Our Hopeful Home: Vintage Charm Party #283 and April Feature of the Month

Welcome to Vintage Charm Party #283

and April 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

April Feature of the Month:

Drum roll please......

Congratulations goes to

Debra of Common Ground!

Our friend, Debra, from Common Ground, has a unique talent for combining vintage and natural elements to create gorgeous vignettes. This time she did it with a vintage frame and bird's nest garland. The result: sublime. Drop by Nature's Wild Victorian Wreath and get a glimpse of this romantic vintage display as well as the details on how she did it.

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 don't know about you but I'm so ready for sprouting flowers and spring/summer foliage! Our friend Sandra from Dinner At Eight feels the same way and has shared her lovely spring yard in bloom for all to see. Drop by The First Blossoms In the Spring Garden and see her gorgeous flowering trees, shrubs and perennial bulbs.

Cecilia's Pick

Our friend Priyam from Simple Joys shared her beautiful fresh fruit tart recipe that looks absolutely scrumptious! This colorful tart would wow guests for any occasion--drop by for a visit so you can make your own tasty treat!
