Have you seen chalk board flags?
I came across these at Hobby Lobby in a pack of 12 and under 6 dollars.
They come with the string for hanging and a piece of chalk.
I tried a little banner for my studio with the word CREATE.
First I wrote in the letters block style with chalk.
Then I painted right over the chalk with white paint.
Hey, chalk paint!! LOL
Lastly to accent the letters, I painted my cottage roses
in and around the letters with rose buds, vines and leaves.
Hung in my studio in front of the window.
I can think of many ways to use the chalk board flags banners.
Back them with fabric,
use separately and write a small word.
Turn on the side and form a little flag by adding a stem.
Reminder notes with a decorative clothes pin.
These 6 are permanent since I painted them,
but since they erase easy, you could use them over and over for many banner signs.
I still have 6 left for another word banner or several flags.
As a side note~~
Today I started painting my kitchen cabinets.
I'll have updates soon.
Think of me as I am swinging a paint brush~~
It's 102 degrees here today.
Happy Summer!!
~~till next time, Southern DayDreams~~

I have never seen the chalk board flags before and you did such a beautiful job painting them. Good luck on the cabinets, can't wait to see yours. Ours is slowly getting done.
what a cute thing!
How cute is that! You are full of so many creative ideas. We won't talk about how that would look if I painted them! 102 degrees- yikes! We're having such a cool summer and you are boiling down south! Good time to be indoors and painting.
OK, the decision has been made. I'm finding our local Hobby Lobby today and going there! I've never been to one, but I do know there is one in The Twin Cities! Celeste, this is BRILLIANT! LOVE THIS!!

Wow, what a cool product! I love how you painted them. It's only 65 degrees here, I sure hope you have air conditioning. Hugs to you!
These are great, I have never seen them before, and they are a great idea. Hugs, Valerie
Celeste, these are fabulous! You turned these into a treasure with your gorgeous painting! What a great idea! Have a fabulous week!

Great buy, Celeste, and I love how you decorated them! Perfect for your creative space, too. I'm sorry you didn't join in the party this year because you have such a great space.
Oh, your roses are simply beautiful! Love the shading; perfect. What a great idea. Hope to see your cabinets, too. Drink lots of ice water or sweet tea! Blessings, Deborah

Hi Celestina Marie,
How fabulous - love your Create banner in your workroom. Such a lovely idea and will have to look out for them. Thanks for the inspiration. Best of luck with the kitchen cabinets and look forward to seeing them finished. You would need to have a quick swim in the pool in that heat., 102 degrees - wow!
Happy week dear friend
hugs

oh, my, celeste, this is so adorable! your pink roses look so sweet on the chalkboard bkgd! 102-yikes! turn the air down, way down!
Only you could take a simple plain piece of chalkboard pennant and make it beautiful and graceful. I love your CREATE banner. Looking forward to seeing your kitchen cupboard project. Stay well hydrated in this scorching heat dear...
Oh Celestina,
The chalkboard banner is a super cute idea, and with your beautiful rose touches it is even more cute. I love it.
I'm so excited because we finally have a Hobby Lobby close by. Well it's about an hour away but it is definitely worth the drive :-) Hopefully this means it is getting closer to where I live. Gotta love the Hobby Lobby :-) Wishing you a lovely evening.
Hugs and Kisses,
❤️Ana
Those are so beautiful! The roses are so pretty.
Anyway, did you say that the temperature is 102 degrees there? OH Dang! Its pretty hot! Never been in such 'extreme' temperature before. Hope you doing fine!
Have a nice day!

Your banner is so sweet. Can't wait to see your kitchen cabinets. I want to paint mine, but have been putting it off. I'm just a little nervous about taking on such a big job.
Oh, this is so pretty, Celestina. It must look nice in your creative space. I love Hobby Lobby, and go there often. You know, Jess and Nel love this chalkboard stuff, and Nel just found canisters with chalkboard. You did a great job painting the sweet pink roses on them.
love,

First of all the banners are so pretty. And girl, YOU can swing a paintbrush for sure with those beautiful roses. LOVE! And I cannot wait to see your kitchen cabinets. Let me just say... IF... I ever get brave enough to paint my kitchen cabinets... I would not be able to contain myself through an entire blog post and casually mention it at the end... You WERE struggling weren't you?? Haha... that sounds so exciting. I sit here patiently waiting for details and updates... Seriously, I hope it all goes well, I know it will be beautiful. :)
Gorgeous banner Celeste! The roses make it look so lovely.
I know your cabinet makeover will be amazing!!
Love & blessings, Edie
Love the banner! It looks great!
Your banner is just beautiful, Celestina! Of course you know how much I love your painted roses, what a great idea to add them to your "create"!!! The banners would be so fun at parties, so many uses. It is perfect in your studio. Can't wait to see your painted cabinets!
Hi Celeste! and I've missed you so much and all of your creativity! Oh, these flags are darling and of course you and your painting talents went far beyond and made them beautiful! :) How cute they are!
I do wish you luck in painting your kitchen cabinets! I know it's hard work but so rewarding!
Be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)
Lovely Celestina, oh, how I love your name. You are so talented. It's great fun to see what you are up to. Good luck in painting your kitchen cabinets. I know they will be fabulous. xo
Hi Celestina, Love the banner and your roses are beautiful!
xx,
Sherry
I never get tired of banners, Celeste. I think they are so cheerful and pretty. Did you notice the mini one I have behind my art chair? :) My daughter introduced me to chalkboard pens and markers a few weeks ago, and I am hooked. I know you'd love them. So much easier to use than chalk and they come in various colors.
Now, I am hoping you'll share those cabinets with us, won't you? I'm sure they'll turn out gorgeous.
Have a lovely weekend, friend.
xoxo's

Enjoy your summer weather.
