There have been a couple of occasions when a very thoughtful reader has sent to me a care package. Most recently my blog friend, Skitzo Leezra, shipped a treasure chest in the form of a parcel of little vintage goodies that she knew I would love. She was absolutely right!
My favorite find in the box was a vintage advertising promotion for a bank. A folded growth chart. Possibly they gave these away to new customers or children who opened accounts. Oh, how I wish I could find the one for boys, I’ll be keeping an eye out for sure.
I scanned the old “Youngster Yardstick”, cleaned up the artwork and lettering and created free files for you to download, print and put together to create your own darling growth chart for girls. How cute would one of these be folded and attached to a baby shower or little girl’s birthday gift? Click on the long image a couple of times to see just how darn cute this thing is.
Click on the images below to access the FREE PDF files in the original blue color and the instructions for putting it together, similar to my other growth chart HERE. And, I also made one in PINK for you as well! Be certain to double check your printed pieces to confirm their correct measurements, just in case.
Thank you again, Skitzo Leezra!

Cathe, thank you for giving this to us. The PDF image is flawless. My good friend has a toddler and she will really like receiving this from me. THANK YOU.
You come up the neatest stuff! I just love your blog ;o)
Thank you so much, my three year old will love this! xx
I LOVE it!! How cute! My girls are gonna love it too.
I knew you would do something great with the bank "gimmee"!
Glad you enjoyed the graphics.
That is adorable! I'm seriously considering hanging it in my studio by the sewing machine.
Thankyou so much – I love your blog – going to print this out now…
OMG Cathe this is just WAY too cute!!
Heather has a friend who is having her first baby in Feb….if she finds out it's a girl, I am going to print this up for her!!

Hi,,, your Vintage sugestions are just wonderful, I appreciate your tips and blog a lot and visit here as often as I can, so does my wife, to whom I've showed your link!! Hugs from Brazil, José
Very nice, as always.
Lovely idea. i just went to a baby shower on the weekend …. this would have been perfect. I'll wait for the baby to be born and pop this in as part of the gift.
These are so adorable! Thank you very very much!!
Love the pink one! I'll be making one for my daughter. I was just thinking of painting her one like I did my son, but no time… so this is perfect!! Great timing and I featured you today:-)
Love them…thanks a ton.
Ps. Amy sent me over. =)
Soo Cute! Do you have any for boys?
I love retro stuff! Wish you had one for boys too!
Hi Cathy,
A few months ago, I used your “silhouette girls” in a project that I did for a journaling group I belong to. A few weeks ago, along with other examples of my artistic pursuits, one of your (silhouette girls) was featured in http://www.artella-land.com/LuxuryFiles/PicturePromptsNov2010.pdf. If you go t this site, it will link you back to the project I did, using your silhouette girls (in that project, I gave credit to you for the “girls”. Just thought you might like to see how the girls were used. Thanks for allowing us to use your work.
