News about glass ornaments, events and collecting …
You know that I’ve been traipsing around Germany and generally having a fabulous adventure. Now, it is back to reality … and Halloween.
I love the fresh, crisp shades that autumn brings. I did look for vintage Halloween decorations at the Leipzig Flea Market but did not spot a thing, Of course, German Halloween production was primarily exported to the United States. So, perhaps we have it all here!
Amid medical appointments at the Cleveland Clinic and preparations for our trip to Germany, I began a serious efforts to search and find long-overlooked Halloween and fall styles that had appeared in past issues of Celebrate365.
I’ve added quite a few pieces in both the “Halloween” and “Opportunities” category themes in the store. Some are one-of-a-kind. Others are from Bethany Lowe Designs and Bruce Elsass … long-retired and difficult to find.
One-of-a-Kind designs from Debbee Thibault, Jerry and Darla Arnold, Vergie Lightfoot, Debra Schoch, Kristen Beason, Casey Mack

I’m amid a big box & move-it project for the installation of wood floors on the first floor. And, I also need to begin preparing for the weekend show. I think that I will have two trees plus a full table … mixing antique, vintage and contemporary items. I’m planning to concentrate on “onsies” … things that just aren’t worth the time to list them online. I have a number of signed folk art pins and things, single ornaments from my collection etc. For example, I have a huge rolling bin of “extras”that I don’t think I’ve opened since about 2005! And, I have retail merchandise that has never made it online due to my extended illness. Look for lots of bargain pricing … I seriously need to downsize both personally and business-wise. Need a full size 7 ft pre-lit tree? Got one of those stored on the third floor of Apple Tree. I’ll make you a real deal if you can haul it away on Saturday! LOL
I will be bringing things that cover all 4 seasons. In other words, 365 days of the year! Hope to meet you in Piqua!
