2020 is almost done ladies and gentlemen! Yay! While things are not going to change in the first part of 2021, I am looking forward to what may come near the end of the year. Maybe I can do some small trips? Maybe I can hug my mom and dad again or maybe I can have a lindy hop dance with a stranger! Who knows! Whatever it is, it’s pretty darn exciting and I can’t wait.

Now for today’s post….I have done multiple posts on New Years in the past (hence the part 3) so I’m just going to build on what I have done and ask that you check out the fun in my other NYE posts, at the end of this post.

It’s always important that the drinks keep coming on NYE (boozy or the virgin kind), even if you have to look at a book on how to make them. This is a funny 1960s photo of a group of party goers trying to figure out how to make their next drinks. Question: What is the man on the right holding?

1953 New Year’s Eve Black Tie “mostly” mandatory party (Gosh those 1950s dresses are divine!). I’m trying to figure out if they are in the back room of a restaurant because it feels very industrial (beside the curtains).

I will end this last blog post of 2020 with a photo that pretty much sums up what I had HOPED my New Years Eve would of been like (plus I feel like this lady is my spirit animal). Me in a pretty 1960s dress, with a party hat, drink in my hand celebrating with friends in their home bar (I do love a vintage home bar). Sigh…Oh well next year friends!

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!
