Pack the Perfect “Vintage Style” Picnic

May 23, 2023 by thevettelfarm

Packing the perfect picnic entails three elements; good food, a good blanket, and a good basket. Using vintage elements for your picnic takes your picnic to another level of sophistication. The girls and I decided we wanted to create a bucket list of sorts for the summer and going on a picnic was at the top of our list! So let's walk through the elements of the perfect "vintage style" picnic, so that you can add this to your bucket list for the summer too. Good Food Food is the central showpiece of every great picnic, so it deserves time and attention. We have been using the Wildgrain themed  subscription service to get the best artisanal breads, pastas, and pastries delivered to us ...

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 ...

Hearth & Hand Vintage Inspired Christmas Finds 2021

October 10, 2021 by thevettelfarm

It's finally that time of year, where all the new holiday decor is coming out! One of my favorite brands comes from the one and only, Joanna Gaines with the Hearth & Hand collection from Target. This year's collection has so many great items that lend a nostalgic, vintage feel. I like to add in new elements each year that pair perfectly with the real deal vintage style Christmas treasures. All of these items are available now (I have my eye on a few that come out later in October too) and you better shop quickly, because these items will go fast this year! I hope you like these vintage inspired items that I chose and that you too will choose a few to add to your home this year for ...

Attention, Christmas shoppers! The toy department Attention, Christmas shoppers! The toy department is looking especially merry. 🎄✨

Vintage toy trucks, dollhouses, and little barns have been dressed for the season with vintage Santas, reindeer, and a little North Pole magic. Each one feels like a tiny Christmas window display, the kind you’d stop to admire with your nose pressed to the glass.

Find a little Christmas nostalgia for your home in my Etsy shop. Tap the link in my bio to shop the toy department to add a little vintage Christmas whimsy to your holiday this year! 🎄
Nobody does Christmas nostalgia quite like Macy’s. Nobody does Christmas nostalgia quite like Macy’s. ✨

The wooden escalators, the vintage shop, the twinkling displays, the feeling that you might just run into Santa around the next corner. 🎄

I’ve always loved the days when Christmas shopping was an occasion. I miss a good department store so much! 🥹 The decorated windows, the bustling frenzy, a whole afternoon spent choosing something special. Walking through Macy’s on 34th Street feels like catching a little piece of that magic truly. It was one of my favorite adventures yesterday. 

Highly recommend if you are in New York City this holiday season! 🎄

A little fluffing, a little Christmas magic, and t A little fluffing, a little Christmas magic, and the season begins! 🎄✨ In partnership with @balsamhill 🎄I’m sharing my five favorite tips for getting your faux tree holiday-ready:

✨ Start with a clean, clear space.
✨ Wear gloves to protect your hands while fluffing.
✨ Fluff as you build, shaping each section before adding the next.
✨ Choose a pre-lit tree for easy setup and an even glow. This Sugarland Spruce has clear candlelight lights! 
✨ Invest in quality for a tree you’ll look forward to bringing out year after year. @balsamhill has so many wonderful options when it comes to quality! 

We’re officially #ReadyForTheHolidays—and ready to bring out the ornaments! ❤️ #BalsamHillPartner
