Spring Living Room

March 16, 2022 by thevettelfarm

    Topiaries | Moss Bunnies | Butterflies | Bust Planter | Moss Ball | Moss Bunnies Set of 3 | Garland | Birch Cloche | Rug | Tulips Spring was in the air today, it was 65 degrees in North Dakota! Our family room is decked to the nines in bright springtime tones and lush greenery, I mean faux greenery. For our mantle this year I decided to do a "moss" theme inspired by all the fun moss bunnies I have been finding lately. We got a new rug in our living room space and I think this is my all time favorite! The colors are just perfect, neutral but a faint hint of green. The crowning jewel of the room is the faux tulips that took center stage. I use these all spring ...

Vintage Lamp Base DIY Candle Holders

March 4, 2022 by thevettelfarm

Vintage lamps are always so unique and quirky. They have been on the top of my thrifting list lately because of all the fun up-cycles you can create with them. Today I am going to share two easy up-cycles for a pair of milk glass thrifted lamps I found recently. These lamps would be entirely perfect on their own as lamps, but if you aren't in the market for lamps, they can make the perfect cloche base or even pair of candle holders. This DIY was so very simple, anyone can do it! Supplies vintage lamp(s) nut & bolt cloche candles hot glue (optional) Directions Unscrew the mechanical parts of the lamp. Most lamps unscrew in many different pieces. You can ...

The Vintage Hunt – March Edition

March 17, 2021 by thevettelfarm

March has flown by! March for many is a time to start thinking about Spring, but for us North Dakotans Spring is oftentimes still a few weeks away! Nonetheless, I still start to dream about spring by adding in fun elements of spring decor. And let's not forget the great holiday of St. Patrick's Day! I am very Irish, so this is often a holiday I don't forget! Here are a few items to add to your hunting list. I am patiently counting down the days until I get to start my garage sale sprees and flea market trips! Garden Tools Garden tools have so much wonderful character. Just the sight of them gets me excited for the blooming garden on the horizon. I love to bring these tools inside ...

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! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Gardening can be SO MUCH WORK in the beginning bu Gardening can be  SO MUCH WORK in the beginning but it is truly worth the work in the end. 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. ❤️🚲❤️
