I have a deep love for things that often go overlooked by some. A love I cannot explain. Take this yard stick for example...what may look like a ruler to some is just a piece of art awaiting it's birth.
Old and worn...all the better!
Now what does one do with yard sticks? I will share that later but first you must go and collect some of your own. The hunt is half the fun. You may try flea markets and yard sales for the good worn ones. If that's not possible,no worries! Try at your local paint store for some new ones.
You may also find them at furniture stores and your local bank ...FREE! Don't worry if they are all fresh and new, we can take care of that. Different colors and lengths would be fantastic! School rulers can play too...
Now don't go spending the bank looking for these lil darlings. Just take your time and enjoy the search. I just thought I would give you a head start to my next project. Have fun {picking up sticks}! ( needed for project around 6 but 8 if you can find em')
Walgreen had them on sale for .19 cents last week. I have not checked this week add, but I am sure there are some similar sales out there with back 2 school. I can't wait to gather some up and watch for your instructions!

I too have always felt the love & appreciation for vintage utilitarian objects I have a barrel full of old yard sticks that I have picked up during my treasure hunts. I also have a thing for "string" - I can relate, Lori @white flower farmhouse

ReplyDeleteHey... Tell Jesse I wanta see that new truck of his...Call me at work tomm.
ReplyDeleteWe just saw a big old crock chock full of yard sticks at an antique store over the weekend - but they were all kind of pricey - they were solid though - the really thick old advertisement type! My son wanted to buy them all for 'swords' but we reminded him that we had one at home! I'll just have to go back I guess! I'll dig through until I find some bargains!
ReplyDeletewhen do we need them by??
ReplyDeleteThought of you today when I was flipping through the latest Pottery Barn Kids catalog. It had a room make over pictured in it. On the wall was a HUGE 7 day calendar that had the days divided by yard sticks! Too funny! I haven't checked their site to see if the picture is there. Can't wait to see what you do!
ReplyDeleteA friend and I were JUST looking at some yesterday! But they were a little pricey. I'll see if I can find them cheap-o. Sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteEverything is beautiful Susie! Love the blue shutter and all the family photos. :)
ReplyDeleteLove your old yard sticks.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your day
Hugs

People also assume that it should fit really tight, but personally I wear it one size bigger because I like the comfort of it while still getting the silhouette.”Herve Leger Replica These are the dresses that are coming into our stores and online now, and these are the dresses that are going to show up come Saturday, because as we pointed out in our runway report last season, an Herve Leger show is full of Herve Leger dresses.
