Oh My . . . What a Find!

I am sooo excited! I have just had a visit to our local little thrift (op) shop! I was in there scouting for materials for my friend Jodie's very gorgeous Etsy shop (you should see what this girl can do with an old lace table cloth!) I digress, while I was fossicking around I stumbled across this board game:

From Life

Not sure if anyone is familiar with this game, but my family were SORRY! mad back in the day. My late grandmother in particular was a board game nut! I can remember spending hours at her breakfast bar or dining table with one game or another (Game of Life, Careers, Ginger Megs to name a few). But this one was the old trusty. In fact I remember Grandma contacting the makers of the game to order new cards and pieces (often!). We just kept wearing them out LOL.

And so here am I introducing yet another generation of the family to this fun and - might I add educational game. Just seems so fitting though as this Tuesday just gone would have been Grandma's 87th birthday. Happy Birthday Grandma!
