Our Hopeful Home: Vintage Charm Party #417 and November Feature of the Month

Welcome to Vintage Charm Party #417

and November 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

October Feature of the Month:

Congratulations Goes To

Debra from Common Ground!

Gingerbread people/houses/villages are so IN this year, have you noticed? There are so many ways you can decorate with them. Our friend Debra of Common Ground had a very creative and adorable idea -- to buy plain little wooden houses and paint them up for the season! Drop by Easy Woodblock Christmas Gingerbread Houses to see how she made them and how she styled them in her home.

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

Christmas tree art made out of vintage jewelry pieces

Our friend Ann of Apple Street Cottage has created a beautiful, out of the box Christmas craft. She's taken some vintage jewelry pieces and turned them into a gorgeous Christmas tree on burlap. I've seen this done before but hers takes the cake. Be sure to visit How To Create A Unique Jewelry Tree to see how she did it.

Cecilia's Pick

If you love puff pastry as much as I do, you won't want to miss The Savory Cipolla's recipe for Sun-Dried Tomato Puff Pastry Palmiers with Pesto! YUM! Whether you're looking for a new winter recipe or want to wow guests during the holiday, visit Liz for the delicious details!
