Our Hopeful Home: Vintage Charm Party #189 and June Feature of the Month

Welcome to Vintage Charm Party #189!

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

JUNE FEATURE OF THE MONTH:

Drum roll please..... Congratulations goes to

Sandra from Dinner at Eight

Our friend Sandra from Dinner at Eight really knows how to throw a dinner party. In honor of her daughter's graduation from the University of North Georgia, she hired Master Chef Lindsay Haigh to make the dinner both delicious and memorable. Between the custom menu and the custom tablescape she created a special night, indeed. Be sure to stop by The Graduation Party to get all the fun 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

Our friend Tiffany over at Tee Diddly Dee sure knows how to create spot-on vignettes for each holiday. For Fourth of July she put her DIY picket fence crate to work and created a beautiful patriotic vignette. She fills it with flowers, pinwheels, wooden stars and a Bethany Lowe paper mache figurine. Drop by DIY Betsy's Sweet Land of Liberty to catch the vignette as well as the instructions on how to make one of your own.

Cecilia's Pick

I'm loving this rustic Mini Hosta Tool Box Planter shared by Vanessa at Gardening in the Shade. I'm a fan of tool box planters and have even planted a few myself, but what sets Vanessa's apart is her clever addition of address numbers in the lid! I also like her combination of silvery-green plants that look cool even when the temperatures are hot! Visit Vanessa for her simple tutorial!

(Does #6 say "Prizes"???)

1. Content: Submit up to three posts that involve vintage finds, crafts, DIYs and other vintage subject matter. No shops or direct advertising, please.

2. Link-back: We'd love it if you'd include the Vintage Charm button or a text link back to the party in your linked post.

3. Visitation: Please visit other blog posts -- after all that's what a link-up is all about. When pinning please go to the source of the photo to pin it so the originator of the post gets the credit.

5. Spread the Word: Consider mentioning Vintage Charm on your social media to help spread the word and make this party a great experience for everyone.

6. Prizes: Keep in mind that each month we will select one of the month's featured posts to be featured on both hostesses' blogs. At the end of the year one of the twelve monthly features will be selected as the Grand Prize Feature of the Year. Prize TBA.

7. Permission: By linking up to Vintage Charm you assert that the photographs are yours (or you have permission to use them) and you give your hostesses permission to feature them on social media or a blog party with a link back to your blog.
