Vintage Easter Desserts Inspired by Vintage Advertisements

April 14, 2025 by thevettelfarm

Scrolling Pinterest one day I came across the most adorable vintage Easter advertisements. They were mostly desserts and they all had darling graphics. Each of the recipes were quite unusual, or I should say not the norm. I find it so interesting how trends in recipes have evolved throughout the years. I made it my mission to try a few of these unique retro recipes and here is how it went! Jello Pudding Pie On this ad, you will notice a few different recipes. I focused on the Easter Sunday Pie because that looked the most delectable for Easter. I made the mistake of purchasing instant pudding, but this was really a blessing in disguise. The instant pudding was so easy to make and just ...

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. Unlike their vintage counterparts, these newer vintage inspired products may lack the original character and often have a much lower price point. I love to compare the two side by side, so I started this segment, where each week I share different vintage inspired products and their vintage counterpart for you to choose which is your favorite! If you see a product you are interested in you can shop each picture! Here is an example of a vintage inspired product and it's original vintage (or sometimes ...

Vintage Easter Wreath DIY

February 22, 2022 by thevettelfarm

Last year I fell in love with a vintage Easter wreath that was chalk full of adorable vintage Easter trinkets. The colors were so vibrant and it was such a charming arrangement of sweet little Easter baubles. I made it my mission to start hunting for these small Easter collectibles to create my own wreath and the process was very simple. Vintage Easter items can be slightly more difficult to find and on the more expensive side, so I did incorporate some vintage reproduction pieces into the wreath. Overall I love the arrangement and all the cheerful colors, it just screams SPRING! Supplies Foam Wreath Form Iridescent Tinsel Garland (I used this garland) Vintage Style Easter ...

Spring Target Finds

February 16, 2022 by thevettelfarm

February can be quite blustery in North Dakota, so the thought of Spring is a bright light in the depths of winter. I am loving some of the sweet, new Spring decor items from Target recently. I rounded up a few of my favorites. Several are great staple decor pieces, several are great Easter decor pieces, and they are all guaranteed to get you in the mood for Spring! I will be sprinkling in little bits of Spring over the next few weeks, these will all be great additions to my springtime decor. Click the photo to shop! And if you are lucky enough to live near a Target (mine is 2 hours away) then run on over to the dollar spot to find these adorable topiaries and wooden bunnies ...

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. 🇺🇸

There’s something special about giving old pieces a new purpose while preserving the stories they carry. These rackets have likely seen countless matches, and now they get to celebrate the 250th birthday of America! 🇺🇸

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