Thrift Thursday

Joshua and I love playing board games together and owning an iPad has totally revolutionized our game time together. We LOVE playing Life on the iPad, but the game is really lacking in some aspects. We've been tossing around the idea of purchasing the physical board game, but it's pretty pricey for a board game and I'm not a fan of the whole credit card system they have in the game now.

This week I was on a hunt for vintage sheets when I came across this beauty...

An original 1960 Game of Life. I figured it was a long shot, but I went ahead and opened the box to check out the board. I assumed there would be missing pieces, but amazingly the game was completely intact! The cars, the little peg people and the dollar bills are all there and in excellent shape!

Josh doesn't love vintage stuff as much as I do so he wasn't as thrilled as I was with the find, but I think he's secretly excited to play the "real" Game of Life with me this weekend! I know I'm excited! The weather has been amazing the past few days, but Saturday is supposed to be rainy and perfect for playing board games!

Thrift Thursday #1

My favorite local thrift store (Unique Thrift Store) had an awesome 50% off sale on Veteran's Day and I went to town. Literally and figuratively! Unique is located an hour away in Louisville, KY, which I consider going to town, ha! I bought some great dresses, a couple belts, some earrings, a new bag and a couple pairs of shoes -- all for half off!

This entire outfit - belt, dress, earrings and boots - cost me under $8! The boots are suede dead stock. Brand new, never worn vintage boots for $3! I just can't get over it. And ignore the less than attractive look on my face. It was a Monday and I was having one of those "If it can go wrong, it will" types of days including a car accident, a family member in the hospital, locking myself out of the house and more! Maybe next time I post about my thrifty finds I can get a photographer (ahem, Josh) instead of trying to capture a whole outfit using Incredibooth.
