Whether you will be traveling for your vacation or kicking back around the old homestead you’ll find great gifts for your loved ones and yourself on Zibbet. Perhaps you are working on a summery decorating theme, a summer wardrobe, planning a fishing trip, or you need pool or beach towels and accessories.

Zibbet has a wide array of summer products for you and your home.

I hope you enjoy this week’s Fantastic Five Summer Vacation theme. After reading try these key words for more great products: summer, beach, and vacation.

    No plans, Ms. Judy - other than keepin’ everybody healthy…………but thanks to this feature, I have just spent a few minutes at one of my favorite beach places (Anastasia State Park in St. Augustine FL)- the items you selected are outstanding, each and every one! My fave - the Blue Crab artistry!!!

    I so wish I was at the Island House in the last painting there! One can dream. Also, wish we were planning a summer vacation! As yet, no plans.
    But again, this collection of things makes it easy to dream.

    I complimented you on one of your previous Fantastic Fives… but then… I love them all. Hugs, Faye Bauble Bin and Woodcot Designs. If it is any consolation, I did the same thing to Vicki LOL

    Heading to the beach very soon!! Thanks so much for including my Beach sign in the awesome collection! I visited each of the shops and they’re full of great art and craft. Nice job Judy! Wendy

    Oh I can only dream of summer down under. It is heading right into winter here. I agree with you that Crab is awesome… my very first impression was that is was something enameled - so 3D.
    Oh to take a cuppa on the deck watching the grandkids take the tote to the beach in front of me. I wouldn’t need a sign saying beach to tell me where it is!
    But right now I am going to sit in front of my wood fire and enjoy my hot cup of Chocolate and a chat to my hubby watching the flames dance around. Life is good, no matter what the season!

    Wonderful collection, and thanks for including my Blue Crab! Happy 4th!

    Thanks for including one of Pop’s lures in today’s FF. Y’all come on down or over to the Florida Panhandle for a great time at the beach and for some fabulous fishing, either freswater or saltwater, or both. Think Like a Fish offers lures for both types of fishing so we’ve got you covered. We also offer a little “bling” for the fisherwoman!

    Happy summer!

    Love that coastal feeling! Summer came slowly to the North Country this year, but it’s worth the wait. This well chosen collection will bring a smile. W

    Thank you Judy for picking my “Tropical Secret” for one of your Fantastic Five picks for this week. I love painting tropical themed paintings and living in Florida makes it so easy. I was down in the Florida Keys, including Key West, a couple of weeks ago, taking pictures all the way down of the turquoise waters and the beautiful vegetation and colorful buildings. I’ve got many more idea’s now for paintings and hope to begin to post them in my store in the few weeks. I love all the items you picked and showed here, happy summer.

    That painting of the blue crab is magnificent.

  24. July 6th, 2011 at 8:40 pm Clarify

    A great collection. If these don’t get a person in the mood to hang loose some place warm, nothing will.

  25. July 9th, 2011 at 7:16 am BreitWerk

    Wonderful, now I wish I were going to the beach!
