Vintage Inspired Spice Drawer

January 13, 2022 by thevettelfarm

The New Year is that special time when we all have the urge to ORGANIZE, or at least I do! Each year I break down areas in our house and tackle small spaces with quick organizational projects. A few years ago I took on this spice drawer and I can not tell you how happy it makes me feel every time I open that drawer. I can easily see every spice and the jar labeling I used is so darn cute. Now I know that everything in our house can not be vintage, but if I can incorporate some vintage inspired style I am going to try. These mini Ball canning spice jars are so adorable and the perfect size for all your spices. I love the look of the embossed labels too. The Dymo label maker uses all ...

Pantry Organization Tips

January 4, 2022 by thevettelfarm

Our pantry is really the heart of our kitchen. We have a tiny kitchen, so having an organized pantry is essential! It seems like after the holidays our pantry is quite used and abused, so a reset in January is always a must. Here are a few of my favorite tips to keep your pantry organized, while also adding in some fun, funky vintage flair! 1. Invest in quality storage containers I can not tell you how helpful these containers are to keep a tidy pantry. They are an initial investment, but they truly do last a lifetime. I am partial to the OXO brand to keep everything fresh with their lock top.I linked up my favorite styles and sizes at the bottom of this blog post. 2. Label in ...

An oldie but a goodie! These washtub planters are An oldie but a goodie! These washtub planters are by far my FAVORITE to use for planters. When you stack them, they become even more magical! ✨✨

A few tips: 
☀️Make sure to add drainage holes
☀️It gets quite heavy once filled with dirt, so make sure to assemble in place
☀️Hunt for varying sizes to create dimension

The scallop detail on this vintage garden fence is The scallop detail on this vintage garden fence is “chef’s kiss” 💋 so naturally I had to find something fun to create with it. A cloche it is! 

I cut a section to fit the column round that I had at home. I used wire to affix the section in a round shape. I used the fence section upside down so the scallops were on the bottom. Then I bent the wires on top to the center and weaved a wire through them. Then I bent the tops to go around the wire in a funky pattern.

Definitely not your typical cloche but absolutely vintage garden chic! 🪴

Did you know you can display flowers in books? Vin Did you know you can display flowers in books? Vintage books are best. 😉 Here’s a little red, white and blue spin on this easy craft, perfect for any season really. 

Find the center of your book. Roll pages to the center to create “pleats”. Tuck faux florals into the pleats or stand your book up and tuck into the top of the pleats!

Jam-o-Rita
Add ice to your jam jar. Shoot for 1 T. of remaining jam in the jar. Add in 1 shot of tequila, lime juice and a few splashes of margarita mix of sparkling water. Shake! I like to rim the jar after this step with lime juice and salt. Enjoy! 🍋‍🟩

P.S. Any type of jam will work!

If you don’t have yardsticks, the vintage folding rulers work great for stars too! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
