De Carlini | Celebrate365

We are TOTALLY Stocked!

Shipping and Refunds on the Horizon …

We have begun shipping all backorders from Heartfully Yours. All product styles have now arrived. If you think we’ve missed you, please reach out.

We are a teeny, tiny operation with a BIG love for glass ornaments!

The same applies to Soffieria De Carlini ornament styles. All 2024 products have arrived. If an item is out of stock, we cannot place a re-order until January 2025 when we attend the Atlanta wholesale market show. We have started our list of things we need to order. Feel free to message and add to the list! And, it usually is a very LONG list!

Ditto, Thomas Glenn Holidays re-orders. We already have an extensive list of styles that we will need to re-order.

Sadly, we will be unable to fill everyone’s requests this year.

The company reached out yesterday to let us know that a combination of supply chain/shipping mishaps coupled with a dwindling pool of ornament artists, Thomas Glenn Holidays did not receive the quantities that they had requested.

Like most global economies, Poland has more job openings than workers to fill them. So, quite a few “former” artists have left the craft for higher-paying positions. Many such jobs have more attractive benefits, too. Unfortunately, we now have received everything that we will for this year. And, it is missing many items that we had ordered.

I will personally reach out to many of you. If I promised you that a style you wanted would be “coming later” this season, unfortunately, it will not arrive in 2024.

Yesterday, my sister and I began shipping Thomas Glenn orders that might have been awaiting a missing style. I will be writing to each of you personally to let you know. I’ll be offering a merchandise credit or a refund check for those styles we are unable to supply.

Did I mention that Thomas Glenn ornaments are selling like hotcakes to season? It seems many of you have discovered this quiet gem of a company!

But, we do have ornaments! Just take a look! And, we are more than just ornaments. We have products from Bethany Lowe Designs to Thomas Schaller figures and collector books. Take some time to look around.

And, that’s the news from Celebrate365 moving into the holiday season!

Pre-Ordering open for 2022

It’s taken a bit … most of you know that I underwent serious surgery on April 11. I am recovering well here at home and I will not require further treatment. But, enough about that subject for now … let’s talk about something a bit more fun. How about Italian ornaments?

In early January, you viewed all of the free-blown glass designs when we ordered them at America’sMart in Atlanta at the Soffieria De Carlini showroom. While I love their contemporary designs, my heart just “soars” when I’m presented with throw-back styles from the 1960s and 70s.

We have most of the new designs on the website now and available for pre-ordering with an anticipated fall 2022 delivery. I’ve divided the image presentation into two themes: retro styles and fashion ladies. Several retro styles feature multiple colorations. Look and shop to your heart’s content

Although pandemic conditions seem to have waned, for now, other issues continue to plague global business. War is on Italy’s doorstep, and fuel costs have skyrocketed. Just like in the U.S., it’s difficult for Soffieria De Carlini to purchase paint, trims, packaging … really, all of the supplies that they require to create their free-blown ornaments.   Many do not realize just how “tiny” the Soffieria De Carlini workshop is. They employ a mere ten skilled artisans, two of whom are the husband and wife owners, Luca Terruzzi and his wife, Sabrina.

I’m giving you this bit of background information to let you know — this year I will not be able to place re-orders for ANY of the styles shown online. The workshop actually has MORE orders than they will be able to produce. What does that mean for you, as a collector?  When an available quantity shown online reaches zero (0), our website is set to automatically ask you if you would like for us to re-order the style. Well, yes … we can do that. However, the ornament won’t arrive until 2023 and the pricing will increase.  While I dislike making dire predictions about a topic that should be simply FUN, this situation is now our global supply reality. So, buy it when you see it in 2022!

Decorate Your Tree … with memories

Holiday Ornaments Create Memories — They always “fit” … no size or color to “exchange”

Family memories … for many, Christmas trees are like family scrapbooks. Each year as you bring out the totes and boxes, you unwrap remembrances of special moments, special friends, departed loved ones, and Christmases past. Perhaps your family tradition involves listening to a favorite Christmas album, drinking hot cocoa … maybe even placing a pickle on the tree for little ones to find.

Think about each decoration and the memories it evokes. Start you own tradition … give a gift that tugs the heartstrings, always “fits” perfectly, and evokes memories for years to come.

Merry Christmas!

Autumn is Calling!

With the leaves falling and dancing mischievously in the wind, there’s no doubt that autumn is in the air.

A White Christmas …

If you love Rosemary Clooney’s character in the movie, you will want to add this iconic ornament to your holiday tree. Clad in the classic red gown, this blond singer / dancer wears a vibrant flowing dress embellished with glittered red poinsettias. She has a sparkling rhinestone buckle at her waist. Designer Edith Head created the original costumes for the movie.

And, if you are visiting the northern Kentucky area, be certain to stop at the Rosemary Clooney House in Augusta, the home of the largest collection of WHITE CHRISTMAS memorabilia in the world (http://www.http://www.rosemaryclooney.org)

Only 60 of these ornaments were created for Celebrate365.com for the recent Golden Glow of Christmas Past Convention in Cincinnati, Ohio. Rosemary Clooney was born in northern Kentucky and her career began in Cincinnati. Each ornament is numbered and signed by Rosa De Carlini, daughter of the workshop founder.

Two prototype versions are also available.
