So lately I have been setting up little Le Noire Vintage pop up shops at events (burlesque shows , rockabilly shows, etc) and I've been very much in need of a SIGN.
I especially needed a sign since next month, I will be vending at the 1st Maritime Rockabilly Shakedown Festival!
I'm really excited to be the only vintage clothing seller, as well as the only antiques vendor!
So, what to do about a sign?! I had a VERY tight budget, so I was worried it would be a challenge. Luckily, I acquired a 1920s school house chalkboard that was in need of some TLC -- FOR FREE!
With a lil elbow grease, a few layers of chalk board paint, some wood glue in the joints and hinges, new nails, teacup print ribbon, old keys, old photos....
and VOILA!
Total cost: $25!
I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. The perfect mix of antique, kitsch, and DIY !
Also, holy crap I LOVE liquid chalk markers!! No dust!
That's all for today folks!
XOXO
