Our Hopeful Home: Vintage Charm Party #322 and January Feature of the Month

Welcome to Vintage Charm Party #322

and January 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

January Feature of the Month:

Congratulations goes to

Virginia of Artsy VaVa!

Our dear friend, Virginia, from Artsy VaVa has done it again. After scoring a vintage half table that needed some love, she put her talent to work and totally transformed it with not only paint -- she also decoupaged the top with some darling print rice paper, and that's what makes it so special. Be sure to visit Decoupage With Dixie Belle to see the charming "after" pics and to get all the details.

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 Blue Sky at Home is a real super crafter! If you're short on Valentine's vignette ideas then her blog is the place to go -- she shares a ton of great ideas for easy and inexpensive ways to create a fun Valentine ambiance in your own home. Drop by Ideas For Making Valentine Vignettes and check them all out!

Cecilia's Pick

Beth from Creatively Beth shared a darling Conversation Candy Heart Banner. Her combination of pastel hearts and pom pom trim captures the perfect nostalgic Valentine's Day vibe and she shares step-by-step instructions so you can make one, too!
