The French Connection

Have you ever fallen in love with an inanimate object, something that was totally silly and didn't make sense?  Well, that's what happened when I found this board at the salvage yard.  It was a six foot long 1x12 board that someone had painted a beautiful pale green color.  It's almost like a wood stain that penetrated the board and when the paint started flaking you could see the green stain underneath.  I was determined to keep the board intact and do something wonderful with it. 

 Since I'm selling at the Little French Flea Market in Tarzana in two weeks, I thought it would be fun to paint the words The Little French Flea Market on it or some combination of those words, but they just wouldn't fit.

So after I painted the words The French I decided on finishing it as The French Connection.  Then because I wanted to really make this more than just a board, I also found some used molding at the salvage yard and asked my husband to frame the sign to make it a little more professional looking.   I think this is my favorite sign to date.  I couldn't wait to finish it so I could get it into the shop.  I really appreciate your visits so thanks for stopping by.

By the way, does anyone know what's happening with Google?  I heard they're making some changes this summer.

I may be partying at...
