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. Last Spring I went to a really fun garage sale for a couple that was getting out of the antique business. They had so many neat items and they were ready for it all to go to a good home. I bought a huge lot of great items and actually went back to the sale at the end of the day and they stuffed my car full of more treasures! One of those ...

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 ...

It started with a mushroom set and somehow an enti It started with a mushroom set and somehow an entire spooky woodland Halloween mantel followed. 🍄 #ad There’s something about the @balsamhill Mossy Woodland Mushroom Set that feels like it belongs in a forgotten little spooky forest. They are so realistic and the perfect set to spark your Fall decorating! 

I wanted this mantel to feel earthly, collected, a little mysterious, and just spooky enough. Think vintage storybook meets enchanted forest after dark. And these mushrooms became the piece that inspired all of it. 🍄

The Mossy Woodland Mushroom Set is such an easy piece to carry from early fall straight through Halloween and honestly, I think I’ll be finding excuses to style these long after autumn. Use code COURTNEYV50FALL to get $50 off orders $250 or more! Check out the link in my bio to shop! 

Would you go spooky woodland for Halloween?

The first day of school is always so special, so w The first day of school is always so special, so why not celebrate it BIG! 📚✂️✏️ We had our meet the teacher night last night and the kiddos are so excited to head back to school next week! 

So we’re bringing back the kind of first day of school worth remembering with @mymindseyeinc 🍎 One that feels a little slower, a little sweeter, and maybe even a little like stepping into an old schoolhouse photograph.

Because someday, these will be the “good old days” they look back on. Here’s to new teachers, new friends, new adventures…and making the first day feel just as special as it deserves to be. 🍎
