It’s “Flipping” Wonderful!

It’s been a long time! You haven’t received an issue of Celebrate365 since spring.

Health issues took me away for several months. But, now we are back with a double issue.

This publication will combine late summer themes in the first half of the pages …

Then flip it over to this side …

Artist Linda Apple sets the tone for Halloween!

Just look into those eyes!

Cat Visions leads readers into the essence of the fall festivities with ornaments and folk artists.

Watch for more details to come.

Spring is Here!

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!
