Architectural Salvage Garden Tool Rack

April 17, 2023 by thevettelfarm

I have a small collection of antique green handled garden tools that I love to display and use. I have always wanted to display them on the outside of my garden shed and I knew I needed a rack that would live up to their vintage splendor. Using a piece of architectural salvage is a great way to showcase this unique collection that you can see below.

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 ...

Attention, Christmas shoppers! The toy department Attention, Christmas shoppers! The toy department is looking especially merry. 🎄✨

Vintage toy trucks, dollhouses, and little barns have been dressed for the season with vintage Santas, reindeer, and a little North Pole magic. Each one feels like a tiny Christmas window display, the kind you’d stop to admire with your nose pressed to the glass.

Find a little Christmas nostalgia for your home in my Etsy shop. Tap the link in my bio to shop the toy department to add a little vintage Christmas whimsy to your holiday this year! 🎄
Nobody does Christmas nostalgia quite like Macy’s. Nobody does Christmas nostalgia quite like Macy’s. ✨

The wooden escalators, the vintage shop, the twinkling displays, the feeling that you might just run into Santa around the next corner. 🎄

I’ve always loved the days when Christmas shopping was an occasion. I miss a good department store so much! 🥹 The decorated windows, the bustling frenzy, a whole afternoon spent choosing something special. Walking through Macy’s on 34th Street feels like catching a little piece of that magic truly. It was one of my favorite adventures yesterday. 

Highly recommend if you are in New York City this holiday season! 🎄

A little fluffing, a little Christmas magic, and t A little fluffing, a little Christmas magic, and the season begins! 🎄✨ In partnership with @balsamhill 🎄I’m sharing my five favorite tips for getting your faux tree holiday-ready:

✨ Start with a clean, clear space.
✨ Wear gloves to protect your hands while fluffing.
✨ Fluff as you build, shaping each section before adding the next.
✨ Choose a pre-lit tree for easy setup and an even glow. This Sugarland Spruce has clear candlelight lights! 
✨ Invest in quality for a tree you’ll look forward to bringing out year after year. @balsamhill has so many wonderful options when it comes to quality! 

We’re officially #ReadyForTheHolidays—and ready to bring out the ornaments! ❤️ #BalsamHillPartner
