Well friends we have come to the last day of the decade and what a 10 years it has been. I started my blog, got married, began to travel the world, opened my own Pinterest Business, made new friends, lost family members, gained family members and grew into a woman that I’m proud of. It has been an adventure (good & bad) and I look forward to what the next decade brings!

Now, In true Liz form I am going to leave 2019 with a collection of vintage photos of New Years Eve parties, because you know I love my photos (P.S. at the end of this post, I share the other “Part 1-4” posts I have done on this topic).

Let the party begin!

2019 is almost upon us and it has been quite a year for myself over here at the Vintage Inn Blog. I had my first Podcast Interview from “This Retro Life“, that was so much fun. I did a bunch of travelling, vintage and non vintage (Amsterdam, Malaysia X 2). I launched my Pinterest Marketing Business to help small businesses dominate the platform and I got to hang out with all of you on a weekly basis. I honestly can’t wait to see what 2019 has in store!

Now for my last post of the year, I want to kick off the party by showcasing fun Vintage New Years Eve Photos Part 1 (Scroll to the end to see my Part 2-4 posts).

Let the end of 2018 party begin!
