I decided to place another order for VPH products...

Susan Louise, I have those gold topiaries of Valerie's. I have had them a few years and I still like them. At least there's no lights to malfunction so you should be good to go with them.

Honestly, I thought I never would again considering how many of her products I had to return due to poor quality this year (the latest was her TSV set of 4 votives...).

I decided to order 3 items...

H193126 - Set of 2 gold topiaries (just couldn't resist the 'last clicks' price and 5 star review). I'm surprised they hadn't sold out yet since I started a thread about them a couple of months ago. I thought about getting them then, just lack of places to display them. Since I liked them so much...I'll find a spot for them...lol

H203911 - 24" Metal Wire Apothecary Jar...VERY versatile and I like the taller one better than Valerie's shorter ones!

H203494 - Set of 12 Beaded Pumpkins...will definitely use them in the wire jar...and again, another versatile product.

Now I just need to cross my fingers and hope all are good...no rejects. The sad part is, a customer shouldn't have to worry about such a thing...should assume it will be a nice, well made piece/s.

This is exactly why I rarely order from QVC anymore. Good luck, hope you like them.

Hi Lucymo, Thanks for letting me know about the topiaries! ITA about the no-lights/batteries. I'm definitely using less of BO decor

Thanks...me too!

I have no complaints about my two as is metal wire apothecaries, the smaller ones. Good luck on your new orders. I hope you are pleased with everything this time around. I know the returning ordeal is a pain, not to mention the disappointment.

I've had my fair share of Valerie quality issues over the years. Regardless, I'm not ready to stop buying. I am a little more cautious or selective though. The pieces that are good are really good, so that makes it all worthwhile. Hope your items are from the good batches!!
