White Wednesday

For this "White Wednesday" I took some pictures of something I LOVE, old advertising. The old signs, to me, is a form of folk art. They were all original and most were one of a kinds done for specific businesses. Many of my old signs have that great chippy paint on them. Here are a few of my favorite, and I apologize for the photos. I have a family room with open beam ceilings, and most of my signs are hung up high!
