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

Honestly, I think these masks are a little creepy… Honestly, I think these masks are a little creepy… but they are very cool too! This is such a fun way to display them! 

I think they seem creepier to me because I always think of Ed Gein, if you know, you know… 😳😳😳

I went to a garage sale yesterday that had SO MANY I went to a garage sale yesterday that had SO MANY vintage 80s toys, many of which were toys I had as a little girl. It almost brought tears to my eyes, nostalgia just works that way I think. ❤️ 

I think holidays are such a special time and I love pairing that special nostalgic feeling with every season. Is it a curse? Maybe, but maybe not? 🥹🥹🥹

There are SO many crafts to create with doilies. T There are SO many crafts to create with doilies. This was my creation last Fall and it was a huge hit! 👻 Use an embroidery hoop to affix a doily to create the body of the ghost and let the rest drape. Add two felt eyes and you have a spooky ghost! 👻👻👻

I get this question pretty often and it’s honestly I get this question pretty often and it’s honestly one of the simplest DIY’s. These plastic skeletons have a string that afixes the skull so it’s really simple to cut it and then take any jack-o’-lantern of your choosing, drill a small hole and then put it through the spine and it should stay put. 

These would look so cool if you did several of them and propped them up outside! 🎃🎃🎃🎃
