Thank you for sharing. I love everything about the "old days" as my now grown kids call them. Vintage game pieces are very special. And there is nothing better than finding handwriting.

I remember that we had a Flinch game when I was young. I'm sure I played it but can't remember anything about it. If someone would ask me if I ever played Flinch I would have said I never heard of it, but I recognized the box immediately. I love how you made a composition with what you found. <br /><br />I posted my first image to Photo Heart Connection today and connected to your post from there.CJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11105598015852813723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346935990049787898.post-16797909449749270242014-06-03T18:24:00.588-04:002014-06-03T18:24:00.588-04:00I feel as though I have been treated to a grown-up...I feel as though I have been treated to a grown-up version of story time! Your pictures and words belong in a magazine. This is a story we all can relate to - the longing for treasures that represent home and our sense of belonging. I don't recall the game of Flinch, but I do remember sitting around Grandma's old oak table and playing Rook - a great card game that I seldom hear mentioned today. And attics are one of my favorite places, too. Reading of your daughter's collection of dolls brought a smile to my face - we still have the Hess trucks my older son collected and is saving for his future kids. So much for storage rooms!Donna Hopkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03102284065955298362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6346935990049787898.post-10846964232148528372014-06-03T16:04:41.967-04:002014-06-03T16:04:41.967-04:00Oh my goodness, my grandmother used to play Flinch...Oh my goodness, my grandmother used to play Flinch with us.

I keep telling myself I will create an art journal with them but never seem to get around to it. I tried to find a way to email you without success. The 2014 Summer photography scavenger hunt opened today and I thought of you.
