UPDATE – FDOT hates our table and we have to move it. Stay tuned! We are pilot testing some pop-up #streetfurniture in #ivanhoevillage this month and the first piece is out at @thehammeredlamb ! These were sponsored by our amazing friends at @interstruct.design.build who love all things hyper-local even more than we do. They were hand-built by the wizards at @vudoowood at @factur and the signs were donated by the amazing team at @whitesigncompany_llc – if you need any type of sign, give them a call! If you're feeling up to supporting a local bar/restaurant but are too nervous to go inside, consider saddling up at one of these over the coming weeks.
