Welcome to 

Christmas in July!

I'm trying a little something different for this sale.  It's always hard to keep up with comments and who comments first on FB, so this sale will feature each item, with a description and then a Paypal Button to purchase.  You can use Paypal even if you don't have a Paypal account.
All photos can be clicked on to enlarge for viewing details.
