I'm always stumped when it comes to decorating for 4th of July. So I rarely do. But our dear friend Mary Jo, from Master "PIECES" of My Life, really has the hang of it. She uses thrifted, found and vintage items mixed together to create a laid back patriotic vibe that I just love. Drop by Patriotic Decorating Details to get some great tips on things you can easily do to spruce up your home for the 4th.

Claire from Picture Box Blue shared a post about Vintage Passion Flower Drawings that is both informative and beautiful! I found the references to the symbolism of Christ particularly interesting. Pay Claire a visit to see more lovely varieties of this unique flower!

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.
