| My hex /house blessing sign is made from an old wooden piece that held a dresser mirror. (I got it out of the trash on the side of the road! LOL)
Think "primitive" on the painting, wouldya!? LOL

| It's design is taken "loosely" from some of the Pennsylvania Dutch hex signs. I just changed it to a "house blessing" theme. |

| Hex signs were used to "ward off evil spirits." They are very large sometimes and people would hang them on the front of their barns or homes. - Yes Des arc, a house blessing is exactly what it is. Again, very nice, and yes you are quite a character - make me smile and giggle. Thanks. Sal |
