Our Hopeful Home: Vintage Charm Party #480 and February Feature of the Month

Welcome to Vintage Charm Party #480

and February 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

February Feature of the Month:

Mary Jo from Master "Pieces" of My Life!

I always enjoy finding a new-to-me project--especially when it's crafted with thrift store finds. MaryJo from MasterPieces of My Life shared How to Stain Thrifted Glassware and I really love the results! Pay our friend a visit so you can create your own!

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

I've always loved shabby chic just about anything, including lamps. One of my favorites is a deconstructed lamp with no shade that I've had in my craft room for years. Well, now I have an idea for a "shade"! Cindy from Country Road 407 shares a simple yet stunning idea in How To Create the Easiest Vintage Lampshade Ever. Visit to get her easy DIY!

Cecilia's Pick

It seems I'm not the only one anticipating spring and all things floral. Jeanne from Selep Imaging attended an orchid show that featured this gorgeous peacock...swoon! Visit Orchid Show Peacock for all the lovely details!

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.
