A favorite shopping place









I have been collecting photos of favorite stores I love to shop at and find cool vintage things.  One that I always go to and it never fails to inspire me is American Harvest on Main Street in Pleasanton Ca.  One block from my moms, I used to walk over and poke around in there all the time.  The owner has handcrafted items made by local artists, as well as vintage and commercially made products.  It is a lovely ecclectic mix of vintagey goodness.  She has many vintage French things here that she brings back from trips to France.  If you are in the area, don't miss an opportunity to stop by.  She redecorates often with new themes, so it is different every time you go in.  I love the vintage crown holder from France.  So unique and unusual for us here in the States...

You've touched on one of my favorite things, the globe de mariee. The one pictured is beautiful...the five diamond shaped mirrors indicate that this couple wanted five children. The leaves stand for fidelity, the daisies for innocence and purity, the ivy signals commitment, and the dove stands for peace in the home...
