It's crunch time getting ready for The Little French Flea Market where I will be a vendor this weekend. It's my first time doing this market and I wanted to define my space with a personalized touch. I've been wanting a sign for a long time with my logo on it, but I was afraid my artistic skills weren't up to the challenge. It's getting to be the very last minute, and yesterday I was browsing the yard to see what I am taking to the market and I spotted this high school music stand with a chalkboard finish I used for my daughter's wedding three years ago.
It was perfect! The stand was already painted the right color and it already has some aged patina on it. All I had to do was do a little free-hand sketching that sort of looked like my logo. It didn't have to be perfect because the look of my blog header is very rustic anyway so I took a stab at recreating the look.
I have to say I'm pretty pleased with the outcome, and it will definitely give me exactly what I was looking for. I'm not even sure if I had more time that it would have come out any better, and I probably would have been really nervous trying to make it perfect.
Thanks for taking a peak.

What a great sign! I can't believe you free handed that...so awesome! Your blog is new to me and I'm a new follower. Some "Hens" from a new facebook group I've joined told me I should come over here and convince you to join us so I'm her to do that as well. We'd love to have you.

Did you get the email I sent you? I sent it to both addresses because I could not remember which one was right. I was wondering about Mondays vintage veil post
