The Vettel Farm

DIY, Home Decor, & Lifestyle blog

Three Things Thursday

July 22, 2021 by thevettelfarm

I thought it would be fun to start sharing a few things that I am loving each week. They may range from new books I am reading, the latest vintage inspired decor piece or even just a wonderful Instagram account I have been loving lately. So let’s kickoff Friday eve with a few things I have been loving!

  1. Finding Freedom – this is the new book by Erin French. I have always been obsessed with her restaurant in Maine and am patiently waiting for my trip to Maine someday to visit her gorgeous place. She has a very unique story and this book details all of her hardships and how she got to where she is today! She also has a series on the new Discovery network that is so captivating to watch.
  2. Wax Seals – I’m not sure about you but I have been ogling over the most amazing wax seals on Instagram lately. Honestly it makes me want to pick up a pen and write a letter to my friends and family. It seems so sad that letter writing is such a lost art, but when you receive a letter it is such an amazing treasure. My friend Melissa at @melissima.byma and @jadeitejunkie sent me the most beautiful letter with the most stunning jadeite colored wax seal. She uses vintage wax seal stamps and they each carry so much meaning, definitely check her out! You can even get jadeite inspired wax seal stamps from @jadeitefinds on Instagram too!
  3. Last summer I invested in this English watering lance and let me tell you it makes me so happy to water my flowers. I feel very regal and it waters everything in the perfect shower of water. It’s also very classy looking, all brass, so I love to display it with my vintage garden decor too! You can find it here!

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. ❤️🎄❤️🎄

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. 🍂
