Our Hopeful Home: Vintage Charm Party #222 and February Feature of the Month

Welcome to Vintage Charm Party #222
and February 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

February Feature of the Month:

Drum roll please..... Congratulations goes to

Anne from Dabbling and Decoraing!

Our friend Ann from Dabbling and Decorating designs a pretty awesome vintage Valentine's vignette. What makes it even more special is that the focal point actually belonged to her Mom! Add a special twist to the vignette involving her Dad and she really hits it out of the ball park. Visit Valentine's Day Centerpiece to learn about the vignette's back story and get inspired. I know I was!

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, Nita, from Mod Vintage Life, knows what it's like to kvetch over a home improvement project (as do I). She's dreamed of redoing her kitchen for some time, but budget constraints have limited her -- as most of us are limited. Despite this, her dream will be turning into reality soon. Drop by Pretty Things In The Kitchen to find out just what those dreams are, and how she's going to accomplish them.

Cecilia's Pick

Our friend, Debbie, from A Debbie-Dabble Blog, hosted a Valentine get-together with friends. She pulled out a variety of red transferware patterns from her China cabinet in the den to create a lovely Winter Transferware Tablescape. Debbie has such a pretty collection, I couldn't resist sharing more than one view. Of course, she knows that true Dishaholics--myself included-- love to see the China backstamp! Visit Debbie to enjoy more of her lovely tablescape!
