Our Hopeful Home: Vintage Charm Party #266 and December Feature of the Month

Welcome to Vintage Charm Party #266

and

December 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

December Feature of the Month:

Drum roll please...

Congratulations goes to Rachel

The Ponds Farmhouse!

I'm a huge fan of natural Christmas decor and have loved using fragrant dried oranges throughout my home this year, so I adore the DIY Real Cedar and Orange Topiaries shared by Rachel from The Ponds Farmhouse. Aren't they gorgeous?! Pay Rachel a visit for her detailed step-by-step tutorial!

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

When it comes to renovating I usually go with conventional choices. But sometimes you just gotta think outside the box. Libbie, of A Life Unfolding, did just that with her DIY Mid-Century Modern Wood Accent Wall.The family game room was definitely taken up a notch after she created the unique wall and painted it with emerald green paint. Stop by to get her tutorial and see just how cool the whole room looks!

Cecilia's Pick

Our friend Rita from Panoply shared a wonderful end-of-the-year post, It's a Wrap. I always admire her skill in curating all of her posts from the whole year. Rita also managed to find the cutest 2020 ornament I've seen as well as capturing that "in limbo" feeling many of us wrestled during the pandemic. Pay her a visit--you're in for a treat!

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.
