American Home & Garden ~Vintage Spring

Well I don't know about you, but feels like Spring is FAST approaching!  Some of our weather lately feels like Summer getting well up into the high 80's.  I just changed my booth space 3 weeks ago, as well as all the other dealers at American Home...we have been selling and replenishing like crazy.  Sometimes as fast as I take the photos...complete vignettes disappear!  :)  
We are excited about all the changes we have made, and the customers are loving the new cash wrap area. 
Here are some new vignettes I snapped around the store~starting to see some vintage Spring here at American Home...
So as you can see we have been very busy getting ready for Spring...come on in for a visit...before it gets to be Summer :)  We hope you enjoyed the tour!  As always give the store a call if you find something you gotta have (wink wink).
