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!
