Welcome to Vintage Charm Party #274

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 Amber

Follow The Yellow Brick Home!

I have always had a fondness for handmade Valentines. I made them with my kids and have continued the tradition with Ginger Grand, so I am absolutely smitten with these gorgeous DIY Shabby Vintage Hearts shared by our friend, Amber, at Follow the Yellow Brick Home. You won't believe the beautiful vignettes she created from scrapbooking supplies and her craft stash -- be sure to visit Amber to take a peek at all of her lovelies!

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 the name of our friend Robin's blog: Junk Is My Life. I can relate lol. In her post Non-Traditional Easter Baskets, she shares a great idea for using vintage finds to decorate for Easter with a twist. She's got me thinking about what I can use from my own home that will make a similar vintage Easter statement. Be sure to stop by and see how she did it.

Cecilia's Pick

Our friend CoCo from The Crowned Goat shared a gorgeous French Country Planter that she transformed with a little paint and a bit of patience. Be sure to drop by for a visit, so you can fully appreciate how CoCo's attention to details elevates a simple planter to a thing of beauty!
