Our Hopeful Home: Vintage Charm Party #455 and August Feature of the Month

Welcome to Vintage Charm Party #455

and August 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 August Feature of the Month:

Wendy from My French Twist!

I absolutely love this tutorial for the Cutest Sharpie Mug Ever shared by our friend, Wendy, from My French Twist. Wouldn't these make great gifts? Pay our friend a visit for lots of design inspiration as well as her no-fail tip for correcting any mistakes.

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

While I haven't painted any furniture in a while, I always love to see a great makeover. And boy, did Natalie and Taylor from A Ray of Sunlight hit one out of the ballpark! I especially love how they left the legs natural (and that paint color is gorgeous). Stop by Dark Green Buffet Makeover to see its beauty and learn how they did it.

Cecilia's Pick

Inspired by Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven, MaryJo from MasterPieces of My Life shared How to Create a Nevermore Vignette. Isn't it spectacularly spooky? Pay our friend a visit to see more of her eerie decor details.

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.

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.
