Description
I spent a rainy week in Nantucket and have always loved all the quarterboard wooden house name signs. You can only eat so much on a rainy vacation. I spent the rest of the time admiring and collecting sign pics to create this wonderful collage that expresses a beautiful overview of the island and all her folk art whimsy! I hope the actual homeowner's enjoy and the wannabees can get there someday! They are all custom carved. It is the law that name boards or quarterboards be placed on the ships' bow. Nantucket is well known for it's history in the whaling industry as far back as 1690. Please view my second edition as well! The house names are different.
