Celebrate the Holidays with Contemporary Style!

Twinkle, Twinkle! 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!

Thomas Glenn Polish glass ornaments are not your grandmother’s Christmas decorations! They are contemporary and glitzy! In his “real life” Thomas Glenn brushes paints on canvases. His art work may in found in several NYC galleries.


In a former work life, Thomas Glenn designed motifs for tableware and he is a licensed artist for Winterthur Museum. He is especially fond of Asian themes.

But most of all, the Thomas Glenn Collection is pure elegance!

Celebrate Christmas with the Thomas Glenn Collection!

Farewell to Halloween Give-Away

Do You Etsy? My online life changed when a Celebrate365 subscriber in Houston suggested that I visit Etsy. She advised that I would find a variety of up and coming artists there. She was right! Many well-known folk artists still maintain shops there. I love Etsy because it’s often a platform for new artists to lauch their lines and refine their ideas and designs. It can take a lot of browsing time, but it’s fun to "discover" talented artists who are just starting out. Like what you see here? Take a look at their Etsy shops for a wider selection. Then, don’t forget to visit our Farewell to Halloween Give Away! The items pictured below are part of the festivities. You only have to leave a comment to participate. That’s easy!
