Wednesday’s Word
Here we go, another wonderful word for Wednesday. I absolutely love those gloriously worn floor tiles, and the battered cabinet as island is delicious. But finding an old shop sign doesn’t mean you have to put it in your kitchen:
I don't see any, do you?
If a completely random word with no apparent relationship to anything in the kitchen weren’t bad enough, there’s even a misplaced apostrophe to completely make my day!
Hi Kate – I’ll admit you’re probably right about the apostrophe – I just couldn’t resist it!
At first, I thought that was an apostrophe too, but I suspect it’s a bracket. (Hope that doesn’t unmake your day!)
If someone installed the CYCLES sign there “just because” then it does seem a little silly. But maybe the sign is all that’s left from the grandfather’s business or it has some other very personal meaning. Who knows?
What I don’t understand is putting a KITCHEN sign in the kitchen. Maybe these are people who eat out all the time and wouldn’t recognize their own kitchen without signage? It’s beyond me…
The whole signs/words thing is interesting. I love both typography and old signs, so these are some of my favorite posts from your blog. Hope you’ll continue to share them!

PS Have you seen the THINK letters at CB2?
