I was stumbling through The Brass Armadillo Antique Mall on Saturday afternoon...trying to restrain myself....and found a BIG stand full of old yardsticks. They were each like $4-5, too steep for me, but it got me thinking about projects and crafts to be made using rulers and yardsticks.
(I did find a wooden Coke crate for $9 and a vintage suitcase for $20-FUN!)
Then, I was shopping in the cutest garden center ever on Sunday afternoon and found a yardstick box. My friend, Amy, gasped and said, "THAT is SOOO fun!" I figured the universe was trying to tell me something, so here we go with Main Ingredient Monday!
