Growth charts are growing cooler by the minute

Growth charts are growing cooler by the minute

Growth charts aren't exactly one of those items that has overtaken the design world just yet. Mostly your options are semi-cheesy printed paper wallhangings, or what we use at my house -- a pencil mark on a door frame. Klassy, I know!

So I was blown away by the fabric growth charts from A E Wilder's Etsy shop. As much art as milestone marker, these hand embroidered linen charts are simply and lovely with found vintage button embellishments and pretty ribbon for hanging. They can be made all the more special if you have it personalized with your kiddo's name.

It even comes with a fabric marking pen to help tick off the days until little Caleb is old enough to take on those amusement park coasters by himself. Hopefully in about 47 years. -Liz
