Merry Grinchmas Bedroom 2022

November 27, 2022 by thevettelfarm

Do you remember the girls' Grinch bedroom from last year? We had so much fun with it last year, that we decided to recreate the look in the nursery for this year! We found the most adorable Grinch blow mold at Walmart and we had to have another fun Grinchy bedroom! I can still remember watching the Grinch on cable television every Christmas and how excited I was to read the story in school too! It is such a colorful story with a wonderful meaning. One of my favorite additions to the bedroom this year was a sign that reads, "“Maybe Christmas he thought doesn’t come from a store. Maybe Christmas perhaps means a little bit more.” Click any of the photos below to shop some of the ...

It's finally that time of year, where all the new holiday decor is coming out! One of my favorite brands comes from the one and only, Joanna Gaines with the Hearth & Hand collection from Target.

Let’s make a JAM-o-rita! 🍓 Every few weeks I Let’s make a JAM-o-rita! 🍓 Every few weeks I get to enjoy my favorite type of margarita, one made with the remaining jam at the bottom of the jar. 

Jam-o-Rita
Add ice to your jam jar. Shoot for 1 T. of remaining jam in the jar. Add in 1 shot of tequila, lime juice and a few splashes of margarita mix of sparkling water. Shake! I like to rim the jar after this step with lime juice and salt. Enjoy! 🍋‍🟩

P.S. Any type of jam will work!

If you don’t have yardsticks, the vintage folding rulers work great for stars too! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Every year we plant A LOT of pumpkins to use in all our fall decorations. We plant them from seed and transplant to the garden. I can’t wait to see all of them this fall. 

Fall is 117 days away, but who’s counting! 🙋🏻‍♀️

Done and Done! You don’t have to tell me twice. Done and Done! You don’t have to tell me twice.  I have never felt bad for buying more vintage. 

💚 It reduces waste. Just think you are keeping those items out of landfills.

💚 One of a kind style, that is often made with high quality materials. Vintage lasts a lifetime. 

💚 Vintage can be cost effective (besides a few crazy thrift stores) and can sometimes have investment potential. I often believe this of my jadeite collection, many values have almost tripled. 

💚 Vintage pieces have history! They each tell a story and carry charm with them. 

Have I convinced you yet? Isn’t that jingle catchy!

Riding my bike in the summer growing up was the ul Riding my bike in the summer growing up was the ultimate freedom. We would ride to our friend’s houses, to the lake, and everywhere in between. 🚲 It’s the essence of summer fun! 

Each year I like to add a few decor pieces to vintage bikes to display around our farm. They bring me back to those childhood days of freedom. From flowers to patriotic decor, they each add a decorative flair to welcome summer. ❤️🚲❤️
