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 ...

Colorful Vintage Inspired Christmas Decor

November 11, 2022 by thevettelfarm

This year I am bringing in ALL the colors to my vintage Christmas decor! Typically I am a traditional red and green gal, but my King of Christmas pink flocked tree has convinced me that color is everything this year! Think bright, colorful Shiny Brites, Christmas trees in every color, and the most adorable Putz houses in every shade of the rainbow! I have rounded up a few of the amazing vintage inspired finds that are inspiring me for my colorful, holiday decor this year! And if you are in the market for a new Christmas tree, this pink Christmas tree is so, so good. It is a marvelous shade of pink and the flocking makes it look so vintage.

Tips for Christmas Decor Storage

December 29, 2021 by thevettelfarm

When you are on the verge of "hoarder" status in regards to Christmas decorations, organization is powerful. Each year putting up my Christmas decor is a small part time job and putting it away is no different. But, when your decor is organized it can make the process so much easier! Most of my Christmas decor is also vintage, so packing it away safely is also an important concern each year. Here are a few of my tips that I use to keep our Christmas decor organized and safe. 1. Clear Totes These clear totes by Sterilite are my absolute favorite. I love the red and green ones for the holidays but any color will do. The fact that they are clear enables me the ability to easily see what ...

Vintage Inspired Christmas Trees

November 14, 2021 by thevettelfarm

The magic of Christmas always begins with the Christmas tree. There is something so special and nostalgic about the Christmas trees of the past. They were bursting with color, sparkle and so much class. Aluminum trees remain my favorite of all vintage Christmas trees. They have such a unique shape and when paired with vintage ornaments, the combination is unbeatable. True vintage trees can be tricky to find and very expensive during the holiday months. Thankfully there are so many wonderful vintage inspired options to choose from in stores today. I love to mix vintage and new for a unique look in our Christmas spaces. Here are a few of my favorite vintage inspired Christmas trees this ...

This is what nostalgia looks like in red, white, a This is what nostalgia looks like in red, white, and blue. 🇺🇸 An antique carousel horse, weathered crocks, and American flags waving in the summer breeze.

Maybe that’s why we love old things. They remind us of county fairs, Main Streets, front porch conversations, and summers that seemed to last forever. Not because the past was perfect, but because these treasures help us hold on to the memories that matter most.

Here’s to preserving history, celebrating Americana, and finding beauty in the stories that came before us. ❤️🤍💙

Happy Memorial Day! 🇺🇸 AI images are starting to r Happy Memorial Day! 🇺🇸 AI images are starting to really get me down,  so here are a few real collections, faded colors, timeworn details, and the kind of nostalgia that can’t be generated by a prompt. Every flag, crockery, rusty sign, and patriotic trinket carries a little piece of history with it.

Americana was never meant to be perfect. It was meant to be lived in. 🇺🇸
