January 31, 2022 by thevettelfarm

I just can't stop with how adorable all of these vintage valentines are, so I came up with five MORE ways to display them! Many of you asked where to find vintage valentines and the simple answer is, EVERYWHERE! I find them at garage sales, antique shops, online, and auctions. If you can't find them in your area, this vintage valentine book is a wonderful option. 1. Collage I found an adorable scrapbook at an auction of someone's keepsake valentines. They were the perfect base for these collages. These frames make this project so simple. Take your valentines and arrange them into the matte frame. I did not affix them, but just simply used the glass to keep them in place. Such a fun way to ...

ONE | TWO | THREE | FOUR | FIVE | SIX | SEVEN 1. Can you ever have too many Valentine's Day pillows? This one is super cute because of the knit detail on each heart. It is the perfect blend of winter cozy and Valentine's Day. 2. I am styling a fun Valentine's Day bar cart this year and this pom-pom garland will be just what it needs to sparkle.

The Vintage Hunt – February Edition

February 1, 2021 by thevettelfarm

February is on of my favorite months (a close second behind September). It's my birthday month, the month of LOVE, and typically the time of year we take a little vacay! I am an avid Valentine's Day decorator, so many of these pieces center around the day all about LOVE! Keep your eyes peeled for these sweet vintage items! Mailboxes When I bought this mailbox I never imagined all the joy it would bring our home. I love to use this mailbox for Valentine's day, stuffing it full of beautiful blooms or vintage letters.

I turned a collection of vintage watches into something they were always meant to hold, a story. Each tiny face now carries a photo of my Mom or my Grandmas, like little time capsules I can wear all the time. 

Because time doesn’t just pass… it becomes us.
And this Mother’s Day, I wanted to give something that says you’re with me in every second.

A gift made of seconds, memories, and the women who shaped mine.

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! 🇺🇸
