    Go shopping!! :-D
    At home, I'm accused of not liking anything unless it's "ugly". So I just had to prove that, even I, like cute! I'd be willing to bet that not one of us here at the Stew could have passed this up.

    Okay... so maybe after it doesn't look so new, it'll be "ugly" enough for my garden. ;)

    That sign is a cutie, yep I would have grabbed it out of your hands too if I had seen it. I have oodles of sign hanging on my fence panels, they are great garden decor.

    What a great sign! I'd seen that slogan on tee shirts, but it's even better on your gate.
    I want to put up a sign on our fence that says, "Bees welcome" but my husband won't let me. He's afraid everyone who sees it will stop and tell him about swarms they want him to come get. We've been offered a batch of yellowjackets already this spring!

    Thanks all. There were a couple of other cute signs... but this one just jumped right off the shelf and into my hands. :D
    And Jane... who says you have to be your "bee" sign where the public could see it? ;)

    Our signs speak for us when we are not there. I have a sign in my garden, a bit of humor on history "On this spot in 1893 nothing happened. " It is hard to find as it is mostly hidden, you have to discover it. Like hidden treasures in our gardens, you have to look for them and we gardeners know all the dirt.

    Super sign Cheryl!!

    That's a good one Jerry! Once all the snow melts, perhaps you can post a photo of it?
