I’m a huge patriotic collector so expect to see many of Debbee’s newest Fourth of July designs to be featured in the summer issue of Celebrate365. To purchase any of these whimsical spring styles, visit Kitty’s Ltd. Kitty is a Celebrate365 advertiser and has the largest selection on the web. If you want it, Kitty will definitely try to make your wish come true! |

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! |
