From the barn to our wall: An Antique Sign.

Old Antique Bakery Sign found in barn.
Months ago, I climbed up a rickety ladder to the second floor of our 19th century built barn.  It really is a cool place, but one I don't like to frequent - because of bats. I don't know how many have made their home up in the high ceiling and I don't plan on staying in it long enough to really find out!  But, the barn is equipped with stacks of old wood and a few piles of this and that's that I wanted to look through.  I found an old window I will be converting into a cork board and this old sign. It was in a wooden box and covered in years of dirt and grime.  I love the lettering and and as far as I can tell it went, we think, to an old bakery.  It was easy enough to wash and Mr. C got it ready to hang.  It hangs over my Grandfather's organ desk!

What do you think it was from?

Antique Mantle Silhouette decoration.



New to our fireplace!  The family in silhouettes. Created using a profile photo of each of our family members and edited them in photoshop.  I printed each one and decoupaged them onto an old antique painted board I found in our corn crib.  I took out each of our names that were printed right below each silhouette for publishing.
