B-I-N-G-O!

I don't know if this is true where you live, but the thrifting has been a bit thin around here lately. Maybe it's just an after-holiday slump, but I've had trouble finding just the right pieces at our local shops. (Plus, as the days get colder, I'm growing more excited and antsy for the start of yard sale/flea market season. Aren't you?) Anyway, I was just about to give up when I found this sweet vintage picture bingo game. I love the little graphics. (Wouldn't a bed just like the one in the picture be delightful?) And the bright springtime colors sure do warm up these blustery winter days. It's by far my favorite vintage find of 2008...so far. What's yours?

Stay well and stay warm!

XOXO,

A Bright, Shiny New Year

Okay, so technically this Happy New Year greeting is a little late, but I wanted to send along my sincerest wishes for a wonderful 2008, full of new beginnings, creative endeavors, and more love than you know what to do with! We rang in our new year with a furnace on the fritz, so it was a chilly greeting to 2008. But we are warm and toasty now and grateful for the many blessings we have been given over the past year. Here's looking forward to another year of getting to know all of you and being part of this fantastic blogging community. You guys are the best!
