Garden flags, doormats and porch signs · a swap calendar for the front step
What goes up after harvest?
The ring is the year on your front step. The hand points at today; the card below it says what is up now and what goes up next, with the flag, the mat and the sign for each. Every flag is sold as the flag only.
North: winter after New Year, harvest to Thanksgiving. Your choice stays in this browser only.

The season set
The whole front step, dressed for one season
Flag in the bed, mat at the door, sign beside it. Most shops sell them in three separate departments; here they come as one set for each swap, so the step changes together. This is harvest.

From the street
Three things the street sees that a product photo hides
Tap or hover each card to turn it over. These three answers are on every flag page too, before the price.
The back
Printed on one side
From the walk it reads right. From the far side the design shows through in reverse, slightly paler. Face the print toward the street.
Turn it overBack, as the neighbour sees it
The box
Flag only
No stand, pole, bracket or clip is in the box, and we do not sell them. The dashed stand is yours already.
Turn it overJust the flag.
Garden size slides onto a garden stand; house size hangs from a porch bracket pole.
The name
The Miller’s
Plural, no apostrophe
Add -s or -es for a plural. An apostrophe means something belongs to the Millers.

Swap day, in four steps
Swap day
The Saturday the old flag comes down
- 1
Take the old one down
Saturday morning, after the date has passed: slide the flag off the stand. Two weeks after the holiday is a common rule of thumb; your community may have its own.
- 2
Let it dry flat
Never fold a damp flag. Lay it flat out of direct sun until it is dry right through, so the bin does not smell of the garden in March.
- 3
Fold it into the bin
Fold it in thirds, print inward, and lay it in the bin by the door with the rest of the rotation. The next one should be sitting on top.
- 4
Slide the next one on
Print toward the street, sleeve over the arm. If yours wraps round the pole in wind, a stopper or clip helps; we do not sell them.
Order the next one before swap day: 1–3 business days to make and 7–14 business days in transit, so allow up to 17 business days. That is an estimate from our stated times, not a guarantee.
Up now in the north
On the step until Thanksgiving
The in-between weeks
Two weeks after the Fourth, an empty stand looks like nobody is home
Every rotation has gaps: after the bunting, after New Year, the week the next flag is still in the post. A plain welcome flag or the family name flag fills them. Keep one folded in the bin and the stand is never bare.
- Plain Welcome Stripe in Porch Blue, Door Red or Sage
- Family name flag, mat, leaner and mailbox cover in one serif
- Name printed exactly as typed, up to 18 characters
True size
Garden flag or house flag? Hold it up to the door
A garden flag is about 12 x 18 in and slides onto a garden stand in the bed by the walk. A house flag is about 28 x 40 in and hangs from a pole in a porch bracket. Next to an 80 in front door, the difference is the height of a child.
Exact inches for each blank are being confirmed. Every flag is the flag only.
