Now, it’s YOUR turn!
This is the place to share anything old, treasured, passed-down or tattered, but you can also share projects that were made to look old, including repurposed and upcycled creations.
Link Party Guidelines
- You are welcome to share anything vintage or vintage inspired. This includes yard sale finds, repurposed and upcycled creations, family heirlooms, and even vintage or vintage inspired items you have for sale. If it’s been around awhile or just looks that way…share away!! No food links please.
- Pin away, but please be sure to pin directly from the original source, not from my blog.
- Be sure to have a visible link to Beyond The Picket Fence (text link is fine) within your post.
- By linking up with the Vintage Inspiration Party you agree that your photos and links may be shared on Pinterest, Facebook, and other social media sites. You may be included in a round up to promote the party or individually, with a link back to you. We love what you share and the extra exposure is a benefit to everyone.

  5. That is such a good idea for a lot of us to do. That's a fine competition to be in, rewarding other forms of art and talents. I hope they've got a mechanism or two in place to not only ensure that they really get the best entries, but are able to really sift through all of them, and see what everybody's got to at least give every entries their proper levels of attention. Thanks for sharing that! More power to you!
