Welcome to Vintage Charm Party #502 
and July 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 
  July Feature of the Month:
 
Claire from Pillar Box Blue!



There's nothing quite like coastal decor in the summer. I'm a beach girl and am always game for a new beachy craft, especially if it involve sea shells -- and our friend Claire of Pillar Box Blue has the answer. She's put together a long list of beachy shell crafts, from coasters to mirrors to bowls to Christmas trees (!) for inspiration. Visit 25 Sea Shell Crafts and DIYs for Adults: Coastal Projects You’ll Love to find your favorite!

Now let's find out what our 
  hostesses have been up to!

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 frequently see vintage lamp globes while out thrifting, and I'm reminded of various DIY's I've seen online that feature those globes. Our friend Ann from Apple Street Cottage took her own thrifted vintage lamp globe to the next level by repurposing it for outdoor use. To see the final product and how she did it visit Upcycled Lighting - 2 Ways!  

Cecilia's Pick


Judy from Recipes Simple shared her recipe for Honey Mustard Chicken Wraps and they look absolutely scrumptious! Since I prefer homemade options, I can't wait to try our friend's homemade honey mustard sauce and tasty wraps--drop by for a visit so you can try them too!
