Vintage Charm is a vintage-themed link party where awesome thrifters and collectors link up each week with something new!

Welcome to Vintage Charm Party #104! Thanks to all who linked up last week. And if you're new here, welcome! We appreciate each and every one of you who continue to come back and party with us. We're in constant awe of your creativity and talent. And once again we can't wait to see what vintage goodies, finds and projects you all have to share with us today.

But first, let's find out what our hostesses have been up to!

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




While I've seen a few different DIY fabric pumpkin tutorials out there in blogland, I can honestly say that I've never come across one as ingenious as this one. Diana from the blog Dreams Factory shares her favorite way to make them cheaply and quickly with stunning results. I've tried to follow other tutorials with no success, but I think even I can make this one! And you'll never guess what she used to make hers! Stop by DIY No Sew Fabric Pumpkins to find out! 


Cecilia's Pick




Ann from Apple Street Cottage shared an upcycled Poplar Chest of Drawers that has me inspired to be on the lookout for the simple medium she used to achieve this look. I purposely chose a close-up photo of her project, not only to highlight the sweet finch and her lovely drawer front, but also to pique your interest. Ann promises a tutorial is coming soon, but in the meantime be sure to drop by to see the full finished project plus the supply she used that surprised and inspired me. (Hint -- I've seen it used before, but never with such beautiful results!) Thanks for the inspiration, Ann!
