      I appreciate that, Beth! Thanks for inviting me to the party; will try to remember to pop over!

  1. I’m still waiting to find a BARGAIN! In Maine, most of the ones I’ve seen in antique places are $12. Maybe a yard sale this summer! My retractable measure is neon green–and sometimes I set it down and still can’t find it! And you can NEVER go wrong with Scrabble letters!

  2. Oh these are so cute and have me asking “:Why didn’t I think of that???” I have often seen these cool rulers at estate sales and flea markts, so I will be keeping my eye out for some on my future junkin adventures.
    Love how you styled yours with your other amazing vintage finds. So cute!

    Thanks so much for joining the hop. Happy Fourth of July!

      It was fun to be creative, Kim! Been outside working in the dirt so much, it was fun to actually make something again:)

  3. Oh my word these are the cutest little stars ever. So clever and so well styled by you!!! Happy summer, pinning!

      Thanks, Kelly! They’re perfectly junky and fun to add anywhere.

  4. Aww, my dad was in construction and I remember one of these rulers being on his dashboard for years. Wish I had it now. Love the star and the adorable label! Super duper cute. pinned

  10. These are amazing, Lora! I’ve always seen them displayed in antique shops and have wondered how they made the star so I’m all kinds of excited for your helpful tips and tricks. I’m officially on the hunt for my own now. Big hugs and happy summer, CoCo
