J is for JACK!

As Stephanie and Kevin Dale of Georgia talked over ideas for decorating their soon-to-be son's room, Stephanie decided she wanted letters to spell out his name. She looked and looked, but only came across newly made letters, mostly in flowery fabrics.
"No, no, no!" she remembers thinking. "I want something in colors that will work in his room." And then she stumbled on Timeless Treasures online and read about the vintage letters used by another mom to spell HOLDEN.
"Our baby's room is painted light blue, with one navy blue wall where we want to spell his name, " Stephanie explained when she called us in San Francisco a few weeks ago. "We're also using green and orange. Can you come up with letters to spell JACK?"
Here you can see the ones she chose, with help long distance from Erin Richardson, who assembled a couple of options for her from the current stock at Timeless Treasures. A vintage highway letter and 3 old enamel and metal sign letters came together to spell out J-A-C-K.
Three-year-old Sam, who's about to become big brother to Jack, pitched in to help Stephanie unpack the letters the other day when they arrived in Georgia. "They work perfectly!" she says.
