When I started selling barnwords signs I went through a long process trying to figure out my tags (not the kind that are # but actual paper things tied on the product). I love a good tag. I am drawn to a good tag. I had originally wanted to make each one from tiny watercolor paintings and hand written info...That lasted a minute. Well to be fair, longer than a minute. I did do a bunch of them. Then I started tying on a business card. Too conventional (and boring). Then I settled on my current tag which is an old black and white photo with my info on the back. I often have to cut up the photos so I end up with a few good tags from one. B & W photos are available for purchase at many antique stores but I ended up with a shitload from my relatives, actually. No one knew who any of the people were...so I didn't feel too bad cutting them up. My mother's aunts and uncles gave her a bunch. She gave them to me. I like the look. From the get go, I have used the line 'Got something to say?' on my tags and about my signs. ( I wish more people would take me up on it though and actually say something ) So today I saw a really cute thing online that said " I would love to hear from you. And you. And you, too. Questions, comments, stories, jokes, good music, recommendations, whatever you have to say, I'm all ears..." something something. I love that! I feel like that too! I would love people who buy my signs to contact me any time and tell me something.
If you were to buy a sign what would it say? Dont worry, its quite a hypothetical question...(unless of course, you want to buy it:) but like what would you love to see on a sign? Lots of people buy signs for someone else, so this is for you. What you would hang up in your home, office or doghouse or whatnot. On a side note... My challenge of writing a post every day for 30 days ends tomorrow!!! I love that I did it. Guess I had something to say! x
