I am and have always been as long as I can remember. As a kid I used to love drawing, playing music on my block flute and melodica.....When I was a bit older I started to knit and sew all kinds of things for myself or for my dolls.....There were no computers or iPhones to keep us busy.....I was a teenager when we got our first pick-up (record player).....I know what you may be thinking.....Wow this woman is ancient 😁
But did you know that this month is also Hobby Month??
I suppose in even more ancient times people have always had hobbies.....They went swimming, hunting or drew on cave walls.
I am wondering.....No I don't suppose they had bathing suits haha 😂
I found on Wikipedia that the word hobby came from 'hobyn' and had the meaning of 'small horse and pony'.
Today there are hundreds of hobbies that can be put in 5 categories such as collecting, making and tinkering, activity participation, liberal arts pursuits, and sports and games.
I think I have done them all.....I used to collect keychains and frogs but don't anymore because after a while I had so many of them that I wanted to put on display, that it became far too much work dusting them off every time 😏
Making and tinkering is something I still do off course.....I make beadwork jewelry and knit.....I am working on a sweater at the moment and I will be sharing a picture of that on my Instagram profile as soon as it's finished (I guess I am gonna need about one more week).....so if you are curious just use this link to my Instagram profile.....I know I would be but I am a Little Miss Nosey I suppose 😉
Then there is the activity participation.....Things I have mostly done when being on a holiday like hiking or bike rides.
Like me, some of you might wonder what this liberal arts pursuit could be.....Those are things like singing, acting, juggling, dancing,.....So it seems like I am still doing that as well.....I am the female singer of the band as I told you in my last blog post.
And last but not least sports and games.....I am not a fan of sports anymore because as I said I am ancient but I love playing games on the computer as well as board games.
So I thought I would browse Etsy again to find some vintage board games this time 😄

Hope you like my blog post.....Until next time.....Have a great day

ReplyDeleteLeuk die Scrabble met de houten letterhouders in plaats van die groene plastic gevalletjes.
ReplyDeleteWe hadden vroeger een spelletjes doos met mikado, domino en schaken er in
ReplyDeleteZo leuk, he! Ik heb net een vintage versie van Mastermind gekregen, mega cool!
ReplyDeleteVooral zo'n Monopoly bord uit vroeger tijden vind ik erg leuk, omdat toen de prijzen nog zo laag waren : )
ReplyDeleteLeuk! De meeste spellen hebben we hier thuis ook, alleen Bingo zou ik wel willen hebben. Backgammon staat ergens, maar daar snap ik nog steeds niks van.
ReplyDeleteDie ouderwetse spelletjes zijn nog steeds heel leuk om te doen. Wij doen graag met vrienden Kolonisten van Catan. Ook zo's strategisch spel. Heerlijk.
ReplyDeleteMijn kinderen hebben het rummikub spel helemaal ontdekt. Heel leuk, want dat was vroeger ook mijn favoriete spel
ReplyDeleteThese are SO COOL! My husband and I love playing board games and these would be so great for our collection. Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us!
ReplyDeleteUs, cousins love to play board games and we are now tackling a lot of new ones.. We still play these classics but not that often..
ReplyDeleteMy kids would love to play with some of these. We already have a few different monopoly. They really enjoy all board games.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few hidden gems in there. Takes me back a little. Great idea though and board games are also good for a bit of family bonding. We had a game of RISK at the weekend, great fun.
ReplyDeleteEtsy is a great place to find vintage board games. I have also found old board game on Ebay as well as in some local thrift stores.
ReplyDeleteso cool, I love board games. these vintage ones are amazing I would love these in my house.
ReplyDeleteI feel so ancient now. I have 90% of those board games at home. Hahaha. You called it vintage and I was thinking, ooohh I wonder which ones then I saw the ones from my childhood. Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteI think it is still cool to play board games. It's a great way to pass away time with friends and relatives.
ReplyDeleteDe ouderwetse spelletjes blijven toch altijd het leukste he
ReplyDeleteI found an old Happy Days game on eBay. It wasn't as exciting as I remember, but I was still happy to have it. ;)
ReplyDeleteEtsy and Ebay are both great places to find vintage board games. But I can't help myself and stop at vintage shops when I'm traveling too. So many treasures you can find.
ReplyDeleteWij hebben hier ook een aantal bordspellen in de kast staan, blijft toch leuk!
ReplyDeleteI did not know that this month is "hobby month"...and I think I have half of those board games!
ReplyDeleteThose vintage board games look so much fun to play with friends. Gonna check that out before our get together.
ReplyDeleteI prefer vintage over new too, everything has so much more karakter!
ReplyDeleteDammen dat leer ik mijn dochter op t moment
ReplyDeleteIk ben dol op bordspellen! Monopoly, Scrabble vroeger heel vaak gespeeld en dammen. Schaken leek me altijd zo leuk, naar snap het nog steeds niet haha
ReplyDeleteBackgammon & Mikado bring back a lot of memories! Loved those games!
ReplyDeleteIk vind bordspelletjes heel leuk, alleen jammer dat bijna niemand ze meer speelt. Althans, geen mensen die ik ken. Al speel ik wel vaker Escape Room het bordspel met vriendinnen.
ReplyDeleteOh monopoly Kon ik vroeger als kind uren spelen. Bordspelletjes blijven leuk om te doen met vrienden.
