5 Vintage Fourth of July Tablescape Ideas

June 28, 2022 by thevettelfarm

Fourth of July in our area lends two paths - lake time or rodeos paired with parades. Most of my Fourth of July celebrations have been spent on the back of a horse in a rodeo arena carrying an American flag or waving to fans in the parade but I’m happy to report that this year will be much cooler for our family - AT THE LAKE! To kick off this Fourth of July pre-week I wanted to share a few patriotic ideas to incorporate a little vintage into your 4th of July festivities! Vintage Tablecloths Interestingly enough I only allow myself to collect vintage tablecloths that are red, white, and blue (and vintage Christmas tablecloths too). Vintage tablecloths have the cutest patterns and the ...

Vintage Patriotic Decor

July 1, 2019 by thevettelfarm

First it's Memorial Day, then Flag Day, then the FOURTH of JULY! So naturally summer is the best time to deck the halls with some red, white and blue of course! I want to share with you some fun ways to incorporate vintage charm into your patriotic farmhouse decor. Vintage Crocks - I have been an avid collector of Red Wing vintage crocks for a couple of years, which has graduated into collections of any vintage stoneware! This beautiful pottery with the blue accents makes for the perfect pieces to display greenery or a few American flags. Hang a large American flag - I lucked out and found this flag in the giveaway pile at my workplace, but I have seen glorious vintage American ...

Attention, Christmas shoppers! The toy department Attention, Christmas shoppers! The toy department is looking especially merry. 🎄✨

Vintage toy trucks, dollhouses, and little barns have been dressed for the season with vintage Santas, reindeer, and a little North Pole magic. Each one feels like a tiny Christmas window display, the kind you’d stop to admire with your nose pressed to the glass.

Find a little Christmas nostalgia for your home in my Etsy shop. Tap the link in my bio to shop the toy department to add a little vintage Christmas whimsy to your holiday this year! 🎄
Nobody does Christmas nostalgia quite like Macy’s. Nobody does Christmas nostalgia quite like Macy’s. ✨

The wooden escalators, the vintage shop, the twinkling displays, the feeling that you might just run into Santa around the next corner. 🎄

I’ve always loved the days when Christmas shopping was an occasion. I miss a good department store so much! 🥹 The decorated windows, the bustling frenzy, a whole afternoon spent choosing something special. Walking through Macy’s on 34th Street feels like catching a little piece of that magic truly. It was one of my favorite adventures yesterday. 

Highly recommend if you are in New York City this holiday season! 🎄

A little fluffing, a little Christmas magic, and t A little fluffing, a little Christmas magic, and the season begins! 🎄✨ In partnership with @balsamhill 🎄I’m sharing my five favorite tips for getting your faux tree holiday-ready:

✨ Start with a clean, clear space.
✨ Wear gloves to protect your hands while fluffing.
✨ Fluff as you build, shaping each section before adding the next.
✨ Choose a pre-lit tree for easy setup and an even glow. This Sugarland Spruce has clear candlelight lights! 
✨ Invest in quality for a tree you’ll look forward to bringing out year after year. @balsamhill has so many wonderful options when it comes to quality! 

We’re officially #ReadyForTheHolidays—and ready to bring out the ornaments! ❤️ #BalsamHillPartner
