~The Sign~

I have been so excited to see what the
Hubs
thinks about his birthday present


A girlfriend came up with our
little farms name
years ago

The
Triple F
as in....
The
Friendly Forcum Farm

In Montana you are suppose to have
~Ranches~
well because this was a very old
~farmhouse~
we have always referred to it as the
~Farm~
It all started with this sign I got at a
 garage sale
for $3bucks
remember this.....
I bragged about this at
garage salen partay
she has them every weekend




Then I asked my blogger friend where she got
the cutest hook she had hanging from her house


By the way this house is for sale over here
at
Chronicles of Windy Ridge

So I went to
Hooks & Lattice
and saw this


This one is perfect for my oval sign

Then I asked my Uber talented interior designer
Jen at
Jen's Fleur de leis
to come up with something
maybe a rooster in it?



Whatever she did would be fine
I have so much faith in that girl



and this is what she did for me....
I am in awe of her talent



The hook arrives


Thank goodness for
 Brother Bill

Brother Bill getting all the
necessary measurments


Heading off to hang it up




How many Forcums does it take to
hang a sign?



Ok I have to brag about my Hubs
breathtaking landscaping

Can you see the sign at the bottom of the
driveway (far right)

There it is


My little nephew Tristan
is such a cutie

Now our little farmhouse feels complete!

If you would like for Jen to custom create a sign for you
please contact me and I can put you in touch with her
she is so talented and has very reasonable pricing!
