucketts Fair and it's only 5 hours from my house. I might be making a random trip!
That came out GREAT! It will sell quickly!
I love your work!
I admire those who can paint "free hand."
The letters are a clever idea. Where does one find sheets of magnet material in PA?
The sign is just fabulous, it looks authentically old! And the letters are equally as cool!
xo,

I love the Boucherie sign! It's fabulous! You do such a good job on these signs. Actually, I like the job you do on everything!! I also love the glitzy glam German Glass Glitter letters. Will you be selling these? I might want one of these!
Once again, beautiful! You have an unrivaled talent, Marian. I'm not usually a glam fan but I really, really love that German glass glitter! I want some for my fridge! Got a J in that pile? Or a C? I need some glam at the freckled cottage.

You are such an incredible talent! I read your blog almost daily and am more and more impressed the more I read and see!!! Do you do any custom work? Thanks!!! 🙂 Becky
That Boucherie sign will be fantastic in some lucky person's kitchen!
Looking forward to your tutorial post on signs….I have a super cute bedhead with t&g; detail and a love heart cutout that is crying out to be made into a sign…but what and how (and when, lol) is currently stumping me!
Love your signs!! I sure could use one or two! Wish I lived closer!!
And the touch of bling is perfect!
Hugs

i adore the cow on that sign! i can't wait til you put up a tutorial….i've been looking everywhere for a sign that says 'meat and potatoes' for our house (which is kind of a running joke…my husband is the typical midwestern guy and my daughter is just like him when it comes to food!) and now that i've seen your sign i really want it to have a cow just like that!! good luck at the fair..your work is amazing! you're going to clear house!
