How stinkin' CUTE is this Kentucky Sign by Kayla? I love the little metal cut-out of Kentucky, and the small wooden heart placed on it. Home is truly where the “heart is."

I also love the big blue and white checkered bow; it just gives it a cute finishing touch.

This sign would look perfect on my bookshelf in my living room.

If you're not a Kentucky fan, you can modify the sign to represent your home state. You too can create a state sign.
