Win a Danish house number!

It is cool when you are contacted by a business offering gifts for one of your readers. That it is actually relevant to the Fun & VJs ethos - free, house related and Danish - makes it a bonus!

Ramsign is a Danish firm which produces old fashioned, hand stencilled signs in thick glossy enamel.

Apparently this type of sign has a long tradition in Europe. Each sign is carefully stencilled and then burned to 800 degrees Celsius. The hardness of the enamel provides resistance to sun, water and dirt and is covered by a 30 year warranty.

I think they look pretty funky. Sadly, we can't enter the competition, but if we could this is what I would choose for the Sow's Ear. There are a few different designs from which to choose.

It would look brilliant on a white picket fence (which we will have one day ...) or on the front of our house.

Jason and I will also magically transform into beautiful Scandinavians...like in the Ramsign website and wear beige sweaters while we snuggle together with a cuppa. Look how satisfied we are with our new Danish sign!

How hirsute Jason is! How blonde I am! We'd be living the dream. You too could have this dream. I can make it happen for you.

Win a Ramsign house number sign (up to five digits) in one of the five styles available on their website.

All you have to do is leave a comment on this blog post. If you put a link on your blog, facebook page or retweet about this offer then you get another entry. Just let me know in the comments if you do so.

This competition is open worldwide to all!! (You don't even have to follow this blog and be subjected to our house renovation travails)

Entries close on Friday 13 May at midnight (AEST) and I will select a winner randomly.

So, get to it. And good luck!

    Well drat and double drat. Such a lovely house number but my house doesn't have a number. Hmmm (thinks), what other uses are there for a gorgeous round number?

    Since I have crappy brass numbers from the 1970's on my house, I would love to win some really good ones.....the pizza delivery fella would thank Ramsign.

    The Chaos casa could definitely do with a classy house number. A relaxing cuppa would be nice too.

    Yes, I'd like 117 please! And that man looks a little bland but quite lovely.

    So yes, please count me in.

    Count me in too please Anita, 'The project' could definitely use a lovely Ramsign number plate. I am a bit of a fan of the Highlander style myself. Thanks again! ;-)

    I do admire those numbers and their Scandinavian craftsmanship, however I don't have the necessary Danish home to accompany such a number ... so count me out.

    We could do with a big 26- at the moment we're a little bit of a mystery house.

    I'll take a 1238 just to be greedy, thanks. That couple look like the real estate models we keep seeing on big signs all over Brisbane...living the same dream here I guess!

    I'd like to win her teeth...

    BTW - please don't enter me (thanks so very much though for the chance) Our house numbers change every two years (hence the serial mover tag) so I'd be a very poor choice...

    Definitely go with the matching sweaters and hot chocolate! My Queenslander-with-potential desperately needs a new number.. the current green and purple on terracotta is just not a good look!
