Happy Tuesday morning everyone~Hope you all had a relaxing and enjoyable weekend~
Summer is just getting started here at American Home & Garden in Ventura Ca.  The dealers have been busy keeping their booths filled to the brim.  The Summer months are the busiest for us and being a fairly new dealer here...I got my first taste of just how busy we are this past weekend.  The weather was amazing and the customers were out in droves!  My friend Chad  got a chance to take some pictures around the store and I wanted to share them with you... Remember if you see anything you like...please don't hesitate to call the store and snag it!  Things go super FAST around here!  

 I'm loving this vintage wooden chaise lounge with down pillows in that amazing green color we all adore!  Every Summer I love to decorate with vintage iron garden pieces~and here at American Home & Garden we've got so many beautiful pieces to choose from.

Here is another gorgeous chaise ~re-upholstered in painters cloth!  To die for in person!!  Do you spy the amazing primitive bead board cabinet in the background?  ~Great Color~

The side board is another "to die for " piece...hard to see, but has a scalloped edge and drawers for storage...

 Old ladder with painted #'s on the steps~too cute~and perfect to display with.  Vintage wicker desk with French Bistro chairs...more iron~

 Chad's booth is stuffed!  Click on the pictures to enlarge...What do you spy?

 Beautiful pine hutch to hold all your ironstone dishes~We have several Adirondack chairs in the store now too~  Garden urns are a staple~you can never have too many~

 Architectural salvage, Victorian wire planter, French bottle dryer racks, vintage garden statuary and urns, shutters ~you name it we've got it!

This weeks YARD sale finds!~

OMG you know that IKEA commercial where the husband is in the car and the wife comes running...start the car!  Start the CAR!  Well that's how I felt this weekend when I went to my friend Cheryl's vintage yard sale!  Cheryl has AMAZING taste and when she has a sale...well...you just don't miss it!  I came home with several goodies, this 8 foot farm table and 7 chairs being one of them....

 I love the size and the patina~especially the knotty pine top!  I added some of my vintage European bread boards and some of my French enamelware and of course fresh roses cut from the garden~

My next find..was this amazing 3 tier Antique Victorian wire plant stand with the crown....I seem to be collecting more of these lately and it went perfect on the porch with my wire bench purchased the weekend before~

 I also found an antique chaise lounge with a custom Shabby Chic ruffled cover (don't have a pic yet) and a lovely yard long of pansies~Such a great day~  Thank you Cheryl for the invite!  Your sales are a MUST for me!
