Vintage Thingies Thursday ~ Let's Play!

Let's have some !!!


I got this of fun at an estate sale recently.

I couldn't resist the colors


and graphics! Even the inside of the box lid is beautiful with its green and white checks!





I don't know what I'm going to do with it yet. Maybe use the elements in an altered art project?
Find more fun at Colorado Lady's blog every Thursday!

    I loved to play board games growing up. In the summer we would set it up and leave it going for days.
    Now I too love them for the great graphics.

    What a great set! I like the graphics on the older games and boards. The colors are nice too. I'd hang on to this set and maybe use them in a new way....nice post today.

    Aren't they wonderful! The colors and the pieces are great. The only idea I can think of is to hang the boards on a wall together. They're like artwork. But you would want to be able to take them down easily because when I come to visit, some day, I will BEAT YOU AT ALL OF THEM. Ha!

    The images are grerat! If everything is still in it, I'd put it on display in my living room and play the games with guests!

    We played lots of board games with our boys, so this is good memories-preserving it in an art project might be fun.

    These games are wonderful! How about framing them in shadow boxes with all their pieces included? ~Kelly

    This looks like oodles and oodles of fun. You should host a blog party "Playing Games" where we can create with this kind of stuff! Then we can have a good excuse to dig into those game boxes in our own stashes.
