The Vettel Farm

DIY, Home Decor, & Lifestyle blog

About

Hello, I am so happy you are here. My name is Courtney and I am the creator of The Vettel Farm. I am a wife, mom, retired school counselor, cook, photographer, writer, and former rodeo queen.

A few fun facts about me:

  • I was born in New York and lived there until I was 9. I then moved to South Dakota (culture shock) and now live in North Dakota (my forever home).
  • I have watched Martha Stewart and read the Martha Stewart Living Magazine since I was 7. I have a collection of every single magazine.
  • I collect cookbooks. I have way too many and I have moved them way too many times.
  • I studied French in high school, with hopes of traveling to France to learn how to cook French cuisine, but I can really only tell you my name and that I like butter in french now.
  • I studied photography and journalism in college.
  • I was Miss Rodeo South Dakota in 2009 and was 2nd runner up to Miss Rodeo America in 2010.
  • I have a masters in Counseling and worked as a school counselor for 10 years. I retired two years ago to stay home with my littles and run The Vettel Farm full-time.
  • I hope to write a cookbook or vintage home decor book someday.

~Courtney

Hand on my heart, I think it would be a Halloween Hand on my heart, I think it would be a Halloween party in the 1920s! 🎃 I’ve also recently become obsessed with an early 20th century New Year’s party on a train (reference East of Eden 😆). 

Where would you time travel? 🖤🎃🖤🎃

Most of my cloche tops I pick up at garage sales, then choose a “flat” pumpkin and you have a pumpkin cloche! ✨

This idea came to me when I found a lot of antique This idea came to me when I found a lot of antique daguerreotypes at an auction. I actually didn’t win the auction lot but I spent lots of time after trying to hunt down these charming photos of the past. 

Their detail is unmatched and to think about the process of how these were made makes them so fascinating! I knew they deserved to be part of my Halloween decor. 

I found the perfect clips to hang them, with no damage to the daguerreotype. What do you think, too spooky or too cool?! 🖤🖤🖤
