I am a table.
Not just any table.
I am a beautifully crafted, mahogany, polished, extendable table.I can extend to seat at least 12 guests or slide right down to family size of 6.
I have been much loved since I moved into this family. I have listened to the happy chatter at dinner time of the family as they shared the events of the day, and as they gathered nightly, to read the Bible and pray. There was always laughter, and happy celebrations with many guests around me. All were welcome. Sadly those days are gone, the house is silent....

I stand alone in the almost empty dining room that was once filled with so much love and laughter, hoping for a new family to love me.
I have been a part of this home for 45 years but now I face an uncertain future. The children have grown, but none need me. I look great for my age, and even have a matching sibling sideboard, 4 chairs and 2 fancy carvers and a storage frame for the removable pieces.
My family hate to part with me. I live in Mosman, NSW, waiting....hoping for a new family who would love to welcome me into their home. I don't cost much any more these days (only about $260 Ono) but I am worth so much more and ever so wanting to be part of your family.

If you would like me to come live with you, please DM Cheryl
I will be available for pick up on Saturday 6th Nov.
Hopefully yours forever,
Table

Sooo excited to be featured in Signcraft magazine after 30 years of being inspired by the many amazing contributors to the magazine. Time to give back to my favourite industry.

I never dreamt of being a signwriter, but ever since watching my grandfather forming beautiful letters with pen and ink, I have loved beautiful lettering. I began my working life as a schoolteacher. After 8 years in the classroom, I decided on a change, and enrolled in a 2-year show-card and ticket-...

Neschen easydot blackboard vinyl is my favourite new discovery. Sadly i can't be at the 50th Letterheads to demonstrate in person, but look out for the showing of my pre-recorded seminar and take a free sample to try for yourself.

This artwork was done on Neschen Easy Dot Vinyl. When it was done, I rolled it up, popped it in a mailing tube and sent it to the client...easy!!
See more at Letterheads 50 Cincinnati! Grab some and try it out.!!
