Best Neutral Fall Stems

August 27, 2022 by thevettelfarm

Growing up in New York, I had the distinct opportunity to live where Fall is absolutely breathtaking. I remember raking leaves was my favorite because my Mom and Dad would always let me jump in the massive piles.

This little garden planter is pieced together from broken vintage glassware and finished with stamped silverware tucked in like tiny heirlooms. Every crack, every pattern, every piece tells a story and now they’re all growing something new together.

A reminder that even the most delicate things can be remade into something beautiful again ✨

This may be one of my top favorite wreaths of all This may be one of my top favorite wreaths of all time. I find these exquisite oval, antique frames often and they are such a simple way to create a beautiful entrance at your front door. I use a small amount of floral wire to affix faux florals and a mini bird’s nest for Spring.
