The Vettel Farm

DIY, Home Decor, & Lifestyle blog

Three Things Thursday

August 5, 2021 by thevettelfarm

My first favorite thing from this week is this awesome Ruggable rug that we just put in the living room. It is the softest rug we have ever had and even better, it’s washable. I can sleep easy knowing that those toddler stains are just a thing of the past. I chose this color because I wanted something really moody for Fall and Halloween and these colors lend the perfect neutral tone! It’s called the Verena Dark Wood rug and you will be seeing lots of her this fall in our great room.

I am a Pioneer Woman junkie, so I was so excited to see that she has a new cookbook coming out this Fall! It’s titled The Pioneer Woman Cooks – Super Easy and you can find it here for pre-order. I can’t tell you how excited I am for a cookbook full of easy meals for the busy upcoming school year. Last year before the start of school I made a bunch of freezer meals that were so handy (click here to see them all). I am working hard rounding up a few new freezer meal recipes for this year, which I should have a post out in the next two weeks! School is 20 days away for us, where did the summer go!

 

I also wanted to take a moment to share one of my favorite accounts on Instagram, @ottercreekbottoms. Trista shares #OCBteachingtuesday each week all centered on jadeite. She shares a wealth of information on vintage jadeite and collecting. I have a lot of jadeite but I always feel like there is more to learn about it all and how to identify it. If you are a jadeite loving gal – you will love her account!

We are off to my sister’s wedding in the Teton Mountains this weekend, so I hope to have lots of beautiful mountain photos for you real soon!

Last summer I lost so many vintage Christmas ornam Last summer I lost so many vintage Christmas ornaments in a freak flood in the lower part of our crawl space. When I tell you it was so depressing to see so many ornaments covered in mold and all of the color peeling off of them, it was bad 😞 

But yesterday I found the most magical collection at an estate sale. The entire basement was Christmas, it was like a dream. I am so thankful to have found these and I will definitely cherish them! Cheers to halfway to Christmas! πŸŽ„β€οΈπŸ’šβ€οΈπŸ’šπŸŽ„
