And the sign says..........


Don't you love signs? 
I do and if they are funny, 
even better. Today's feature
is Ice House Crafts. I was looking through her shop and 
this sign caught my eye. I used to work in a cubicle 
and I can definitely relate to this sign! And the one 
below is beyond funny! So read a little about one of 
my OFG Team members, Ice House Crafts. 
 
1. What is the name of your Etsy shop and why did you 
choose that name?
My etsy shoppe is called Icehousecrafts. I choose that 
name as when I started selling and buying online we lived 
in an old farmhouse of which was once an icehouse for 
the farm that we lived on. The walls in the icehouse 
part of the house were 24” thick stone. The farm was 
established in 1905. 
 

2. How long have you been on Etsy?
I’ve been selling on etsy since February 2008. 

3. What type of items do you offer?
Mostly on etsy I offer hand painted stenciled wood signs. 
I have also offered hand painted vintage pieces from time 
to time.  
 
4. How long have you been crafting?
I’ve been doing crafts since I was a young girl...
from crochet to macramé and finally to decorative 
painting. I’ve been painting fulltime since my 
middle son was a toddler so about 18 years for 
painting. 

5. Who or What inspires you?
Customers are a great 
source for inspiration. 
They give you  the framework 
for an idea and things 
just go from there.
6. What is your favorite item 
in your shop and why?
I have to say my favorite things 
in my etsy shoppe right now are 
my ouija board sign and wrong answer sign. The ouija 
board sign because as a young girl I was fascinated
with “how” it worked.  The wrong answer one, well 
it’s just obvious from looking at it as to why! LOL!
 
7. Other places where you can be found (Ebay, webstore, 
blog)

Thanks for the feature...I love creating signs that bring a smile or make a reader chuckle. Some of my best sayings are suggestions from my customers.

Have a wonderful day...I know that I am!
