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! |

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!
Octoberfest … it’s free!
FREE!Did that get your attention? It’s the deal of the day! |

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. |

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?? |
 |
 |
| This is our home for Ghoultide Gathering … the brand new general store. It has only been open for two weeks! |
 |
| 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. |
 |
| 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. |
