Do You Know There's a Ruler in Your Wallet...

Here's a quick FYI...you have a ruler in your wallet or purse and you didn't even know it. A US paper bill is approximately 6 inches x 2 1/2 inches. (6 1/8th ", but give or take).

It's perfect while you are out shopping at a yard/tag sale, consignment shopping or thrifting. Keep a little list going of the items you are looking for, like furniture, side tables, baskets, frames etc. If you keep the size of the items you need on the list, all you need to do is take out a bill and measure it!!!

For other countries, just measure your paper bill and you'll have a handy ruler too!!

Have fun shopping and now you won't come home with the "perfect" basket for your closet that sticks out 5 inches too much!!
