Do you like our nephew's sign?

My nephew has had a new sign made for his mini-farm. He and my sister (his mother) breed dairy goats and have done exceedingly well with them. The cute little kids, and some of the older ones, have featured in my discussions from time to time. They now have a new sign for their gate and we were very impressed with it. It’s a metal cut-out and these are very popular here. We need something to put on the wall near the front door but want something unique. Several of the houses here have identical hangings which I think is a pity. We’ve been looking at what’s available and might settle in the end for something that features birds, perhaps magpies or willy-wagtails. We can choose our own design so could maybe have something made up from one of our photos. The photo is of our nephew’s sign.

I do like the sign, its very well done. I look forward to seeing what you come up with for a sign, birds are nice, but shouldn't there be a roo in the background somewhere, especially when you played host to so many for so many years before the move.

I think you are right. I guess any animal would come out okay in this type of work. I thought maybe a roo would be too 'blocky', too solid. Perhaps they could show us a mock-up of it before they do it.

I think it would be great for our place - not the same of course but perhaps roos and birds.

@LadyDuck I don't want to buy a commercial one and then find another one the same in our 'village'.

It really typifies their place as they have goats, geese and ducks and a big labrodor dog.

Here it is mostly 'Beware of dogs" I do not need any sign My over grown garden says it all (lol) You could pick that which is unique in your collection.

Yes, I do like the sign. Hmm... you've had some really good photos of the roos on your farm and several pictures of flowers you've taken from around the world... I'd have a hard time picking just one photo to use. I'll be very interested in seeing what you choose.

I guess they can do a mix so perhaps roos and birds, maybe with a wildflower thrown in.

@just4him I'd been looking at some lovely ones that just had magpies and I thought if we included kangaroos and they were to scale the magpies would be too tiny but I guess it needn't all be to scale.

@JudyEv it was a design around our name, with the images of Dogs. Metal like the one your nephew has. I think I still have it in the garage, but am scared to look.

Yes, I don't really want something that someone else within the complex has got. It doesn't matter too much I guess but I'd rather have something that is just 'ours'.

It is a fantastic sign. I really like it. We had a 'sign' made out of wood back in the day. I THINK we got it at Wisconsin Dells, or maybe we got it in Branson. Don't remember. But it just says "The Bauer's," and underneath, "Est. 2007." The year my wife and I got married. It hangs in our kitchen between the kitchen and living room.

That sounds as good a place as any for it. We bought our old gate sign that Vince's brother and his wife surprised us with when we went away once. It can't really go anywhere much here but we'll probably end up putting it up in the garage.

@porwest It would have been really hard to take this to the rubbish tip. It won't be in the way on the garage wall.
