Good measures – you rule!
My little collection of expandable rulers and 6-inch advertising rulers are propped up in antique trophy cups on top of a little white hutch. The old patinas mix well together for a serene look.
Fun, quirky and all in good measure!

What a neat collection. The folding wood measuring sticks always remind me of my grandfather's workshop. I remember him having those.
Hi~
Love you collection of rulers. I have to fight myself not to buy them when I see them. The patinas are so beautiful as you said. But, oh how I don't "need" one more thing to collect!
So it was a treat to see yours!

Oh My! Every time I see one of those I think of my Dad! He was quite the creative genius and ALWAYS had one of those folding rulers handy, along with a metal "pull out" tape measure on his belt! I remember trying like H*LL to "refold" those tape measures for him when I was a wee one. . . . good memories for sure, thanks for the stroll, my bud! xoxo P
PS Spoke to "The Other Becky" yesterday (well, not spoke, but emailed) and she said you guys met "IN THE FLESH" oh how I would have loved to be there with two of my favorite Beckys in the whole wide world :)
I love those expandable rulers. I remember my Grandpa and my Dad using them until the numbers were worn off. What great memories.
Cute! I would have never thought to collect these little treasures!
Oh my hubby would just love this. He already enjoys my one little nod. Of course, if he'd give up his collection, I could have one of my own. Love the photography and your particular brand of quirky!
I love these, for some reason the expandable ones fascincate.....hugs, Linda
That's such a cute idea! I've found several of those rummaging around my Mother's house lately. You've given me a great idea. Thank you for sharing!
You have the best collections and this one is great. I remember the folding measuring sticks that were around when I was a little girl. I loved playing with them and always pinched my fingers!

Love the display of your ruler collection! I would never have thought to display them like that and I love it! I'm gathering all of mine together and when I have enough I'll know what to do with them! Do you like yard sticks too? I have bought a few recently and need an idea for displaying them too!
How neat! I've never seen these as a collection! I think my hubby has gotten rid of all of his old tape measures!
I love the look Becky! What a great idea. Now I want to find small rulers. So many fun things to collect!
I love wooden rulers and measuring sticks! You have a great collection.

I love this display ~ the contrast of the wood and metal is really nice and I love all the oclors of the wood. My Dad had expandable rulers ~ we played with them all the time. Thanks for a sweet memory!

My Dad was a carpenter and he always had a wooden tape measure in his overall. Your display brought back so many memories. Thanks for sharing.
I have a folding ruler just like those that was my father's.
I love how you have displayed yours ,I think I need to find a way to display his.

I never would of thought to display those but I have to say they look lovely. They remind me of my dad. He was a tool designer and he had all kinds of measuring devices. Thanks Becky.
Love this...what a great mix of color and texture, its fab! I love old rulers, I think they are the coolest!
