Fresh Vintage by Lisa S!

I'm always a fan of creating something new from a cherished treasure, so I am absolutely smitten with these charming repurposed vintage pillowcase hanger covers. This is the perfect project for otherwise lovely pillowcases that may have a hole or stain. Visit our friend for her easy to follow tutorial!

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 Maria from the blog Pure Happy Home has created a warm and welcoming fall front porch. The elements are accessible to all, and at least one of the tips I know I'll be using this year myself (can you say painted pumpkins?)! Be sure to drop by Pottery Barn-Inspired Fall Front Porch to get all the details.

Cecilia's Pick

If you live in a warm climate like I do, maybe you're longing for some autumn weather--I know I am! Well, when it comes to food, Cindy from Seasonal and Holiday Recipe Exchange has you covered. Her recipe for Gram's Sour Cream Spice Cake with Praline Frosting will give you all the fall feels even if the weather isn't cooperating! Doesn't it look absolutely scrumptious?!
