Yeah, yeah.............girls just wanna have fun at the beach this time of year. Here in the hot and humid Southeastern states, beaches, lakes, ponds and pools are the first choice of people wanting to keep their cool! This is one of many fabulous old prints framed in the neatest painted wood frames. Great selection at SuzAnna's Antiques for every room in your home - you can glimpse more on the wall in the last photo below.
If you can't get to a watering hole on a hot day, just head out to SuzAnna's in Raleigh. They're not lakeside property, the only standing body of water may be in the birdbaths scattered around the yard, however they will have ice-cold water for you as eloquently stated on this sign. And.............while sipping and looking at charming signs, here are a few more which caught my eye when visiting the shop with my granddaughter the week before last.
Now this one I need for my potting shed................
......... and we all have something vintage that needs identifying - I'm thinking dh!!!!
If you have a little cabin in the woods, next to a pond, with a view of a mountain......you also need a sign so we can all stop by to visit - and wouldn't that sundial be perfect in your little garden.
Isn't this a fabulous sign for your place at the beach.........nothing fancy or contrived (have you seen the crazy names some people give their beach properties?), this one just states the obvious.................signage perfection.
Oh! a barn, how I'd love a real barn-red BARN.......then perhaps a few chickens, a rooster, my own fresh eggs.............an old John Deere tractor..............a farm!!!!!
I don't have a garage but if I did I'd definitely take this one home and hang it on the door - after all MY car would be on one side, and MY stuff on the other................dh's car would probably still be parked in the driveway! 
Ahhh! MUSIC. Who can't use a music sign to prop up wherever music is playing around your house or in the garden, and on lovely old barn board.
Susie and Anna - thanks for being there for us, come rain, come shine.............come 102 degrees, and keeping the water cold! You are the best shopkeepers ever - welcoming, kind, funny, helpful, talented, generous, beautiful. We love your shop - we love sweet Linda and others who help you - we love YOU!

Oh Mary! Love the post! I always want to buy all of their signs, but I don't have a place for them!! Hope you have a nice day!! Hugs and kisses, Vanessa
ReplyDeleteI wonder if they have a "Dragging" sign. I could hang that over my office door. I think it would get a few laughs.
ReplyDeleteYour granddaughter is a beauty.
You find the best shoppes!!
ReplyDeleteTons of fun stuff! Your granddaughter is lovely!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish this shop was in California so I could visit, too. If I ever get over your way, I'll be sure to go there. The signs are great as is everything you show us from there.
ReplyDeleteMary, I just love this shop!! Every time you show photos I so wish I could visit... Look at your granddaughter, what a beautiful girl!!! xxoo, Dawn

SuzAnna's sounds so lovely. I love all the pics you have shared. I clicked on their website and saw a link to you...one of their fav customers! Awesome.

Oh Mary, what a bargain you got in your picture. I just LOVE to get a bargain !
ReplyDeleteHi- I was wondering if you'd share your email address and mailing address with me so I can send you your free gift (for leaving a comment on my blog). Everyone who left a comment between June 28th and July 1st gets a free present in honor of Vanessa Valencia's Fanciful Twist Tea Party! I haven't decided if I'm going to do a web gift or a snail mail gift so I need both. I promise I won't share your addresses with anyone else and I will only use them for this giveaway. I would like to keep them on file to give you future info on Flotsam and Jetsam happenings but I completely understand if you'd like me to toss your info after I send you your gift.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much and have a happy 4th-
Stacey Newton
Love all of the signs. I am going to have to visit that shop the next time I am in that area!

Hi,
ReplyDeleteJust wanting to write from Scotland and say what a beautifull blog you have. I don't normally comment but I love how many pics you post and the descriptions. That link you added today is just a huge tease as being in Scotland, I can't do some of my own treasure hunting. I long for stuff in my home that remind me of my grandmother's house. It really tears at my heart strings but I love it. Keep up the good work! I will one day, come rain or shine, make it to their shop! x Bridge
Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteI love that vintage sign.
Thanks for your nice comments.
Have a Happy 4th.
Rosemary
SuzAnna's looks like such a fabulous place!
ReplyDeleteI've got to get together with my sister and head over there!
