Our Hopeful Home: VIntage Charm #472 and 2024 Feature of the Year

Welcome to Vintage Charm Party #472
and 2024 Feature of the Year!

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

VINTAGE CHARM PARTY'S
FEATURE OF THE YEAR FOR 2024:

Drum roll please . . . . Congratulations goes to

Lora B. of

Create & Ponder!

I've always loved crafts that incorporate vintage and/or unique items that hold a special place in our hearts. Our friend Lora from Create & Ponder has found a way to do just that. She incorporates vintage hankies she's received from family members into a fabulous "wreath" embellished with -- wait for it -- vintage brooches! Be still, my heart! You can't get more unique than that. Drop by Nostalgic DIY Handkerchief Wreath With Vintage Pins to see her stunning creation and get the tutorial.

As the Feature of the Year winner, Lora will receive an Etsy gift card from the Vintage Charm Party hostesses!

Remember, the Feature of the Year was selected from our Feature of the Month winners. In addition to weekly features, new features will be chosen each month -- link up every Wednesday for your chance to be featured!

Now let's find out what our

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 Raquel from Organized Island knows how to do chocolate! Why not try mixing it with marshmallow? Um, yes! Visit Hot Chocolate Cupcakes to get her yummy recipe.

Cecilia's Pick

Sandra from Dinner at Eight shared Festive Reindeer for an Effortless Table on New Year's Day and I am smitten with her elegant setting! The reindeer are beautiful and be sure to drop by for a visit to check out our friend's gorgeous poinsettia dishes!
