Ich habe eine Idee aus dem Englischen in die deutsche Blogosphäre als #Blogparade geholt: "Was sind die ältesten Dinge, die Du besitzt?“
Falls Ihr auch liebgewordene alte Dinge habt, postet Sie mit #AlteDinge

Danke an @82mhz für de Inspiration und Deinen Text!

And „Thanks a lot!“ to Thomas Rigby @hryggrbyr, yours is the first post I found. Hope you like this #BloggingChallenge going multi-lingual.

Die ältesten Dinge

Was sind die ältesten Dinge, die Du besitzt? Ich bin auf dem Blog von Andreas auf einen interessanten Blogpost zu einer blogging challenge, also einer Blogparade gestoßen.

After reading similar posts from @AlexWolfe, @daj and @hryggrbyr, I started to think of my own list.

Looking for a blog challenge?
Here's one: go back in time and make a collage of articles that were written on this day/week/month.

Here's an example of what it can look like: 🍂
