If you happen to get hungry while shopping for the copper pots that that this town specializes in, perhaps a crepe or two will do nicely. This funny little sidewalk-sized advertising board was seen in Villedieu-les-Poeles in the Normandy region of France.

Anyone who is a frequent visitor to my site will have noticed that I am fascinated by poster art. This eye-catching poster for the pop group Brigitte (or the Brigitte Sisters) was on a glass cubicle in the marketplace at St. Lo in the Normandy region of France.

In the midst of our travels, I always try to keep an eye open for interesting signs or clever advertising. This unique sign contains a man working with a wood plane and advertises a furniture maker in the old quarter of Bayeux in Normandy, France. I love the simplicity and almost cartoon-like quality of it. But it instantly tells any observer what goes on in that building. Brilliant!

Beer will change the world? Well — someone certainly thinks so! The manufacturers of this kitchen dish towel used bright colours, a catchy slogan, and a 60s-style male image to make it appealing. I saw this in an antique mall in Australia.

“Goodness! That’s a bit of old fashioned cheesecake style advertising, isn’t it?” Mark looked over at what I was pointing to and smiled as he nodded yes and added, “It certainly is!”
This sign is mounted on the side of the bike shop in the village of Kroppen in Eastern Germany. We were eating lunch in the beer garden of the tavern across the street when I spotted it.
Hope it makes you smile, too!
