Growth Chart


http://mirror3.etsy.com/il_fullxfull.20959523.jpg

How cute is this growth chart kit? It's a 4 foot long jute piece, mounted on wooden dowels and hung with a red ribbon. Twenty tags are included (ten in red, ten in manila) with space to mark your child's name, age, and date of measurement. The little muslin bag is full of large safety pins to attach the tags.

My favorite part:
it comes in an heirloom wooden box. I love the textures in the kit — the jute, the ribbon, the pins, the muslin, the paper — I just want to touch every little bit. And I love that someone thought to create it! Genius.

a fabulous idea! this would be much easier to take in a move, or to hand down the generations than a hunk of drywall:)

Love this idea. I had to copy everything off my childhood wall onto a ticker tape of paper but this I could have just moved with me.

I saw this last fall and fell in love with it. What a clever and darling idea to get past the pencil marks on the end of a door.
