A Patricia Breen Complimentary Ornament …

I was able to photograph my sister’s prize from the Patricia Breen event held at Stacey Leuliette Gracious Living in Birmingham, Michigan. It is a “cachette” in Breen-ology. I would term it a candy container — something like those from Ino Schaller in Germany. This is much heavier and, as you can see, exceptionally beautiful!  This was Benita’s first Patricia Breen ornament event.  She certainly was a very lucky winner!  Thanks to Patricia, James, Stacey and the staff for hosting an outstanding ornament experience!

It’s Patricia Breen Event Season!

Would you like to connect with like-minded people? Those who share your passion for collecting? Consider this my personal invitation to join me at the Glass Links email discusison list.

Long before Celebrate365 was even a concept, I began the Glass Links. It was the mid-1990s … dial-up was the norm. Very few stores were online with shop. Gosh, even Christopher Radko didn’t have a web site. The Glass Links was born of necessity. Collectors simply needed to find out what was out there. What better way than to communicate with one another through that new way of talking — email!

While the Glass Links began as a way of discussing glass ornaments, it has certainly evolved from its initial 12 members! The discussion list is now part of Celebrate365 and it is open to one and all. So, whether you are a collector, a designer, a manufacturer or a folk artist, we all have one thing in common. We love holidays and things that relate to them.

Sound like something you’d like to be part of? Give it a try.

Ah, my email box is already overflowing! I really don’t need anymore coming my way. We understand. That’s why we offer a lot of options. If you join, you may opt to receive your mail as:

  • individual messages
  • one digest per day (one email containing all the messages for the given day)
  • NO mail! Check in ONLINE and read/respond to messages.

We aim to please. And, did I mention it’s FREE?

Give it a try? We don’t hold you hostage. If you decide we aren’t for you, it’s simple to unsubscribe.

Here’s where you need to go: CLICK HERE.

One final comment:

I need to physically approve each new subscriber. And, I’ll be traveling until Monday, October 4. I won’t have internet access again until Monday morning. So please be patient until I can activate you.

Unless I personally know you, your first 4 posts will be moderated. That just means that I will need to read & approve them before your email appears for others to read. It’s just my way of seeing that you are real and not one of those pesky spammers!

So, please join us. Let us know what you collect, design or hand craft! Join others who share your passion.

 

 

We’ve arrived in Michigan!

Our Ghoultide Journey … all packed and ready to go. Note that I rate a small space in the back seat amid bags & bins. Too much stuff??
In the Car
JM Meade General Store
This is our home for Ghoultide Gathering … the brand new general store. It has only been open for two weeks!
GG-counter
Sister knows best! Benita (Willow Springs Family Farm) told me that I hadn’t packed enough things for the display … so we added more (see the first photo above). Sigh … she was so right! I never anticipated that we would have such a generous display area.
Ghoultide Gathering, Finished Display
And, here’s our finished Celebrate365 display. Come and visit us! That’s my niece Brenna. A huge thank you to Benita & Brenna for making everything look so enticing.

The show opens on Saturday, October 2 at 9 AM and closes at 2 PM. Come and see us … Northville, Michigan.

Meet Us in Michigan!

Ghoultide Gathering 2010
Meet Us in Michigan!

The Ohio – Michigan rivalry is historic. But, Celebrate365 is calling a truce. We’ll be crossing the border into Blue & Gold territory on Friday afternoon. It’s time for Ghoultide Gathering … and we wouldn’t miss it! We will be “official” exhibitors this year and we are so very pleased!

We will be inside the newest village building, the General Store. It is directly across from the Cady Inn.

Please stop in to say hello! We would love to meet you in person. And, if you would like to place a “will call” order for the Halloween issue of Celebrate365 just use the contact form at the top of this page.

I’ll be bringing Halloween issues from previous years and, of course, you can sign up for a yearly subscription!

See you there … and don’t forget to wear your most comfortable shoes!
