Message Slates are unique, hand made message boards that attach to the outside of your house for visitors to sign. But these are not your ordinary message boards. Our Message Slates are designed by renown artist and inventor Cindy Badinger of Gallery Nine Forty and are made of high quality ceramic. Cindy's personal touch adds flare to everything she designs and her message slates are no exception! With catchy phrases and bright colored artwork, the plaque invites you to leave a message if no one is in. Place it near the entrance of your residence or business and you will look forward to reading upon your return.

There are dozens of designs to choose from. We have the humorous "go to hell" slates for all those unwanted visitors (tax collectors, exes, bill collectors). There are so many of them you can change them seasonally. New Orleanians love the "Happy Mardi Gras" Message Slate because they love their hometown, and visitors love it because it makes a great souvenir! Soon we will have many more cities nationwide!

Our message slates make great gifts for family and friends. Wonderful for weddings or birthdays! Fun for people of all ages! Optional personalized pieces are available.

Each slate comes complete with
hardware, eraser, extra chalk, and instructions
