May 23, 2023 by thevettelfarm

Packing the perfect picnic entails three elements; good food, a good blanket, and a good basket. Using vintage elements for your picnic takes your picnic to another level of sophistication. The girls and I decided we wanted to create a bucket list of sorts for the summer and going on a picnic was at the top of our list! So let's walk through the elements of the perfect "vintage style" picnic, so that you can add this to your bucket list for the summer too. Good Food Food is the central showpiece of every great picnic, so it deserves time and attention. We have been using the Wildgrain themed  subscription service to get the best artisanal breads, pastas, and pastries delivered to us ...

Motherhood has been one of the most rewarding acco Motherhood has been one of the most rewarding accomplishments of my life… sticky hands wrapped around mine, the car rides, muddy boots by the door, and laughter echoing through our home long after the day is done.

My children are the reason ordinary days became the sweetest memories. They’ve filled my life with purpose and a kind of love that changes you forever.

Someday, I hope they remember the way home felt, warm cookies cooling on the counter, holiday magic, vintage treasures scattered about, and a Mom who loved them with her whole heart.

Being your mom is my favorite story I’ll ever tell. 🤍

Happy Mother’s Day to the women preserving memories, creating magic from ordinary moments, and loving deeply through every season. ❤️🍀🐣🇺🇸🎃🦃🎄

Soft whites, gathered lavender, weathered details, Soft whites, gathered lavender, weathered details, and vintage pieces that feel like they’ve lived a hundred beautiful summers before finding their way here. This collection was inspired by slow garden mornings (which start very soon here for us in North Dakota). 🪻

This morning’s Etsy restock is filled with handpicked treasures ready for a new home and a new story. McCoy pottery, ironstone, garden decor, it’s all here! 

The garden gates are open… and every piece is waiting for someone who loves a little vintage romance as much as I do.

Unfortunate UPDATE - it did in fact work for ten m Unfortunate UPDATE - it did in fact work for ten minutes but then proceeded to play static over the movie 🫩 BUT per my research, the tape heads inside are dirty and I need to run a VHS cleaning tape through the TV. So two different cleaning VHS tapes will be arriving on Thursday and I will have an update for you, hopefully a good one so we can watch more Fried Green Tomatoes! 🍅

And before you ask, I did in fact use the tracking buttons to try and fix it, I surprisingly remembered how to do that, but it didn’t work. 🫠
