Welcome to Vintage Charm Party #218
and January 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

January Feature of the Month:

Drum roll please..... Congratulations goes to

Kristi from French Creek Farmhouse!

Kristi from French Creek Farmhouse shared Wintertime Fun in the Family Room including this charming vintage vignette. I really love her pairing of a vintage camera and floral arrangement in a classic silver pitcher. Visit Kristi to see more of her cozy and practical decor!

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 Shannon from Wise Little Owl Furniture really knows how to breathe new life into old furniture. She can even take a vintage thrifted sofa table from Goodwill (my favorite thrifting spot) and turn it into fabulous farmhouse decor. Visit Farmhouse Sofa Table to see how she did it, including a secret method for getting a faux wood grain look on the top!

Cecilia's Pick

Julie from Sum of their Stories shared pretty floral Twig Heart Mini Pallet Art and a handy step-by-step tutorial so you can make it too! I love Julie's pairing of delicate florals and rustic twigs. Isn't it lovely?
