New England Summer

7.16.13

Since the temperature is still in the 90's and the beach seems to be the only 

thing on my mind, my focus for signs is still beach themed.

This group was made from upcycled found wood.  I love how my Funki Little Frog Milk Paint looks when I use aged wood. 

Today I completed and listed in The Funki Little Frog a great group of New England themed signs. I wanted them to have a vintage weathered clam shack, fish market, beach theme. I know as a  true New Englander  my "Chowder" signs really should have read "Chowdah"  I will put that on the list for signs next week.

The local to me beach signs are just a start, I will be adding more through the summer.  If you would like to see a certain sign, please let me know.  

Beach Signs! and more!

Today was a very productive day at The Funki Little Frog.  I completed 20 new signs, and listed 10 in my shop.  The other 10 are going to Small Potatoes tomorrow.  An awesome new gift shop in Norwich Connecticut.  

I also gave my Etsy shop a "cleaning." I added plenty of beach signs, so you can keep your summer vacation a very close memory.  I also added a great new "ICE CREAM" sign, perfect for a kitchen, dessert table at a wedding or birthday party, or would also be a great decor for a restaurant. 

Take a look!  Let me know what your favorite is,

 I would love to hear from you,

I love it when a customer asks me to create a custom sign, it usually gives me the chance to create a color or style I may have never thought to create myself.  

Below are a few designs that I have added to my shop, and a few unique pieces waiting to be added soon.  

Always check back often, since I try and add new pieces every month.

A year ago on June 4th, I opened my new shop, The Funki Little Frog.

The plan was to offer fun bright colored signs with phases that would make you smile. This shop was just for fun and I really had no plan of it becoming more popular than my Funki Folk Art shop.  After 170 sales it has grown larger than I ever imagined in one year.  I just was happy to sell my first sign within 1 day of opening my shop

 "Sandy toes & Salty kisses" has become my most popular sign,  it only seems fitting for that sign to be my 1 year anniversary giveaway!

Since my son was born, I always refered to him as "my little frog."  It only seemed fitting to name my newest Esty shop after him, and have a frog themed 1st birthday party.  Even though the party was seven months ago, I wanted to share the pictures. 

 I insisted I was going to keep the party simple, that all changed once I started browsing party ideas on Pinterest.  I tried out fondant for the first time, and loved it. Even though I didn't expect a 90degree humid day in September, which led to me learning humidity and fondant do not mix.  And of course we had cupcakes, in my mind no party is complete without them.

 Everyone had a wonderful time, and my little frog enjoyed himself, and that is the most important part.

I love collecting cake stands, they make perfect cupcake stands.  They don't even have to match, the more colorful the better!

I had so much decorating the cake and cupcakes.  The little frogs were my favorite, and actually really easy to make.  You can find the tutorial here

Our chalkboard door was the perfect place for everyone to write birthday wishes.

He really loved that cupcake.  I really love those big blue eyes.

Now that spring has arrived and Wedding season has started, I wanted to share a few of the custom and fun wedding signs that I have made in the past. Sorry there are so many, it was not easy to choose.

My Funki Folk Art signs are always a unique addition to any wedding, adding a unique rustic touch. 

Here are a few of my favorites I have created since opening my shop in 2008.
