It's a very special party we have planned for you today, because we are inviting you to share your BEST Vintage-Inspired Everything from 2014. We want to see those projects, rooms, and home decor that you are most proud of from 2014 (vintage-inspired only please)!

We have 2 link-ups for you to use - The 1st is specifically for your BEST from 2014 . The 2nd link-up for anything vintage inspired that is NEW to the party (our regular link-up)!

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things, 2014 Edition

Thanks for indulging me in my walk down Beyond The Picket Fence's 2014 memory lane.  It is good for me to reflect and remind myself what I accomplished this past year.  My final favorite thing from this past year that I am sharing is really 5 projects, completed in one week.  5 projects that I created for my home's front porch.

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things, 2014 Edition

If you will indulge my walk done Beyond the Picket Fence Memory Lane, or at least my 2014 memories.

This rustic hall tree made from a roadside find was definitely one of my favorites from this past year.

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things, 2014 Edition

These are a few of my favorite things--you just sang that or are now humming the tune, right?  I know I am, but that is ok, it is from one of my favorite movies.  

Another favorite project from this past year was this reclaimed wood bench.

These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things 2014 Edition

I hope you all had a lovely Christmas and were able to enjoy time with your family and loved ones.  

I really can't believe it has come and gone already.  Time does indeed continue to march on--it is best to join the parade and march with it--rather than let it pass it you by.  

And since we have marched to end of another year, it is time for my annual "Favorite Things" review--where over the next few days I share some of my favorite projects from the past year.  They may not have been the most popular of the year, may not have had the most views, but these are the projects that I most enjoyed creating and sharing this past year.

The first one I am sharing is my scrap wood art.

Merry Christmas to you all from every one at the Vintage Inspiration Party! I am currently lounging underneath my Christmas tree in my pj's and sipping hot chocolate. It is time to enjoy some relaxed time with friends and family and nothing is more relaxing than to watch other people work So I had great fun browsing the linkups from last weeks Vintage Inspiration Party and select my favorites. Before I go on to share them there is one special announcement I'd like to make.     

Next week is the last Vintage Inspiration Party of the year and it will be a special one! We will have a special linkup where you can share your absolute best, most inspired, favorite Vintage project of the year. So go dig in your archives to see what you finished this year and link up the best of the best at next weeks party! But first there is this week's party!

Half a Dozen Last Minute Ideas

Time is a ticking and my previous "I have it all together attitude" has turned a wee bit to "Oh my, how am I going to get it all done?!"  Regardless of what I do or don't get done, I am enjoying the season and the preparations.  If you need some quick last minute ideas, I thought I'd share a few favorites from the past. 

A quick and easy banner to add a touch of plaid to your decor.

State art that you can create in under 30 minutes.

Toffee that has only 4 ingredients.

Quick sugar scrub that leaves your skin smooth as silk.

Raspberry Vinegar--beautiful to give and delicious on a salad.

Make a door knob coat hook for a favorite friend.
