Our Hopeful Home: Vintage Charm Party #180 and April Feature of the Month

Welcome to Vintage Charm Party #180!

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, we'd like to announce our

APRIL FEATURE OF THE MONTH:

Drum roll please..... Congratulations goes to

Denise from My Thrifty House

Our friend, Denise from My Thrifty House, participated in a Thrift Store Decor Challenge resulting in this Beautiful DIY Deconstructed Chair. Wow! Needless to say, Denise was thrilled when she and her hubby discovered the chair's beauty hidden under five layers of upholstery. She credits her hubby for removing hundreds of staples--now that's commitment--one chair down and one to go! Visit Denise and her DIY hubby for more details!

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

I've always loved finding vintage embroidery and needlework throughout my my thrift store, flea market and estate sale travels. So I was equally thrilled to come across Whispers of the Heart's vast collection of these vintage works of art. From a map of the United States to "God Bless Our Home," her collection of needlework speaks to my vintage-loving heart. Drop by The Fabrics of Our Lives to see her incredible collection.

Cecilia's Pick

Kathy, from Southern Style, Southern Charm, shared a charming Vintage Typewriter Ribbon Tin Collection. Her styled shelf display is eye candy for any vintage collector--I had no idea there were so many lovely varieties! Visit Kathy to view the full collection!
