Chicken Jadeite

April 25, 2022 by thevettelfarm

Can you all hear that glorious sound in the distance? It's that of a quirky rooster sounding his alarm for you to start the day! It is the quintessential sound of a farm. Two years ago we became chicken owners and it has been a fun experience for our entire family. At The Vettel Farm we not only have chickens outside, but I love to incorporate them into our decor for the summer months, especially in the form of jadeite! Most jadeite chickens are reproduction in nature, meaning they were not made by the big three vintage jadeite production companies; McKee, Jeanette, & Anchor Hocking Fireking.

Three Things Thursday

August 5, 2021 by thevettelfarm

My first favorite thing from this week is this awesome Ruggable rug that we just put in the living room. It is the softest rug we have ever had and even better, it's washable. I can sleep easy knowing that those toddler stains are just a thing of the past. I chose this color because I wanted something really moody for Fall and Halloween and these colors lend the perfect neutral tone! It's called the Verena Dark Wood rug and you will be seeing lots of her this fall in our great room. Click here to purchase one for yourself! I am a Pioneer Woman junkie, so I was so excited to see that she has a new cookbook coming out this Fall! It's titled The Pioneer Woman Cooks - Super Easy and you ...

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
