Namesake Sign à la French Country

 No, this isn't me awkwardly posting belated Christmas stuff in January, this is a sign I made featuring my last name. My mom found the frame at Value Village a few months ago, but the art within was some folk art painting that had nothing to do with the fleur-de-lis on the metal inset. 
So, I flipped the picture around and painted on the black back of it. I whipped this vintage French ephemera font out of my mind based on the French Country style of the rest of the frame, and went to town with some white acrylic paint and paint pen. Voilà!

Souvenirs

I enjoyed collecting a few souvenirs during the course of my trip. I got a postcard featuring a vintage cover of Anne's House of Dreams from Green Gables in PEI. The marble-base bust is from Urban Cottage Antiques & Collectables in Halifax--I chalk painted it Old White. The Fleurdelisé is from the antique store on Île d'Orléans.
