Fantastic End-of-the-Year Giveaway!!!


Congratulations to Jo—the winner of this giveaway!

Many months have passed since my last giveaway.  So, I guess I'm a bit overdue!
But I have great news!!!

RAMSIGN, a Danish company that produces beautiful, classic porcelain-enamel signs,
 has graciously donated a "sign of your choice" for my final giveaway of 2010!


Here's a brief history of the company from their website:

"Porcelain enameled signs has a long tradition in Europe. They were originally
manufactured in large quantities at a number of enamel factories, for example
Glud & Marstrand's Fabrikker in Denmark which were also suppliers
of porcelain enameled cookware to the European homes.


 During the decades following WWII many consumers turned to cheaper,
mass produced signs, made from plastic and other low cost materials. Moreover,
in the beginning of the sixties companies turned to mass advertisement and the
authorities seized [ceased] to order enameled car number plates. Consequently,
almost all enamel production was eventually closed down.


In 1991 Ramsign revived the production of porcelain enameled signs by the
help of skilled craftsmen with life long experience. Today the signs are still
produced by hand with the original stencil technique and porcelain enamel,
 also referred to as vitreous enamel, or glass enamel. "





As you can see, any of their quality, hand-crafted signs would make an attractive 
addition to your home.

As the winner, you will have the choice of style, trim, and typeface for your sign.


And, you will get your choice of a house number plaque, as shown
in the images above...




OR 
a name plate, as seen in these two examples...



OR
one of the charming door signs.

Any sign you see on the website, with the exclusion of the address plaque, can be
customized just for you...
the winner!

  26. I'm a follower and completely entranced by these signs. They're so vintage but new, and I love that they're bringing back an old art form. Some of my ancestry is from Denmark and I'd love to have a sign that reflects this. I think this is one of the coolest giveaways I've seen.
