A Little Piece of History

I know that I have mentioned many times the old farmhouse that we lost in a fire and how my husband pulled apart each board and nail so we could keep a part of our house close to our heart.

We have used the wood to make farm tables, coffee tables and frames.
When we decided to make mini chalkboards we didn't realize how much of a hit that they would become. Our talented carpenter , who happens to be our father, has now spent many hours cutting each piece of wood and masterfully nailing them together creating wonderful rustic chalkboards and frames. Each piece of wood is so unique that a frame can only be made from one board or the edges will not fit smoothly. I just wanted to share a little bit of the process with you so that you can fully appreciate this little piece of history.
These adorable chalk boards are available in our Etsy store. Just click here to order.

By the way, you will absolutely love our newest creation. I will share it with you tomorrow.

Whimsical Table Number Holders and Hand Cut Whimsical Number Cards

Our vision for The Funky Shack has been for a long time to be that place that every bride wants to visit for unique handcrafted wedding decor and custom orders. I know that I promised jewelry months ago and we have an exclusive artist but it is taking some time to get it up and running. Be patient and we will soon have great pieces for brides and the wedding party. For now we are concentrating on expanding our table top decor. After taking these pictures, I saw how beautiful the hand cut card looks in the holder that I decided to offer them together. This makes it convenient for the bride and she gets a unique and whimsical look for her tables. We started printing cards sometime last year and have done everything from numbers, to locations and storybook names. I just listed this table number holder in our Etsy store. It is listed as a set of 12 table number holders with 12 hand cut table number cards.

Thanks for reading and come back soon to see more creative wedding decor ideas.
