Welcome to Vintage Charm Party #489

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:

Mariama from Foodnutters!

Mariama from Foodnutters shared this Orange Dandelion Cake that looks beautiful and delicious! Although I've never tasted dandelion cake, I would gladly try a generous slice--hop on over to visit our friend and grab her recipe and step-by-step instructions!

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

Looking for an easy DIY Mother's Day gift to whip up in time for the big day? Look no further than our friend Tonya of 24 Hour Family's lavender bath bombs. Can you say spa day? Visit How to Make Lavender Bath Bombs to get the details!

Cecilia's Pick

I don't know about you, but I eats lots of flavorful salads during spring and summer and Missy from Sonata Home Design is a girl after my own heart--pairing sweet and savory in this scrumptious Strawberry Basil Salad Recipe with Spinach and Feta Cheese...YUM! Pay our friend a visit for all the details!

Party Guidelines

(Does #6 say "Prizes"???)

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.

4. Hostess Love: Consider following each of your party hostesses' blogs and/or one or more forms of social media. We love connecting with each of our guests and will be highlighting features on all of our social media.

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.

7. Permission: By linking up to Vintage Charm you assert that the photographs are yours (or you have permission to use them) and you give your hostesses permission to feature them on social media or a blog party with a link back to your blog. You will likewise assert that the content of the post is your own.
