Papered Plaques

Lettering painted on paper, paper applied to painted wood. This process is giving our signs such depth! These 5.5" square plaques can be drilled and hung by ribbon or we can attach a sawtooth on back or simply place it in an easel. Complete personalization can be used on this nifty nick-knack. Start with your base paint or stain on the wood, we'll find a perfect paper to complement. Top it off with the phrase you need: from "Please Remove Your Shoes" to "Shh. Baby Dreaming". Email your desire and we'll zip out examples of fonts from which you can choose. Each personalized 5.5"x 5.5" wood plaque is $8

Salutations to our winners

We would like to give each of our winners two Simply Salutations blocks. One for you and one for a friend. A simple gesture to let someone know you were thinking about them. Now, pick a color, (does not need to be from the picture). This is for the paper on the front and back of the block, so any color will do. Please order only one color for both of your blocks. (it's easier on us) Pick your favorite color or a color that will complement where it will be used. This gift can sit on your dresser, desk, kitchen counter. I have one in my kitchen where I put a motivational thought each day. If you are a 'visiting teacher' these are great to give to the people you visit. Each month you can print out the thought and this little block can be where they put it. Just an idea. My most humble apologies to our winners for not posting their prizes sooner. (darn camera) Each block measures approx. 1.25" x 1.5" and stands 4". Perfect to place on a desk.

An apple a day...

Yum!
These are great stuffed in a bowl on your coffee table or tucked on a shelf. Made from fabric that we paint for color and texture and bake in our cinn-illa (silly word for cinnamon and vanilla) fragrance, they look and smell so yummy. You can order Braeburn (red)or Granny (green)
This basket of apples is currently hanging on my front door in place of my old tired wreath.
Each apple is approx. 5" high~$8
OR you can order 3 for $20. (Basket is not included)
Keep checking back! We are working on lemons, limes, oranges and ...

thanks, Teacher!

Had to thank the teachers for helping my kids. Made these reversible Simply Salutations blocks in a teaching print to show my gratitude.
The gesture was well received.

Hint Hint

Just a teaser as to what's coming. Our "Stuffers" were a BIG seller last year and we are itchin' to be stichin' again.
We put our fabric creations through an aging process to make them look properly primmed and 'tiqued.
Painted, stained and baked to perfection these pumpkins look and SMELL so good.
You'll have to catch us at the Santa Clara, Utah Swiss Days Craft Fair this fall... come early as we tend to sell out.
Wait 'til we post the witch hat. It's positively spellbinding.
Group of three pumpkins $60
Have to give props to Tennessee Ridge Primitives for helping our creative process!
AND Keep the comments coming on our postings this week at all of our blogsites. We're picking random comments to bestow a gift upon. Winners and prizes will be posted on Saturday!
