Giveaway!

I was contacted by  Ramsign   a small Danish company that specializes in manufacturing and selling classic enamel signs (house signs and house numbers)  based upon original designs and techniques.  Environmentally friendly,  their  signs consist of iron and porcelain enamel.

They offered to sponsor a Giveaway of a house number sign using from 1 up to 5 digits with avalue of up to $99  plus  free shipping worldwide so everyone can participate!

Signs are so popular now (outdoors and in) and these will work with any style home, be it vintage, traditional  seaside, or modern.

  Be sure to check out  Ramsign  for  their amazing variety of designs and types of house signs and house numbers available.

The Metropolitan is a classic design in  white on blue that has been a standard in street signage since the days of Hans Christian Andersen.  It is European  sign tradition at it's best.  

The Highlander elegantly compliments most any setting.  Black text is set-off elegantly on a white background, resulting in a visually easy-to-read sign.

Arrowhead is a rustically designed series, combining the fine European sign tradition, revived in classic dark green. The Arrowhead is advantageous if you are seeking a casual yet classic look.

The Lighthouse series is  a charming design inspired by nostalgia of the seaside, awakening   feelings of carefree walks on the beach, beautiful sea shells,  and long summer evenings outdoors.  The characteristic rust red house numbers  have their origin in the small fisherman's village  located at the Northern

 tip of Denmark.

The  Engelhardt series is a tribute to the Danish architect and designer Knud V. Engelhardt (1882-1931).  The house numbers are the cornerstone of a signage concept Knud V. Engelhardt developed and delivered in 1927 to the Municipality of Gentofte, north of Copenhagen.

The Rules are Simple 

1.   Be a follower,  New or Old,  and  leave a comment 

that you are a friend.   Please specify. 

2. Please visit Ramsign and leave a separate comment as to which style your prefer.  

3.  Blog about  this  Giveaway  or post it on your sidebar and  let me know in a separate comment that you did so!

Remember this is 1-5 Digits – Value up to $99 


Ends Wed., January 18 at 12 Midnight PST

Until next time, Honey
