There is a small market from a local church here, they only started so I so not think there will be many visitors. BUT it is adjacent to our main street, there are lots of people walking up and down inclusive tourists. They said that I could put a sign up on their front lawn to entice people to get in to my stall. I need ideas how to make (not buy) a fast, pretty and cheap sign. I don't think that I will make a lot of money there as they are only starting but it has a lot of potential, as our local nursery closed down. I thought of an old bed sheet, but I guess there are better ideas. backyardnursery.freeforums.net/ |

I guess it depends on how cheap is cheap. A piece of plywood, a few stakes, some waterproof paint and an artist friend could whip up something.

And I feel like I should be part of that other forum even if my backyard is rather um large.  |

That is actually a good idea, paper glued on plastic (or hardyplank). I could use my ten year old daughter she is very much into drawing (but does not care for spelling). On the computer would look more professional, but less exciting. backyardnursery.freeforums.net/ |

You've not said how often you're set up there, so I'm thinking 1-2 days weekly, a few hours; therefore a portable sign.
Maybe you can get one of those two-panel folding signs like realtors use, to which you could glue your sign(s); if you're doing that, think decoupage; no reason not to mix computer-generated print with custom artwork ( by some doubtless-to-be-famous artist ), pressed flowers, leaves, road-Frisbees, whatever is flat enough to glue on that suits your fancy and business model.

in the interests of child welfare, I suggest the paper - if you must use your daughter,which undoubtedly will attract considerable attention from passersby, afix her to the backing board with comfortable bindings - gaffer tape or glue can be difficult to remove from hair and clothing.. T |

Ahahaha
I like the mixed media idea: cute Though perhaps not your daughter. You guys slay me.
