The Polka Dot Flea has moved to a larger building this year on the Central Florida Fairgrounds
So......I built a big new Polka Dot Flea sign to go with the big new building
I have more ideas for perking up the front, but this sign was my first project. It will go on the grass outside the entrance
I found these metal letters at Renningers a great antique market about 30 minutes outside Orlando in Mount Dora.
I cut a piece of plywood and then built a frame around it. I got all of the wood from my scrap pile
When I recently redid my kitchen I saved the old faux back
splash...Horder...Horder.... I knew I would use it for something. I was able to glue it on and then used dark wax to age it a little.
I thought long and hard about how to attach the metal letters, since they are hollow in the back, I could not glue them and I would have needed mighty long screws ...So, in the end I attached them with wire
And then did a practice run by setting it up in my back yard to insure no snafus on show day
It measures almost 9 ft long!
That Should get peoples attention......I am thrilled to put a big check mark on this project......DONE!!!
Happy Creating

The sign is soooo cute and so you! I love the size..and you can decorate your garden the rest of the year!!
And it's not hoarding....it's planning for the future at a time when you know you'll be using it for something and just aren't sure what or when, but you do know that you'll kick yourself later if you toss it now!!! That's a long-winded version of "rationalization". I do a lot of that!!
Oh my goodness, Carol! Such an awesome sign for your Flea! I so ♥ how the faux tin ceiling tiles look behind the rustic letters.
Carol your sign is amazing. I love it and it will get lots of attention for sure. You are one talented lady. A super star!!
Have fun.
