Shabby Chic Signs

How do you make painted signs?

I want to make my own painted signs for baby nursery. I am confused on how to make such perfectly painted lettering that I see on signs sold in stores. The signs I like are usually pink, green, blue and have a saying on them like "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star Do You Know How Loved You Are?" They are sanded on edges to look sort of shabby chic. Any help/advice on stenciling or other methods is appreciated. I want to use paint for lettering like I see on the signs in store. Thanks.
I am going to try to change the genre.

Stenciling is the easiest method to achieve your goals. JoAnn, Michael's, and Hobby lobby have stencils for walls that have big beautiful letters.

Another method is to print you saying in the computer and then trace it into your wall or wood.

Use acrylic paints that dry quickly and are water based.

Good Luck!

Name of a shabby chic/home decor shop in Bruges, Belgium

I went on holiday 2 weeks ago to Bruges and found the cutest shop that specialised in shabby chic/country home decor items --- old advertising signs, handmade soaps, quilts, old style mohair stitched teddy bears, old fashioned style coffee pots and lots of nik naks that are in the vintage cream colour that is so popular & items in the style of what we see as being classic country French (Belgian) decor - some items such as hand lotion bottles with decorative French words. I had wanted to return to make purchases - but when I did, it was a national holiday on July 21st and it was closed. I seem to remember it was a short walk from St Salvator-Kathedraal. Any ideas what the name of it is and whether they have a website? Many thanks-
update: I don't think it is the Zilverpand as that doesn't sound familiar - but thanks for the reply. I think it is on St Salvatorskerkhof (if that is the actual street name that goes past the cathedral itself).

I know there's a few narrow streets behind the St.Salvatorskerk and there are some small shops there and even one or two that might fit the description of what you say they sell. I rarely go into Brugge though, should I and the question is still open I will edit.
