Our Sign, Thanks to Tina and Paula

November 25, 2009 at 1:05 am by Claudia


A few weeks ago, Tina of Cherry Hill Cottage, one of my favorite blogs, posted about a sign that a fellow blogger had made for her. The blogger was Paula of Castle and Cottage. I fell in love with the sign, immediately clicked on the link to Paula’s site and wrote an email asking her if she could make one for me. She did. I freely admit going with what Tina chose because it was also perfect for my kitchen.

It arrived on my birthday.



I took photos of the sign during the day and at night – I was trying to capture how beautiful it is. Don had been saying that we needed something to hang over the sink/kitchen window that was large and graphic. The sign we previously had there was too dark and hard to read. Almost immediately after that conversation, I read Tina’s post…and here it is. We love it.

Paula has an Etsy shop and she has all sorts of signs available in many shapes and sizes. She will also do a custom order. And her prices are extremely reasonable. Working with Paula is thoroughly enjoyable. Stop by and tell her I sent you! You will love her work. We sure do.

Have a wonderful day before Thanksgiving!

    OH, Claudia… this is PERFECT! I absolutely love it. I particularly like the lettering style/font. If I decide I need a sign (and that could easily happen because I LOVE signs), I will be sure and check out the lady who did yours. She did a great job. It’s perfect and the perfect color, too. I know you have got to be thrilled! :-)

    XO,

    Sheila :-)

    This sign is just awesome! I recently won one of Paula’s signs and am so proud of mine, too! Is your entire kitchen red/white? I love red and have a red dining room!

Welcome!

Welcome!

I live in a little cottage in the country with my husband. It's a sweet place, sheltered by old trees and surrounded by gardens. The inside is full of the things we love. I love to write, I love my camera, I love creating, I love gardening. My decorating style is eclectic; full of vintage and a bit of whimsy.

I've worked in the theater for more years than I can count. I'm currently a voice, speech, dialect and text coach freelancing on Broadway, off Broadway, and in regional theater.

Thanks for stopping by.
