New Year greetings fellow bloggers, wherever you may be. As I get so many lovely people around the world visiting my Flutterby Patch I wanted to post a picture representing different nations. I'm afraid this illustration from an old children's encyclopedia isn't at all appropriate as so many flags have changed in the last few decades.
My daughter remembered that we have a vintage card game that depicts national costumes of the world. Perhaps that would be more suitable. A trip into the attic unearthed a couple of boxes of children's games that hadn't seen the light of day for quite a while.
Husband and son made a beeline for one of their favourite jigsaw puzzles ...a map of mountain terrain.
Not my idea of fun but it kept them busy for hours.
Meanwhile my daughter and I had a great time reminiscing about the familiar vintage games we had found.
You might recognise some of these cards. They date from the 1950s, 60s and 70s .
Ah...success at last. 'Tops and Tails' the game depicting national costumes that we were looking for. An elderly lady gave it to us many years ago. It dates from the 1930s and I think its quite charming.
What can I wish you this New Year's Day?
Virtue to guide you on your way.
Happiness, comfort, sufficient wealth;
Constant affection and rosy health.
Happy New Year to you all
