Weekly Features

It's been difficult for us to choose just one feature each. Your vintage finds, vignettes and just plain creativity have been awesome!

Kathleen's Pick

Cecilia of B Farm is quite the artist, as well as a thrifty DIY goddess. I'm in love with the vintage metal cart she utterly transformed with a little bit of elbow grease and a lotta talent! In Dog Art On A Cart she shares how she took a flea market find that had seen better days and gave it some artistic love. The end result is a fabulous retro vibe bar cart that anyone would LOVE to call their own. I know I would! Oh, and her two dog "models" (Buddy and Herbie) are the cutest. Drop by and see for yourself.

Sharon's Pick

Brooke at Suddenly Southern Blog picked up some wrapped wire vases a few weeks ago at Vintage Market Days of North Alabama. She used them as part of her {Vintage Style} Treasures on the Sideboard. In addition to the vases, the treasures on the sideboard include vintage postcards, photographs and other fun items from her vintage collections. You may remember Brooke from her former blog Creative Country Mom. Be sure to visit Brooke and follow along as she is Making a Home in the Heart of Dixie.

Cecilia's Pick

Barb from French Ethereal transformed a plain wooden miniature camper into the cutest little Shabby Chic Glamper. From a tiny license plate to bejeweled wheels, every detail is delightful! Drop by to get the tutorial and supply list to make your own.

Diana's Pick

Michelle who blogs at Our Crafty Mom achieved an amazing transformation of an old bookshelf using a [new-to-me] product called O'verlays. She turned that bookshelf into a stunning DIY bar cart, and said the hardest part was picking out the pattern she wanted to use. Now that's my kind of DIY.
