Bright {Neon} Lights.


I have a thing for neon signs and marquee lights. Especially older ones where the paint is fading and chipping away. I think they're so cool and beautiful, even if they're forgotten. I saw the peacock gifts sign in China Town when I was visiting my sister and I wished so badly I could take it home with me. Peacocks are my favorite and he has such a great vintage feel to him.



This sign just feel so 50s professional to me. I think it's the black and white.


I love how this sign has bulbs to make up the letters and then neon lights outlining them. 

I kind of want my own sign made of flashing lights but I have absolutely no use for one. I do have a large front window, maybe I should get a Chinese Proverb in lights and hang in in the window for all the neighborhood to see, a snarky saying directed toward my nosy neighbors could be fun too.
