People are always thrilled to find my hand painted Please Remove Shoes signs online. I am often asked what made me think to create them, and the answer is simple. My customers asked for them! Not wearing shoes inside a home is becoming a very popular trend. This choice also sparks a lot of debate. Some people have no problem taking their shoes off when asked; others are offended by the request. My signs help my customers gently coax their guests to take off their shoes when entering their home. I have many different styles, so hopefully everyone can find a design that suits their decor. I am also available for custom orders.

The products at Wendy’s Whimsies Hand Painted Gifts are not mass produced. I paint each item, one at a time, so every piece is slightly unique. My tile signs are very popular because they are painted with an enamel paint that holds up to any type of weather. This allows the owner to display the sign out side their home to catch their guests before they enter. In fact, the paint is so durable, the sign is oven, microwave and dish-washer safe too. I would suggest taking off the leather cord first, though.

The reason’s for not wearing shoes inside a home are endless. For some people, it is a matter of cleanliness. For others, it is done to protect their flooring investment. In some cases, it is a cultural preference to remove shoes when indoors. No matter what your reason, I hope you will visit Wendy's Whimsies Hand Painted Gifts to find a Please Remove Shoes sign to help you express your wishes to your guests. Heck, Martha Stewart asks her guests to remove their shoes so it must be “A Good Thing,” right?
