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, Carol, from Bluesky At Home, has recently completed a project that I am FOR SURE going to do myself! It's almost like she knew that I've been searching for inexpensive blue and white chinoiserie vases and ginger jars to no avail. Problem solved: use thrift store items or shop your house and decoupage them to look like the real thing! Be sure to drop by How To Make A Chinoiserie Style Lamp With Decoupage and check it out along with her great tutorial!

Cecilia's Pick

Our friend, Joy, from A Vintage Green, shared Thrifted Finds From Many Years Ago and her peonies are so gorgeous, it was impossible to choose between them and the whimsical vintage bulldog! Visit Joy to see her other vintage goodies!

Party Guidelines

(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.

4. Hostess Love: Consider following each of your party hostesses' blogs and/or one or more forms of social media. We love connecting with each of our guests and will be highlighting features on all of our social media.

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. You will likewise assert that the content of the post is your own.
