Target Winter Finds 2023

December 26, 2022 by thevettelfarm

It is so bizarre to be typing 2023 already, but it's that time of year to charge forward into the new year. There is something so rewarding about bringing out all the stops for holiday decorating, but then starting fresh in the new year. This year for my winter decor I will be incorporating more wood tones, brass, shades of deep green and blue. I love to add a few new pieces as a base to start the season. In doing this it offers a clean slate to incorporate and mix-in vintage elements and it really helps those classic pieces shine. I absolutely love the mix of brass and warm wood tones for winter. I think the shimmer adds such a beautiful, cozy glow. I have been seeing lots of the ...

The Vintage Hunt – January Edition

January 5, 2021 by thevettelfarm

I met a follower this Fall that literally said to me, "I'm hunting here at this flea market asking myself what would Courtney buy!" So I thought it would be fun to put together a list each month of items that you may want to add to your hunt list as you venture out to garage sales, flea markets, estate sales, and antique shops. This month's list centers around winter decor - winter greens, bright whites, and cozy textures. After the holidays it can be a little disheartening to put away all the Christmas charm, so these pieces are critical to keeping our spirits bright in January. 1. Sleds I'm starting with my favorite of the entire list! I love to pick up vintage sleds ...

This is what nostalgia looks like in red, white, a This is what nostalgia looks like in red, white, and blue. 🇺🇸 An antique carousel horse, weathered crocks, and American flags waving in the summer breeze.

Maybe that’s why we love old things. They remind us of county fairs, Main Streets, front porch conversations, and summers that seemed to last forever. Not because the past was perfect, but because these treasures help us hold on to the memories that matter most.

Here’s to preserving history, celebrating Americana, and finding beauty in the stories that came before us. ❤️🤍💙

Happy Memorial Day! 🇺🇸 AI images are starting to r Happy Memorial Day! 🇺🇸 AI images are starting to really get me down,  so here are a few real collections, faded colors, timeworn details, and the kind of nostalgia that can’t be generated by a prompt. Every flag, crockery, rusty sign, and patriotic trinket carries a little piece of history with it.

Americana was never meant to be perfect. It was meant to be lived in. 🇺🇸

I find vintage books all the time, so I’m always l I find vintage books all the time, so I’m always looking for unique ways to use them and display them. For this DIY, I rolled the pages of vintage books into delicate little holders for faux florals, turning worn paper and timeworn pages into something full of charm.

Sometimes the loveliest décor comes from the things people overlook at antique stores and thrift shops. A faded book. A little imagination. These would be fantastic for any season, wouldn’t they be magical for Christmas?!?!
