Sign of the Times



Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
---Charles Caleb Colton



Well, I googled the Google, perused the Pinterest & searched high and low.  I kept coming up empty on my quest for a vintage kitchen sign. 

Nothing compared to these little beauties:




Flea Market Style


Get Your Martha On




Now they say that patience is a virtue.  Unfortunately, this is not something I possess so it was time to take matters into my own hands.  
I stopped by my local hardware store and picked up the following items:
*one random piece of lumber
*sample of white paint
*sandpaper
*black craft paint

After painting the board white, I printed off and cut out my letters. 
 **Please note the stylish masking tape I used during the layout.





After I had attached all of my letters, I traced them with a pencil.




I removed the letters and painted them black. 


Here is where it got interesting. 
I took my new sign outside and proceeded to sand, stain, and hammer 75 years worth of vintage into it. 








I am really happy with the results!
Let me know what you think!
