Happy 2013

Yesterday was the last day of

December,

but that's not all...

 

It was also my fellow Modern Old Soul and her hubby's

1st wedding anniversary!

 

What a good way to start out the new year!

 

 

My holiday season was filled with too much

 food,

 not enough

 family,

 and some fun

finds.

 

My grandparents let us dig through some stuff

from both of their families. 

 

The

checkerboard

is from my great grandpa's sister

Evelyn.
 

I think it's so awesome how things like this were kept in

our family for so long. 
 

Lovin' the detail on this board.

 

I also inherited the two jars. 

They were both used for creams but I can't get over how

beautiful

they are. 


Love the character on this jar..

And the color of this one.

You sure don't find anything like this today.


 

I couldn't resist the

 books,

either. 
 

They were my grandpa's sister's books from when she was little.  I love that they are a little beat up and SO

colorful. 


Finally, I had to take this scrabble board.  It was my grandma's when she was younger. 

 

I likely won't play scrabble, but those letters have endless possibilites.   

 

 

 

Some people I know complained about the year

 -2012-,

but I think everyone who has made it to

-2013-

 is blessed beyond words. 

 

Have a happy and blessed 2013.
