Croquet set-up
I can not wait to get together with my extended family and have a game of croquet before dinner. We do this every summer and it is such a b...
via My love for the game of croquet started as a very young child. My grandparents gifted my mother and I a set when I was about 3 and I distinctly remember being taught how to play immediately. I will find that photo of me in cute plaid pants and blue clogs with a mallet I am sure was as big as I was learning to play. My mother was wearing amazing flare pants in an incredible pattern with her beloved Dr. Scholl's sandals. Sweet memories. We currently own a vintage croquet set but I will confess I have never taught my kids to play. This will be rectified immediately. Along with cards, dominoes and scrabble this is a game that we will all love. Family time and some good ole fashioned competition is good for the soul. I am working on our first croquet time together for this coming weekend, stay tuned. I am sure it will be a classic post for Insta stories, these Minears are funny!!! Oh, and did I mention competitive? via Croquet is not a new game, it was first played around 1856 with the first all-comers game recorded in England in 1868. A game classified as one of "ground billiards" it is played with a mallet and a ball, the purpose being to hit the ball through wickets on a grass playing field. Easy to play and a perfect game for all ages, it has become an iconic preppy game over the years with a bevy of fabulous photos to be found. via via via via via via via Have I inspired you to invest in a set? I got my set from Etsy and I marked the search page for you in case you need a set too! I know I have sparked true excitement in me to teach my children and the Hubs a game I loved so much as a child. Also, I am thinking a date night with a few other couples wearing blue and white and the perfect late summer evening sounds amazing, don't you think? Hmm, just maybe ... Happy Monday to you all!!
