About this design

For everyone who still says back in my day, this freshie wears the meme proudly: Please Be Patient With Me, Im From the 1900s. It is the gift for the Gen X-er, the elder millennial, or anyone who remembers a time before smartphones and is happy to remind you. Lettered in retro type, it gets a laugh hanging from the mirror. We hand pour each one to order in the scent you choose, so this charmingly old-school sign can carry a fresh modern fragrance or something warm and nostalgic, whichever feels right for a proud relic of the 1900s.
