Where can you find vintage board games?

Hi There.....Are you creative?

 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 😄

I used to play a lot of these games and they were a lot of fun.....we sometimes played for hours especially our monopoly games could take a long time before there would be a winner. How about you? Did you or do you play board games?

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

    Leuk! 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.

    Die ouderwetse spelletjes zijn nog steeds heel leuk om te doen. Wij doen graag met vrienden Kolonisten van Catan. Ook zo's strategisch spel. Heerlijk.

    There 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.

    Etsy 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.

    Ik 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.
