State Fair Lemonade

July 27, 2022 by thevettelfarm

Every state fair we attend I make a B-line to the lemonade stand. There is nothing that compares to that savory big cup of lemonade full of chunky lemons and the absolute best lemonade ever.

This sweet little cookbook titled" Today....what salad...what dessert? JELLO brings DOZENS of answers....." is from 1928. Let me tell you, there are some interesting recipes in this little paper cookbook! The best one (and most disgusting) was Tuna Fish Salad - just the thought of Jello and Tuna - yuck! Thankfully this recipe has all the right ingredients - sugar, cream, jello, marshmallows and strawberries! It was super easy and I would highly recommend for any beginner jello chef. It was also super ...

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…..

Day 2 of Brimfield started with an epic box full o Day 2 of Brimfield started with an epic box full of vintage Christmas! 🎄 One of my items I really wanted to find was a Christmas department store sign and we found just the one! It was another great day, I’m looking forward to day 3 today! 🎄❤️🎄❤️🎄

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. ❤️🎄❤️🎄

She waited nearly 100 years for a fall makeover li She waited nearly 100 years for a fall makeover like this. 🍂🏫 #ad With the help of @balsamhill she won’t have to wait any longer! 

Using the Autumn Abundance arrangements I was able to add the most adorable window “planters” to the schoolhouse. Paired with the amazing Autumn Abundance wreath and my trusty Sunset faux mums, that last year after year, I would say she is ready for crisp mornings and sweet autumn days. 🍂
