I hear the leaves whirling in the driveway. A sign of things to come. The change in season is echoed by the changes in my shop and barn. Exterior repairs to what nature tore down. Interior editing has been a goal for years (see my first blog entry 3/17/11) but never has come to pass -
until now.

Jim is in mourning as he says goodbye to many of his objets trouves. He has such a good eye; there are many still being kept. I'll be able to put them to use in future folk art assemblages.
Speaking of signs, here are some photos of signs I made for local venues. I'll need to make a new sign for my reassembled gallery, too.

Wow! WOW! Wow!
I keep enlarging everything and squinting over my glasses.
SO AWESOME!
I want to go outside and paint my fence with flowers and animals and...
It would never be as cool as your work but you inspire me so much!
Love it!

None of these were primped before photographing. Enlarged, you can see they are well used! The Chef sandwich board is removed every night from the main sign and magically reappears around noon.
(Cindi- a good project for your scroll saw!)
I just love your signs they are such fun. The circus one is brilliant. You should win an award for brightening up your town.
Thanks Amanda! I did hear some comments about me making more signs for downtown. I haven't photographed all the ones in use yet ( I take them for granted). Maybe I'll post my own new one when done?
Post them all! A sign gallery will be fascinating viewing.
Take nothing for granted!
(Now there's a motto for this date!)

Every one of these signs show your incredible imagination. So fun and so unique. It's great to see them in their environments.
Thanks Gwen. Good to hear from you!
Amanda- I will try to photograph the ones remaining before the snow falls. Didn't want to take a good subject (signs) and, to paraphase singer Leo Koettke, pound them into the ground, er, posts. But now you've given me permission! Will see how far I get...this season is too short. Especially in New England.
wow Robin
you are an incredible artist .....
just .... wow
You ,my dear, have painted some incredible signs! I agree with Amanda that you should post them ALL. I know I'd love to see them, each and every one of them.
I am loving the garden goddess!
You make it impossible to drive by, good work!
