I love our Christmas in July event at QVC because it's your (and MY) first look at some of the new designs and themes that will be featured during the holiday decorating season.  There will be a lot of new in my "You're Home with Jill" and "Holidays with Jill Bauer" shows throughout July...I'll share a few sneak peeks later in the blog....and there are some great bargains to be had too.  If you like something, just click on the highlighted/bold word, and it will take you to QVC.com to see a full product description.

This was my tree in my sunroom last year...so many of you asked about the frosted magnolia collection. Well, good news for you...it is being offered at a special CIJ price!  

 

Add to your collection or start a new one....but we're limited and there is no reorder.  I hope it adds some elegance to your décor this year.

I think Valerie Parr Hill's Illuminated Pedestals are the perfect staple to kick off our event.  We all have pillar candles, and these make those simple candles seem so refined.  I don't see these as only holiday items...a good investment because you can use them year round.

Here are some pretty ways to think about using these in your home...

Here's another Valerie item I'm loving...these gorgeous ornament treasures

They open, so you can put a little note inside as a special keepsake, and the rich colors are stunning.  They also come gift boxed...perfect for that person who has everything.  There are hearts or egg shapes...both are fabulous.

It's also so fun to walk around our sets and see them transformed into a winter wonderland.  Love these flocked trees from Bethlehem Lights!

And here are a few things coming up later this month in YHJ and Holidays with Jill Bauer....you can't order these yet, but be sure to check out my shows so you can get yours!

We reimagined this oversized nutcracker...you can use indoors or outdoors...he has more lights and a more regal style than last year's version (which sold out!).  I can hear the music from the Nutcracker Ballet as I look at him!

This is one of my most favorite items of the entire season...these Mercury glass finials have different motifs on top (we are featuring the cardinal here, but there are others) and the size, colors, and glow all made my imagination run wild.  I'm excited to share these with you in the coming weeks.  It's also a perfect fit on top of Valerie's pedestal TSV...something to think about!

 

Be sure to mark your calendars for the following days and times for Holidays with Jill Bauer and YHJ:

 

Holidays with Jill Bauer:  Sunday July 17th from 7:00pm to 9:00pm

 

You're Home with Jill:  Wednesday July 6 from 6:00pm to 8:00pm  and

Happy Christmas in July....and Fourth of July weekend too!
