The lady who owns the shop is one of the very sweetest people I have ever met.... and I admire the fact that she remembers every. single. person's. name..... that's pretty amazing, considering her shop clientele is HUGE!
Aaaanyway, for the looooongest time, she had a beautiful restaurant sign displayed above one of her clothing racks.... it's fairly large, about the wider than a king size bed and roughly 15-18 inches high.... I had admired it for such a long time and never ever asked about it. I had actually assumed that it was just a really cool display piece she used in her store.
Eventually, curiosity got the better of me and I inquired, she said it was definitely a consignment item and the price tag was $200. A little more than I like to spend on a thrifted item; however, finding a sign this size for such a small price (as far as signs go), I just couldn't pass it up.... She agreed to sell for $175 cash. NO PROBLEM.... I'll gladly take that baby off your hands....
Ho-ly buckets! This things weighs a TON! Thus, the reason for only the sneak peak you see here.... I just couldn't lift the thing on my own to get a better shot....
It looks like it's from the inside of a restaurant. You know, the ones with all of the kitschy pictures and signs everywhere? Aaaanyway, this big green beauty will find it's place in our future finished basement family room.... I am so looking forward to seeing it anchored to my wall.
Happy Monday peeps! I hope you can find room in your hearts for some lovely thrifty-ness too ;)
