Gimme an S!


And a T. And an H. And a couple of L's. And about 13 E's.

What's that spell? Nothing. Unless you're an art director that loves great big letters, and then it spells: FUN, FUN, FUN!

While I can't reveal my source for the truckload of old sign letters I picked up this week, let's just say that one man's trash is another woman's treasure. And I have big plans for these alphabet jewels.

You'd be surprised how many places throw away stuff like this because they can't see a use beyond it's original purpose. Are you kidding me??? This is recycling at it's best, people! I can't tell you how many times I've rescued a cool store display from the fate of a trash dumpster, just by simply asking the store manager "Can I have that when you're done with it?" It never hurts to ask.
