Custom Driftwood Signs

One of our customer's favorite goodies are our custom-made driftwood signs.  I am often told that people love their rustic authenticity.  Tomorrow is the first day of spring and our driftwood signs are a wonderful way to add a unique and charming element to your front porch or garden gate.  Indoors, they add interest when combined with a grouping of photos on the wall or hung above a doorway in your home.

We love designing them with our customers and really love to hear about all the neat places they end up like this one, that will be going on a boat!


This 5' sign went to a waterfront home in coastal Texas...

And this to a home in Cape Cod, MA.  A replica of the local lighthouse was hand-painted on this sign...

Another sign made for a boat...

They don't all go to beach towns, this one went to a mountain home in North Carolina...

We have many customer's order their family's name...
...


We also stock driftwood signs with some of our favorite saying's...


Look for our Spring-inspired driftwood signs coming soon!

March Beach Walk

A walk along the beach never requires good reason or a destination but today's just happened to be...seals.  It's the right time of year to see them here on Long Island and this morning's tide was perfect.  But the seals must have been off swimming, fishing or lounging on rocks off some other beach because they were not here.  Its about a 2 mile walk to get to them but with so much  beauty along the way, disappointment was as absent as the seals today.

Buoys on Driftwood

A path to the beach

A lone, simple shell

Beach dog, tracking deer prints on the beach...thus the sand on his nose

Seaside horses



Where the seals should have been, instead we found...

a lone Seagull and...

...a pair of Brandt ducks

Jingle shells

Crazy dog, swimming in March!

A purple sea urchin...1st time I have seen any sea urchin on Long Island

Favorite driftwood of the day, love the rock embedded in the wood.
