. . . for the second season in a row, Do It Yourself Lettering.
After Sloane could no longer hand letter the stern (hip replacement--ouch!), I had
to find some appropriate, stately, old-fashioned-looking, and really cheap
letters that would do the job.
All the other companies had stupid-looking fonts, or were
wildly expensive. (Wildly for me, anyway.)
The nice people at Do It Yourself have a great selection,
really reasonable prices, and very patient customer service reps (I believe I made
them cry last year). The one thing I do
not like is their absolutely asinine application instructions. The way they say to peel the backing off and
slide it below the letters . . . well, its physically impossible. I just ended up (both times, even after 30
minutes of phone assistance the first time) just peeling the thing off like a
bumper sticker and placing it (hopefully) carefully in my pre-marked spot.
Before . . .
And After . . .
Not bad, right? This
cost $30, including shipping. And a
dignified old font.
Not something like
We are more genteel than that . . .
Paul still hates the serif font but I think it'd be too dull without it.
