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 ...

There’s just something about an all-American state There’s just something about an all-American state fair… 🇺🇸🎡 The glow of carnival lights, striped awnings fluttering in the summer breeze, pie tins cooling beside blue ribbon quilts, and vintage treasures that feel stitched into the story of summer itself.

Don’t miss the @weatheredwhitebarn Summer sign sale this Friday, May 15th at 9am MST on her website! A portion of the profits will go to the Wounded Warrior Project! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

This little collection feels like a walk through the fairgrounds at golden hour, where every corner smells like lemonade and kettle corn, every song sounds a little nostalgic, and every piece carries that timeless red, white, and blue magic.✨✨

Vintage Americana will always feel like home to me. ❤️🤍💙

Maybe it’s the years of thrifting and collecting, Maybe it’s the years of thrifting and collecting, but I can’t look at the simplest objects without imagining what they could become. This little terracotta saucer started as an ordinary garden piece and ended as a cloche that feels like it belongs in an old weathered greenhouse. ✨

I love projects like this because they remind me that beauty doesn’t always have to be expensive or complicated. Sometimes it’s just seeing ordinary things in a different lens. ✨

Motherhood has been one of the most rewarding acco Motherhood has been one of the most rewarding accomplishments of my life… sticky hands wrapped around mine, the car rides, muddy boots by the door, and laughter echoing through our home long after the day is done.

My children are the reason ordinary days became the sweetest memories. They’ve filled my life with purpose and a kind of love that changes you forever.

Someday, I hope they remember the way home felt, warm cookies cooling on the counter, holiday magic, vintage treasures scattered about, and a Mom who loved them with her whole heart.

Being your mom is my favorite story I’ll ever tell. 🤍

Happy Mother’s Day to the women preserving memories, creating magic from ordinary moments, and loving deeply through every season. ❤️🍀🐣🇺🇸🎃🦃🎄

Soft whites, gathered lavender, weathered details, Soft whites, gathered lavender, weathered details, and vintage pieces that feel like they’ve lived a hundred beautiful summers before finding their way here. This collection was inspired by slow garden mornings (which start very soon here for us in North Dakota). 🪻

This morning’s Etsy restock is filled with handpicked treasures ready for a new home and a new story. McCoy pottery, ironstone, garden decor, it’s all here! 

The garden gates are open… and every piece is waiting for someone who loves a little vintage romance as much as I do.

Unfortunate UPDATE - it did in fact work for ten m Unfortunate UPDATE - it did in fact work for ten minutes but then proceeded to play static over the movie 🫩 BUT per my research, the tape heads inside are dirty and I need to run a VHS cleaning tape through the TV. So two different cleaning VHS tapes will be arriving on Thursday and I will have an update for you, hopefully a good one so we can watch more Fried Green Tomatoes! 🍅

And before you ask, I did in fact use the tracking buttons to try and fix it, I surprisingly remembered how to do that, but it didn’t work. 🫠
