This or That – Easter Basket Edition

March 23, 2023 by thevettelfarm

It is amazing how when you look closely at a new product, its roots are deeply grounded in vintage products. Which makes it no surprise that vintage inspired items are highly sought after today.

Terracotta DIY Bunnies

March 15, 2023 by thevettelfarm

Remember those viral terracotta pumpkins from this past fall that EVERYONE was making? Well it's almost Spring, so that means we need some terracotta bunnies! This project is so simple and satisfying. It's the perfect way to upcycle a few thrifted bunnies or bunnies that have lost their style over the years. They lend the perfect garden nod to any spring display! For supplies I like to use a combination of different acrylic paint colors to achieve the perfect terracotta color. My three favorites are Folkart Terra Cotta - Dusty Trail, Delta Cermacoat - Terra Cotta, and Apple Barrel - Chesnut. You will also need a small paint brush, corn starch and a paper towel. You can use any type of ...

Because the best Fourth of July decorations are the ones you can eat, right! 😆

Two pieces of American history… one frame. 🇺🇸 A v Two pieces of American history… one frame. 🇺🇸

A vintage flag that once flew proudly and sheet music that once filled a room with song, layered together to tell a story of home, heritage, and the generations that came before us.

I love finding new ways to preserve old treasures, especially when they carry so much history. I found this fantastic flag at the thrift!  What’s your favorite piece of Americana you’ve collected?

A stack of worn vintage tennis rackets, a handful A stack of worn vintage tennis rackets, a handful of small American flags, and a little imagination turned into the sweetest nod to summer nostalgia. 🇺🇸

Proof that vintage treasures and a little red, white, and blue can make everyday decorating feel like a cherished memory. 🇺🇸
