@Oostende  Aside from a couple I've seen in the homes of a friend I'm not a fan.  They started selling these at least fifteen years ago.  Kohl's, Marshall's, everyone carried them, not to mention in lots of catalogues.

 

Look too mass produced for me.  I do have a silver colored "believe" three d standing piece that I put out for Christmas.

So glad you brought this up.....

 

So so TIRED of this trend. They're sold everywhere and I'm frankly sick of the over saturated stock in all the stores. Enough.

@aroc3435 There's a lot of metal wall decor out there, too.  That doesn't appeal to me either.

@LoveMyBaby I think so, too.  Oversaturated is exactly right.

I wonder if this trend will be one people look back on and wonder what the heck we were thinking!  Woman Very Happy

I received one for Christmas.  I'm not sure what it says.  It's still in the gift bag.  I was going on vacation the day after I received it and put it in the closet.

@Oostende  I was shopping at my local Meijer's before Christmas and came across a hanging smallish wooden sign that spoke to me.  I know I'm going to butcher the heck out of the saying and I am kicking myself that I didn't buy the little sign.

 

It had something to do with it not looking like I had much but being grateful for what I had.

 

I really wish I would have bought that thing now.

 

There are times when you must speak, not because you are going to change the opposing side, but because if you do not speak, they have changed you.

Yes I have some plaques that have meaning to me — both on the shelves/end tables and wall.

I don't mean to judge, and think it was different, and kinda cute when it first came along, (however long ago that was) but like all trends, it gets overdone ad-nauseam, --now there's SO many, and from the looks of the shelves, it's time has passed. 

 

I remember the HGTV designer/decorators using them a lot too.

The stores lately have so many of these. Even Walmart. I dont have any or want any. But they are nice.

If we all had the same opinion or everyone was the same. the world would be a very boring place!
