Rhubarbecue Sauce

June 4, 2020 by thevettelfarm

I have seen so many scrumptious desserts made with big chunks of rhubarb, but they just do not speak to me. I am not much of a pie person or one to eat cooked fruit, so I am continually looking for new ways to use rhubarb.

My two and five year old ...

This little garden planter is pieced together from broken vintage glassware and finished with stamped silverware tucked in like tiny heirlooms. Every crack, every pattern, every piece tells a story and now they’re all growing something new together.

A reminder that even the most delicate things can be remade into something beautiful again ✨

This may be one of my top favorite wreaths of all This may be one of my top favorite wreaths of all time. I find these exquisite oval, antique frames often and they are such a simple way to create a beautiful entrance at your front door. I use a small amount of floral wire to affix faux florals and a mini bird’s nest for Spring.

I think it would be fun to redesign this one for summer with lots of red, white, and blue! 🇺🇸
