Happy Monday! Here’s hoping you had a lovely weekend, including a wonderful Earth Day on Saturday! It was chilly and rainy in Boston, but that didn’t stop Sam and me from trekking downtown to the March for Science. Obviously no march/rally is complete without a pithy sign:
I couldn’t keep it just about science of course… it seems like pretty much everything is under threat right now….
I know what you’re thinking: “I love your sign, but this is a home decor blog.” You’re so right! And this post is actually about a different sign, one that I got for my house. So there!
I saw this sign floating around the internetz, and just had to have it for our home. The design is by Kristin Joiner of 622 Press, and I found a yard sign version available on Cafe Press through the WAWH Shop (all proceeds go to support the Wisconsin Alliance of Women’s Health).
I bought two of them — one for the front and one for the back. To hang them, I punched holes in each corner and then mounted them with screws.
They’re little, but they’re legible and I like them. Putting up signs is just a teeny tiny thing compared to all the action and energy that’s needed to actually fight for those values, but at a time when many people are scared and feel alone I think it means something.
Carol says
Thank you!
Sage says
Glad you enjoyed, Carol!
Marcia says
As a woman and a scientist, I am with you all the way!
Sage says
Awesome on both counts!

I love it! Is there a boat version? ;-). Or just a smaller one … I’ll have to look for one.
Are your signs laminated?
Love,
Mom
Sage says
I don’t know about smaller, but these are lawn-sign sized (like the size that a political lawn sign would be), so maybe perfect size for the boat! They’re not laminated, but they’re plastic like a lawn sign. You can see them in person soon, hurry on up here! xoxo
Alice says
Excellent, thank you!!
Sage says
Thanks Alice!
Lynne says
Love having DIYers that care about the same things I do. Keep up the good work.
Sage says
We enjoy having readers like you, Lynne!

I like that one; I haven’t seen it. The one I see around here says “We don’t care where you’re from, we’re glad you are our neighbor” in Spanish, English, and (I assume) Arabic. I’m just not a sign person, or a bumper sticker person, but I am a t-shirt person.
Sage says
I like that one, too!
