Goal # 7 | Be thrifty, re-use, re-purpose

Hi, friends!  Did you think I'd forgotten you?  Well, I did not. 
I am back with another titillating tale, full of adventure...
a real page turner, this one...   ;)

BSG & I have been out antiquing and I have come up with a few thrifty treasures.

First up - the board game, Aggravation, in fantastic condition.

The copyright date on the board is 1970...now that is vintage, people!

*wink-wink*

Re-use...Deluxe Party Edition.

I was excited to find this because -

you can't buy this version any more +

I have wonderful memories of this game.

Dad always plays the white marbles.

Grandma G. took great pleasure in knocking your marbles off...causing aggravation!  

If I were to assign a family game, this would be it.

You know, like the state bird or flower...the family game.

There is however, a man down, a soldier left behind.

Never, NEVER leave your wing man!

Any one out there have a spare red marble you'd like to share?

Next up - a floral frog.  I have been searching for the 'perfect' frog for some time now.  {available in antique stores everywhere}  Floral frogs were used to make flower arrangements before they invented that weird green foam. 

Re-purposed...

into a nifty paper holder.

Perfect to display postcards, notes, homemade cards, letters

or any other paper ephemera!
