Vintage signs make such great decorating pieces, and the good thing is, that even though it’s a real trend at the moment, you will usually find something completely unique!

Here’s a photo of a French vintage street sign that we found at a flea market in France a few years ago. It would have to be one of my favourite pieces in the house. The translation for it is “cul de sac of the women at the door”. A very eloquent way of saying it don’t you think? So a bit of fun!

You will usually find vintage signs at any good second hand shop. If you’re in Auckland, you are sure to find a huge selection of signs at Flotsam & Jetsam and I know that The Vitrine has a gorgeous old blackboard from England. Check them out!

For those of you preferring the net, I had little hunt around and found these vintage signs for sale on Etsy that I think would look great in any interior:

Have wonderful day and see you Friday with a little weekend project for you!

    One of my favourite shows is ‘American pickers’ and they are always on the hunt for cool vintage signs! I love them too…a little piece of social history! Those old bus roll black and white prints are great too!
