Now that summer has officially arrived, it's time to break in that backyard that we've avoided cleaning all winter long. Say goodbye to crunchy leaves that always trail into the house, soggy furniture (because sometimes we forget to put the covers on), and overgrown weeds. Say hello! to topless tanning--can't have any of those tan lines--barbecues, and all around good times with friends & family outside in the sun. So scrub the deck, trim the garden, and grab some of these fantastic local goods for the endless amount of summer soirees you'll be throwing in your backyard. 
FEATURED ITEMS
1. Vintage blankets from Beam & Anchor- Use them as a picnic blanket or a table cloth, or maybe snuggle up in them around a fire pit and marshmallows! 2.
