Vintage Charm Party #145

August 8, 2018


Welcome to Vintage Charm Party #145! 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.

Now 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

vintage yellow bike garden planter baskets flowers


Mrs. Bright Ideas, from the blog of the same name (My Bright Ideas Blog), has put together a fun garden installation that I've wanted for, like, forever. She took an old bike and spray painted it a happy yellow. Then, she used it to create a garden planter! Drop by her blog and read about how to Turn  An Old Bike Into A Garden Planter. Summer isn't over (seriously) and there's still time to make one of your own, I promise.


Cecilia's Pick


Julie from Sum of Their Stories crafted a lovely Vintage Handkerchief Jewelry Pouch that I absolutely adore! After she was given a pile of vintage hankies from her friend's mother's estate, she used them to create fragrant sachets and this beautiful jewelry pouch. Pay Julie a visit for her detailed tutorial, so you can make one too. Love it, Julie!
