| The Christopher Radko company has reached a licensing agreement with Coca Cola.
There are five glass ornaments in this special European-made collection. And, may I say … they are just way too cute! And, I’m not even a Coke drinker … but I know just who I’d like to buy them for. You’ll also find two Coke designs in the Home for the Holidays collection. One is a darling snack plate for Santa. As you may remember … Coca Cola is the company who revolutionized our American concept of Santa when they designed a fat, jolly version in early advertising. I predict these will appear on many a collector tree for Christmas 2011! |

Celebrate the Holidays with Contemporary Style!
Last year at this time, the Celebrate365 store had been tapped as the exclusive retailer for Thomas Glenn’s Hot Pink Camo. The glittering glass Polish ornament had been selected to kick off the “O List” of Oprah’s holiday favorites. Oprah shared the cover with Ellen DeGeneres. Unfortunately, Oprah did not select a favorite ornament this year but the Thomas Glenn Collection continues to sparkle! In additional to last season’s original HOT PINK coloration, here are three variations currently available in the Celebrate365 store. And, if you missed last year’s version, it is now in stock! |

Celebrate the Holidays with Italian Flair!
 |
 |
 |
| What’s new at the Celebrate365 store? Over 40 new listings in the De Carlini Italian ornament category! This small family-owned business began operation in 1947. Luca Terruzzi, grandson of the founder, now heads the business. His wife works in the office and his mother oversees the dressing and decorating department. You’ll usually find his dad around the glass blowing area. | ||
 |
 |
 |
| When a retailer places an order, each ornament is custom created for that store. Once that order is completed, it’s air-expressed to the USA. Ninety percent of the workshop’s annual producation is destined for American homes. | ||
 |
 |
 |
| Why do these ornaments cost more than many others? The answer lies in how they are created. It’s a truly hand made product from start to finish. Master glass blowers create each ornament individually. No two are ever quite alike.
