🍒 WE’RE AT WARRENS CRANBERRY FEST! 🍒

We’re officially set up for the weekend at Warrens Cranberry Festival!

If you’ve never been here before… this place is HUGE — and apparently the shopping starts before the sun does. 😂 When they told us people come early, they meant EARLY.

We brought a whole lot of That Sign Place with us — reclaimed bourbon barrel signs, Corner Creepers, metal art, yard & garden pieces, Rusty Critters, Fall & Halloween favorites, and more!

📍 Booths 447 & 448
📮 Right by the Post Office
💙 Look for the BIG BLUE TENT!
📅 September 25–27

Come find us and say hi!

And if you’re one of the people shopping by flashlight at 6:30 AM… we’re impressed, slightly terrified, and there WILL be coffee in our hands. ☕😂

The booth is open, the signs are stocked, and we’re ready for another beautiful day in Frankfort!

If you haven’t made it out yet, today’s the day! We’ve got bourbon barrel stave signs, Fall & Halloween pieces, Corner Creepers, and plenty more to look through.

Come find us, say hello, and see what catches your eye!

Final days. Final prep. 🍂

The powder coat oven is working overtime and we’re officially in the home stretch for Frankfort Fall Festival!

So. Many. Signs. 😅
And somehow, still more to finish.

Can’t wait to finally get everything out of the shop and into the booth this weekend. Come see what we’ve been working on! 🖤

Truthfully, we didn’t give this sign expecting anything in return.

This morning, Tyler (our 14-year-old) and I stopped into Tower Cafe for breakfast and were welcomed with genuine kindness, great conversation, and the kind of small-town hospitality that seems harder and harder to find these days.

Before we left, Tyler looked at me and said, “We should give them one of our signs.” That was all the reason I needed.

We simply wanted to say thank you to some genuinely good people who made us feel at home.

Tower Cafe, thank you for the warm welcome, the wonderful breakfast, and the reminder that there is still so much good in this world. It’s people and places like yours that make traveling worthwhile.

We can’t wait to stop back the next time we’re in northern Minnesota. ❤️☕🌲

Today was one of those days that reminds us why we love what we do. ❤️

We had the chance to meet so many wonderful people at the Tower Cafe here in Tower Mn, and one visit was an unexpected surprise.

The incredibly talented folks from That Sign Place stopped in and gifted us this absolutely beautiful custom Minnesota sign, handcrafted from authentic Kentucky bourbon barrel wood and steel. They even shared that they travel to Kentucky several times a month to source the real bourbon barrel wood used in their creations. The craftsmanship is truly amazing, and the story behind it makes it even more special.

We are so grateful for this thoughtful gift. It will have a special place here at the cafe and will remind us every day of the kindness of others.

People often ask what it's like owning a small-town cafe. The truth is, we'll probably never become millionaires doing it—but we've become incredibly rich in something far more valuable. Every day we get to meet amazing people, hear their stories, build friendships, and be a small part of creating community and connection. That's a gift money simply can't buy.

And every once in a while, someone blesses us in return with an act of kindness like this. We are truly humbled.

Thank you so much, That Sign Place for your generosity and for sharing your incredible craftsmanship with us. If you're looking for a one-of-a-kind custom sign for your home, cabin, lake place, or business, be sure to check them out at the link in the comments. Their work is absolutely stunning.

Here's to good people, small towns, unexpected blessings, and all the connections made over a cup of coffee. ❤️☕
