Welcome to Vintage Charm Party #493 

and May 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 

  May Feature of the Month:

 

Amy from The Copper Table!

Amy from The Copper Table has the right idea about the power of simple ingredient dressings -- their flavor usually packs a wallop and they can be used in many different ways. Making them with fresh ingredients doesn't hurt, either! Visit Basil Balsamic Vinaigrette to get this super summer-ready recipe!

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 thought I'd seen it all when it comes to charcuterie boards. Well, I was wrong. Our friend Tonya from 24 hour FAMILY showed me that the possibilities are endless! She actually made a butter candle charcuterie board! And if you don't know what that is, you're not alone. To find out what it is and how to make one be sure to drop by How to Make an Edible Butter Candle Charcuterie Board!

Cecilia's Pick

Sara  from Birdz of a Feather never ceases to amaze me with her creatively clever projects and her latest, a DIY Vintage Button Necklace does not disappoint! Pay our friend a visit to see her inventive step-by-step tutorial for this gorgeous necklace!

(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.
