This or That – Easter Basket Edition

March 23, 2023 by thevettelfarm

It is amazing how when you look closely at a new product, its roots are deeply grounded in vintage products. Which makes it no surprise that vintage inspired items are highly sought after today. Unlike their vintage counterparts, these newer vintage inspired products may lack the original character and often have a much lower price point. I love to compare the two side by side, so I started this segment, where each week I share different vintage inspired products and their vintage counterpart for you to choose which is your favorite! If you see a product you are interested in you can shop each picture! Here is an example of a vintage inspired product and it's original vintage (or sometimes ...

Vintage Inspired Enamelware

June 24, 2022 by thevettelfarm

When we moved from New York to South Dakota, there were many items that we left behind. One of those items that made the trek was my Mom's antique enamelware lobster pot. It is a beautiful hue of turquoise and it makes the perfect lobster every time. Enamelware screams summer, the patterns, the colors all lend themself to a sweet, summer night. Last week, I shared a few different ways to style enamelware, so this week I'm going to share a few favorite pieces that you can incorporate into your home! Vintage enamelware can be easy to find, but if you are looking for something a little less expensive there are so many wonderful vintage inspired enamelware pieces on the market. As we plan for ...

Vintage Inspired Spice Drawer

January 13, 2022 by thevettelfarm

The New Year is that special time when we all have the urge to ORGANIZE, or at least I do! Each year I break down areas in our house and tackle small spaces with quick organizational projects. A few years ago I took on this spice drawer and I can not tell you how happy it makes me feel every time I open that drawer. I can easily see every spice and the jar labeling I used is so darn cute. Now I know that everything in our house can not be vintage, but if I can incorporate some vintage inspired style I am going to try. These mini Ball canning spice jars are so adorable and the perfect size for all your spices. I love the look of the embossed labels too. The Dymo label maker uses all ...

When I tell you I dragged my feet on this project When I tell you I dragged my feet on this project forever,  I truly did. I could not wrap my brain around how to get the back off of a watch, but it is so darn easy! This project literally took me 10 minutes. 

So a few notes, to take the back off of a watch,it’s very simple. You’re going to put a small amount of hot glue on the back of the watch and then glue on a wooden pencil. Let it dry then you’re going to simply twist and it will pop right off. When you’re ready to put the back on the watch, simply peel the glue off and pop it back on.

The other gadget that made this project so simple was the Polaroid printer that I have. I simply took a picture of an existing picture, printed it, and then cut it out by tracing the back of the watch.

The photo itself slips right in front of the watch mechanism so you don’t even have to take anything out if you wanted to keep the watch itself intact. 

I chose to do my mom and both of my grandma’s and I cannot tell you how happy this project makes me feel to see their smiling faces. 💗💗💗💗

Comment PRINTER and I’ll send you the link of the Polaroid printer that I used! Don’t forget to look at that jewelry table at the next garage sale you’re at for those fancy vintage watches!
