Christmas in July - - AGAIN????

I know.  Christmas just ended and now here are all the early, early, early - - -  well you get it.  Yes, for some this is just another marketing trick, but I think it can be more.  This is a good time to check in with our feelings of hope, help for those around us, hospitality, and our moral compass, just as we do in November and December.

Yes, it is a "Hallmark Moment" as the two Hallmark channels run their Christmas movies, all rather simple, sweet and predictible - smaltzy - but we need a little smaltz in our lives to center us.

Now as to the other part of Christmas in July - the sales. As a small business owner and jewelry designer Rivendell Rock Jewelry, I am offering a store wide sale - 10% off all items from July 6 to July 12 in conjunction with other Etsy shops.

You will find many gorgeous, handmade items from small crafters and artists listed at STATTEAM "Christmas in July" SALE Promotional Blog July 6-July12   Please be sure and check it out.  Here are artists who create unique jewelry, crochet and knit pieces, paintings, pottery, and more ways to trick out a horse or pony than you can ever imagine!
