Signs of the Thymes
Funny Garden Sign Sayings all about Thyme
I love to paint funny thyme sayings on rustic weathered barn boards or driftwood signs to accent my xeric garden.
I have enjoyed this a lot, and I seem to have collected a lot of 'thymely' sayings along the way that fit so well with my choices in plants.
I've improved my painting techniques too, over time. No pun intended!
Learning how to make the lettering all fit on the piece of lumber is difficult, but it's starting to get easier. The more you do, the less challenging it gets.
This extensive list was compiled by Jacki Cammidge, Rick and Tammie Cammidge and Joyce Cammidge who have had fun with it too; the list keeps growing...

You and Joyce and your thyme puns are adorable.
Each year, I pull up my volunteer thyme, and either leave pots by the mail box with a punning sign, or put the puns on popsicle stick markers in little pots for my village library's plant and book sale.
Oh...it's going to be hard to choose my puns this year!
Here are a few I've used for my little posters and markers:
|
Take your time Make some thyme for yourself. Could you use a little thyme here? Thyme to go! Lots of thyme. |
Pause for a thyme. Save some thyme. Thyme steps (I used this when I place the pots on a small step stool) |
