This little piggy went to market...........

Geez, Louise, what a week it's been.

While I've had no car (stolen,)

I've tried to keep busy with little things.

Walk with me, if you will,

through the saga of....

the plaque.

So, I was planning a birthday party last summer...

"Cafe des Artistes."

And while I was at a thrift shop, I espied this sign...

 It was my inspiration for a welcoming sign...

Come on in....

 and welcome to...

Cafe des Artistes!

Next, it was reinvented as this Tiffany sign

for a "Breakfast at Tiffany's" bridal shower/brunch

I helped give in the spring...

 And now, 

it's ready to be reinvented for the third time....

This here piggy piggy was my inspiration......

Year's ago I went to Clint Eastwood's

"Hog's Breath Inn" in Carmel, CA...

So I decided to whip up a sign.

I painted the plaque in French Linen,

and traced some letters onto it...

 Then I painted in the letter's with Navy chalk paint...

 leaving space for Mr. Piggy...

 But I'm thinking the pig head 

works better with pig breath!!!!!!!

 I sanded, waxed to age, 

and then attached the ceramic head

and two iron coat hooks......

Two holes at the top for attaching to the wall,

and there you have it.

A unique coat rack/key rack, whatever.

It's going to market ( Greenwood Antiques ) today.

$55

And this little piggy...

stayed home.

(Also $55.)

Yep, I'm happier than a pig in............

you know...
