Welcome to Vintage Charm Party #538

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:

Congratulations go to

Kimberly from From Farmhouse to Florida!

I've always loved sand dollars and the story behind them. I collected them as a kid on the beach in Galveston, Texas. Kimberly of From Farmhouse to Florida has shared the story, as well as how she uses them as decor. Visit The Legend of the Sand Dollar for all the 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

Mother's Day is rapidly approaching -- have you thought of what you might want on that day? Our friend Nicolle from Our Tiny Nest has a great suggestion and recipe for how to celebrate -- The Perfect Strawberry Lemonade "Momosa!" The tasty rose ice cubes are genius. Visit her post to get the super simple recipe!

Cecilia's Pick

Regardless of trends that come and go, my fondness for pretty painted furniture endures so I absolutely love this transformation shared by Kathy from Petticoat Junktion. Visit our friend to check out How to Whitewash French Provincial Furniture and see the before as well as her tried-and-true tips!
