Pack the Perfect “Vintage Style” Picnic

May 23, 2023 by thevettelfarm

Packing the perfect picnic entails three elements; good food, a good blanket, and a good basket. Using vintage elements for your picnic takes your picnic to another level of sophistication. The girls and I decided we wanted to create a bucket list of sorts for the summer and going on a picnic was at the top of our list! So let's walk through the elements of the perfect "vintage style" picnic, so that you can add this to your bucket list for the summer too. Good Food Food is the central showpiece of every great picnic, so it deserves time and attention. We have been using the Wildgrain themed  subscription service to get the best artisanal breads, pastas, and pastries delivered to us ...

Four Leaf Clover Ciabatta Bread

March 5, 2022 by thevettelfarm

When it comes to bread baking, simplicity is always my genre! This recipe is so very simple and very festive for Spring and St. Patrick's Day of course! The use of frozen dinner rolls makes this baking project easy for kiddos and beginners alike.

It started with a mushroom set and somehow an enti It started with a mushroom set and somehow an entire spooky woodland Halloween mantel followed. 🍄 #ad There’s something about the @balsamhill Mossy Woodland Mushroom Set that feels like it belongs in a forgotten little spooky forest. They are so realistic and the perfect set to spark your Fall decorating! 

I wanted this mantel to feel earthly, collected, a little mysterious, and just spooky enough. Think vintage storybook meets enchanted forest after dark. And these mushrooms became the piece that inspired all of it. 🍄

The Mossy Woodland Mushroom Set is such an easy piece to carry from early fall straight through Halloween and honestly, I think I’ll be finding excuses to style these long after autumn. Use code COURTNEYV50FALL to get $50 off orders $250 or more! Check out the link in my bio to shop! 

Would you go spooky woodland for Halloween?

The first day of school is always so special, so w The first day of school is always so special, so why not celebrate it BIG! 📚✂️✏️ We had our meet the teacher night last night and the kiddos are so excited to head back to school next week! 

So we’re bringing back the kind of first day of school worth remembering with @mymindseyeinc 🍎 One that feels a little slower, a little sweeter, and maybe even a little like stepping into an old schoolhouse photograph.

Because someday, these will be the “good old days” they look back on. Here’s to new teachers, new friends, new adventures…and making the first day feel just as special as it deserves to be. 🍎
