Free Weeds!

I found the cutest sign on Pinterest; FREE WEEDS! 


Doesn't every gardener need a sign like this? 

I decided to make my own. I found an old cabinet door sitting in my garage. 


I gave it a couple coats of primer. 


Then a coat of some leftover blue paint. While it was still wet I wiped some of the blue paint off with a rag to try and give it a bit of distressed look. 


Then I free handed some lettering. I could have gotten all fancy but really, it's a sign for a garden. I think it should be kind of rustic. 


I took some sandpaper to it to make it look even a bit more distressed then hung it up on our garden fence. 




I'm thinking it might need a bit more sanding for an even rougher look. 


In our little town quite a few people go walking in the early morning or evening right by our garden so my little sign is sure to get some attention. I'm sure I'll get plenty of laughs from it but really, I'm hoping someone will take my sign serious! Doesn't every gardener wish some passerby would take them up on the offer of taking the free weeds?
