Our Hopeful Home: Vintage Charm Party #515 and October Feature of the Month

Welcome to Vintage Charm Party #515!

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 October Feature of the Month:

Have you noticed how challenging it is to find a lamp shade that you love that doesn't break the bank? Julie from Sum of Their Stories shared the perfect solution--her fabulous Paper Silhouette Lamp Shade Upcycle ticks all the boxes. Pay our friend a visit for the lovely little details!

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 always loved being put in charge of the name tags for Thanksgiving when I was a kid. As an adult, not so much. That's why I love an easy idea that fits the bill -- like the one shared by Nathalie of Press Print Party! It's festive, simple to make and -- wait for it -- even includes a treat! Drop by DIY Mini Pumpkin Place Card Holders with a Surprise Treat! to get the details.

Cecilia's Pick

Carol from The Answer is Chocolate shared an adorable bottle craft and the creative title of her post speaks for itself: There's No People Like Snow People! Pay our friend a visit and check out the darling details for yourself!
