Our Hopeful Home: Vintage Charm Party #468 and November Feature of the Month

Welcome to Vintage Charm Party #468

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 November Feature of the Month:

Ann from Ann's Entitled Life!

I must admit I've always loved baking more than cooking, especially around the holidays. So you can imagine my glee when I came across a recipe for a new-to-me Christmas cookie. They're so unique I must say I've never seen anything like it, thanks to our friend Ann from Ann's Entitled Life. Check out her Cookie Puzzles Recipe to find out what I mean!

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

accordian paper vintage DIY Christmas ornaments

I'm always on the lookout for unique DIY Christmas ornaments. And if they're vintage-inspired -- all the better! Our friend Claire from Pillar Box Blue has shared just such an ornament. Using vintage book pages and very little supplies she has created some very unique and lovely paper ornaments. Visit How to Make DIY Paper Christmas Baubles from Old Books to get the tutorial.

Cecilia's Pick

peppermint oreo truffles Christmas treats

Arlene from Flour on My Face shared her recipe for one of my favorite treats--truffles! Our friend's Peppermint Oreo Truffles look absolutely delicious and I can tell you from experience that friends and family are delighted to receive homemade truffles as a gift. Pay Arlene a visit for all the details!
