Grandmillennial Hobbies

Oriente Italiano Needlepoint

Grandmillennial hobbies are a very popular trend. Granny hobbies are low-tech and tactile. No longer for just octogenarians, these hobbies are being embraced by Gen Z and millennials. They include needlecraft like needlepoint, knitting, quilting, and crocheting. Domestic arts include cooking, baking, canning, gardening, and bird watching. Puzzles, cards, board games, and tile games of all sorts are wildly popular, especially mahjong. Art activites like pottery, painting, and drawing as well as paint by numbers have renewed interest. (I think collecting chinoiserie especially blue and white Chinese porcelain should be added to the list.)

Backgammon , Bridge, Board Games

House Beautiful

House Beautiful online did a piece on hobbies that grandmillenials are taking up, especially during this stay at home period. Examples included needlepoint and flower arranging, both things I love. Another was board games. I used to play lots of backgammon in law school. I love this set featured here. Any idea what it is?

They also mentioned a discontinued Lilly Pulitzer Monopoly set which is apparently crazy collectible. I would love to find this.

I'm debating taking up bridge - very popular down here. I'd love to find a needlepoint card table cover like the one in the top picture.

I looked on eBay and Etsy but didn't find anything yet.

This oomph backgammon table is $4,000!

Caspari has some lovely bridge sets like this.

Any ideas?
