Christmas Home Tour 2022

December 24, 2022 by thevettelfarm

I feel like I am living in my own real life Groundhog Day movie feature. This is the third time we have been snowed in this Fall and we have had to cancel lots of plans. I hope sharing my Christmas spaces brings you joy as the country embarks on this nasty snow storm and cold temperatures in the next few days. Christmas Family Room The real centerpiece of the family room this year is the Santa wall. I rounded up all of my vintage Santas and put them along one wall in our family room. I used various cubbies and crocks to showcase them all in a whimsical way! Can you really have too many Santas?  The vintage ones are just so charming! I wanted to keep the fireplace more simple this ...

Vintage Inspired Christmas Trees

November 14, 2021 by thevettelfarm

The magic of Christmas always begins with the Christmas tree. There is something so special and nostalgic about the Christmas trees of the past. They were bursting with color, sparkle and so much class. Aluminum trees remain my favorite of all vintage Christmas trees. They have such a unique shape and when paired with vintage ornaments, the combination is unbeatable. True vintage trees can be tricky to find and very expensive during the holiday months. Thankfully there are so many wonderful vintage inspired options to choose from in stores today. I love to mix vintage and new for a unique look in our Christmas spaces. Here are a few of my favorite vintage inspired Christmas trees this ...

We had a fun, final day at Brimfield today with a We had a fun, final day at Brimfield today with a few really neat finds but one very special one. There is SO MUCH jewelry at Brimfield, so naturally I wanted to bring home a few pieces for my girls. I stumbled upon a schnauzer pin. Since I’ve had three very special schnauzer pups in my life, I knew I had to have it. When I turned it over, I thought I was seeing things, my name, Courtney, was engraved on the back. 🥹🥹🥹 

Some treasures are just meant to be…..

I’ve had lots of questions about prices and in my honest opinion I think if you take the time to shop around, you will find deals! There are some places that are a little more expensive, but most vendors are very willing to negotiate. ❤️🎄❤️🎄
