Hello sweet friends! Every year I create a series of limited-edition holiday decor to benefit a worthy charitable organization. This year is no exception. I bring you The 2019 DTA Ornament Collection.
The 2019 DTA Ornament Collection
This year’s ornaments are in memory of my daughter’s dear grandmother, Lavanna Sherman. She was a big supporter of our nation’s military and the Red Cross. To honor her when you purchase an ornament a portion of the profits will go to your choice of either the USO or the Red Cross.
No More Etsy
In past years I have posted the ornaments in my Etsy shop. Unfortunately, they have once again raised their service fees. In addition, Etsy is asking sellers to provide free shipping and if they do not comply a seller will be de-prioritized by the site’s highly competitive search algorithm. For someone trying to send as much money as I can to a charitable organization, this stings a bit.
As a buyer, you may also not be aware that the form of payment preferred by Etsy is PayPal because the buyer is protected. This is indeed important to me. But perhaps the buyer isn’t aware that the service provided by PayPal is not free for the seller. They deduct a percentage from each sale as well.
So I am eliminating the Etsy middle man. All sales will be conducted through PayPal so that the buyer is protected. This way more money can go towards a worthy cause.

Hello Laura,
I would like to purchase the #2 White Dove ornament with the donation to go to the Red Cross. It will be displayed in honor of my mother, Elizabeth who passed away last year. She loved vintage Christmas decor and the dove has a very special meaning. Thank you so much!
