Beaded Fruit Tree

Thank you, mallemo, I bought them!

ETA: I bought the wreath and garlands, and they are beautiful. They are slender as the reviews state, but once the fruit is arranged a bit, work for me.

ETA: The garlands are slender, the wreaths are not, very full and beautiful.

Hi mallemo, I also have sugared wreath and garland. I love the wreath and the garland is pretty but it is narrow. I really like my garlands a little more substantial but I'm thinking of cutting it up and making candle rings or just shorter pieces to tuck in cabinets or shelves. They are an excellent buy at As Is, I bought when they were presented at regular price.

The Q is busy adding new things today! I want this tree, but I've bought so much else lately. I will have to think on it a while. It's a little more expensive than I had hoped.

I have the sugared wreath and garland, mallemo, and they are really, really nice looking IMO. I did have a problem with some of the pine cones being crushed on their ends, though.

I'm glad you still post when you can, mallemo. You are missed. I was just reading over an old thread from 2012 about Valerie's first version of the set of 4 votives, in a choice of cardinals or poinsettias. It was one of those busy fun threads with all the back and forth chatting. I bought the newer version called Music on as is earlier today, and was just googling for more thoughts on the previous version.

Thanks for the info. SHOPR. I have VPH's first version of those votives when they were the TSV. I have a set of both the cardinals and the poinsettias. I think they are nice. Not perfect but very nice. Let us know what you think when yours arrive.

Thanks lucymo and mousiegirl! I'm still thinking about the ""as is"" wreath. I might cave!

SHOPR, I have those first sets of the votives in the Cardinal and Poinsettias. I still use them and like them. I ordered the winter scene in As Is today, told myself they would be for gifts. We'll see.

I'm encouraged to hear that you both have the original set of votives and were pleased enough with them to keep them. I've been reading some really bad reviews on all the versions and was having some doubts. Sounds like this last batch even had some upside down decals, like the recent TSV candles with sentiments. Like you said, lucy, we'll see.

mallemo, I really think you will be pleased with the look of the sugared fruit wreath, assuming it's in good shape when you get it.

Loves Purple, It isn't the tree that is as is, but the matching wreath and garland. If you type in "as is valerie" into the search box on the homepage, you will see them along with all of the other VPH as is items.
