Our Hopeful Home: Vintage Charm Party #210 and November Feature of the Month

Welcome to Vintage Charm Party #210
and November Feature of the Month!

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

November FEATURE OF THE MONTH:

Drum roll please..... Congratulations goes to

Claire from Pillar Box Blue!

Our friend Claire from Pillar Box Blue has done it again, this time with a rotary power tool and a china plate. Just when you think you've seen it all in the way of creative Christmas crafts, think again. Claire upcycled her china plate into mini Christmas trees! I applaud her creativity and skill, and urge you to drop by How To Upcycle China Plates With A Ryobi Rotary Tool to see how she did it and be inspired.

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 love simple and delicious baked goods -- maybe too much sometimes lol. That's why I'm drawn to quick bread recipes in general and this one in particular -- from our friend Nora over at Treat & Trick. Her Cranberry Quick Bread Recipe is a must-see. Simple to make and delicious, just the right kind of recipe for the upcoming holidays! Enjoy!

Cecilia's Pick

idim in Berlin shared a tutorial for a chic Stylized Christmas Tree Wall Hanging created with handmade tassels. If you haven't made tassels before--no worries--she shows you how to do that, too! Drop by her blog for all of the lovely details!
