Terracotta DIY Bunnies

March 15, 2023 by thevettelfarm

Remember those viral terracotta pumpkins from this past fall that EVERYONE was making? Well it's almost Spring, so that means we need some terracotta bunnies! This project is so simple and satisfying. It's the perfect way to upcycle a few thrifted bunnies or bunnies that have lost their style over the years. They lend the perfect garden nod to any spring display! For supplies I like to use a combination of different acrylic paint colors to achieve the perfect terracotta color. My three favorites are Folkart Terra Cotta - Dusty Trail, Delta Cermacoat - Terra Cotta, and Apple Barrel - Chesnut. You will also need a small paint brush, corn starch and a paper towel. You can use any type of ...

Spring Living Room

March 16, 2022 by thevettelfarm

    Topiaries | Moss Bunnies | Butterflies | Bust Planter | Moss Ball | Moss Bunnies Set of 3 | Garland | Birch Cloche | Rug | Tulips Spring was in the air today, it was 65 degrees in North Dakota! Our family room is decked to the nines in bright springtime tones and lush greenery, I mean faux greenery. For our mantle this year I decided to do a "moss" theme inspired by all the fun moss bunnies I have been finding lately. We got a new rug in our living room space and I think this is my all time favorite! The colors are just perfect, neutral but a faint hint of green. The crowning jewel of the room is the faux tulips that took center stage. I use these all spring ...

Spring Target Finds

February 16, 2022 by thevettelfarm

February can be quite blustery in North Dakota, so the thought of Spring is a bright light in the depths of winter. I am loving some of the sweet, new Spring decor items from Target recently. I rounded up a few of my favorites. Several are great staple decor pieces, several are great Easter decor pieces, and they are all guaranteed to get you in the mood for Spring! I will be sprinkling in little bits of Spring over the next few weeks, these will all be great additions to my springtime decor. Click the photo to shop! And if you are lucky enough to live near a Target (mine is 2 hours away) then run on over to the dollar spot to find these adorable topiaries and wooden bunnies ...

Collecting Delphite

April 8, 2021 by thevettelfarm

Many of you know that my one true love collectible is jadeite, but have you ever met Jadeite's sister Delphite? It's funny to say that because my youngest sister is actually the one who started this delphite collection. I wanted to share a little about Delphite with you because when I shared this last year, there were SO many questions and I had a lot to learn. Delphite was actually produced during the same time as jadeite, it even sold for the same price during the depression era. Long before the jadeite craze, delphite was a hot collection item too. Delphite was produced in much smaller quantities, hence making it more expensive and harder to find today. One of my favorite brands of ...

The Vintage Hunt – March Edition

March 17, 2021 by thevettelfarm

March has flown by! March for many is a time to start thinking about Spring, but for us North Dakotans Spring is oftentimes still a few weeks away!

I am very Irish, so this is often a holiday I don't forget! Here are a few items to add to your hunting list. I am patiently counting down the days until I get to start my garage sale sprees and flea market trips! Garden Tools Garden tools have so much wonderful character.

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. 🇺🇸
