Well good morning!! Today I wanted to show you some of the things I make for our business.
First lets go back tot he beginning. The wood signs is actually the 1st thing we were selling at small local craft shows. A friend of ours (which is no longer with us) was selling me boards that was the left overs from a cabinet company in the OKC area. They were the prefect size for wood signs. I would paint or stain each board. Then I would put vinyl on them. I would either paint again a different color or just seal it with clear spray paint. If I painted again I would wait until it dried and then pulled the vinyl off and sprayed it with clear. That is all. I loved those signs but after our friend passed I had to find something else to do because I didn't want to cut boards. (The saw scares me!! LOL)
Windows. Again a friend of ours does remodels on homes. He changes out the old windows. I asked him if he would sell me the old windows he said yes because he was just going to throw them out. I took them home cleaned them up put new cocking in them and put vinyl on them. Took them to a 2 day show and sold al of them the 1st day. Now that friend is moving and I am running out of windows. So I thought what about metal??
One day I thought man hubby has all of this metal just laying around what if I cut it into cute door hangers. As I cut this cute little camper and flower hubby said cut another flower and put them together to make a 3D flower. He showed me how to rivet the two together and I was hooked!! My favorite is the cotton. This fall more designs are coming.
With every door that closes God opens a new one for me. I sometimes find wood pieces and make signs. At shows there is also someone selling windows and I buy them to put the vinyl on. Those things will always be in my blood.
Happy Junkin'
