AMERICAN HARVEST WELCOMES SPRING
American Harvest Spring Open House was held on Saturday, March 1st. The store was decked out from top to bottom with Easter and Spring decor. A Birthday Party celebration theme illuminated the entire office area as AH will turn 11 on March 7th!. Nicol Sayre was our featured guest artist. We also showcased the original art of Connie Govea Stuart, Donna O'Brien, Ingrid Pomeroy, Debi Ortega, Susan Arnot and Debbee Thibault. 
Vintage floral baskets filled with felt party hats, rosettes, and streamers hang from the ceiling in celebration of Easter and Spring.
A beautiful hand dyed and embellished purse by Connie Govea Stuart.
Collage art on canvas by Connie.
Pictured above is one of the newest regal crowns by Donna O'Brien.
This Spring Song basket comes complete with a small crown by Donna O'Brien.
Debi Ortega has captured pure whimsy in her miniature mohair monkey.
Ingrid Pomeroy's "Dreams" box is an Easter delight. There is even a surprise inside!
Easter parade of dolls by Susan Arnot.
The Little Prince is one of Debbee Thibault's newest creations.
Our very own Jan Atkins created this miniature quilt using all vintage materials, trims and millinery. Her workmanship is incredible and makes this creation a true treasure.
Nicol Sayre never ceases to amaze us with her magnificent dolls.
Mary (all the way from Arizona), Dalia and Debbie wait patiently for the store to open. 
We love our American Harvest groupies! Vivian, Roger, Bonnie, Karin and Marlene headed up the line. Thank you to all for making the Spring Open House a major success. Your loyalty is unsurpassed!
Happy Spring and Easter from your friends at American Harvest.....
Rodger, Sharon, Laura, Nicol, Marian and April

Fantastic! All the goodies are a wonderful way to celebrate the arrival of Spring.
It's a shame I live so far away.
