Sign and Flea Market

This past week-end was the big Springfield Extravaganza at the Clark County fairgrounds here in Ohio....it's huge...over 2000 vendors this year I think....
 And this sign is my Mother's Day gift!!!  How cool is it?!?!??!  Someday it will be Mighty's ---
the child has whole obsession with shoes and she's not even 2 yet....
It was even one of the first words she said really clearly...
 We are in love with old signage like most other people out there who decorate with vintage bits and pieces
----it's usually way out of our price range.
 We mostly just Oooo and Ahhhh over the really cool ones, but this one caught my eye because it was not the typical "old sign" you usually see..... and it's for shoes...so how can you go wrong?????
 The price tag said $50 which was making me really think about it and the gentlemen that were running the booth said "what are you looking at or thinking about there?" 
When we said it was the sign, one of them said "Let me help you decide--I'll take $30 for it"
SOLD!
 I also bought these numbers and letters...
That's the year we got married 
and the first letters of my kids' names which I have another idea for....
 They were 2 for $1 and pretty sticky but I used some WD-40 and they cleaned right up....
I'm in love with my sign though...
I could've painted one to look old, but you just can't replicate REAL patina....
Love the style of her, the colors, the lettering...
she's a keeper!
