Before billboards...

 ...there were advertising murals on the sides of buildings. Hubby thought the antique shop should have one.  My grandpa chewed Red Man tobacco so I decided to make that the subject of my mural. Mine is not an exact copy but it is similar enough to get the point across.

 After carefully painting all the details, I went over the whole thing with diluted brown paint to age it. Next I sanded over the whole things so that some of the "rock" shows through the paint. Lastly, I sealed it.

I have two walls completely covered with stonework now. I love how this looks but it isn't much fun to do. One more wall...

I keep adding little items to the stock. It seems like every time I dig into a drawer, I find something else to add. Today I found a washboard and a cow bell. I can hardly wait to see what turns up next, lol.

Oh, and don't forget to pick a name for the shop's dog. He is anxiously waiting to see what ideas you all come up with. Comment on the post below with your choice. If I choose your name you will win a prize.
