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

May Feature of the Month:

Drum roll please......

Congratulations goes to

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

Aren't these "Pie" pin cushions absolutely adorable? They remind me of the old fabric tomato pin cushions my mom used when I was growing up. Cherry, lemon, chocolate or blueberry -- which one's your favorite? I'll take them all, please! Drop by The Little Yellow Corner Store's Are You A Cutie Pie to see these "scrumptious" and playful hand made pin cushions.

Cecilia's Pick

Our friend Debra from Common Ground creates the loveliest vignettes as exemplified in her Country Cottage Garden Display. A garden gate, dried hydrangeas, a tool-filled tote, and vintage art--what's not to love?! Pay Debra a visit for more details and to see where she finds inspiration!

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.
