@PeterDM It is ugly...and the reviews so far agree...a consistant 1 star review rating...yikes! ...LOL

I agree with you. Why can't they have themed Christmas shows, like "a formal Christmas," or "Christmas at a log cabin," or shows like that?

I wish QVC had given her more harvest shows!

I just read them, @Susan Louise. That was so funny!  I can't wait to see how Jill is going to sell that one!  I imagine they won't be scrolling reviews on the bottom of the screen during that presentation.  They would have been okay (maybe) if they were pure white, but that cornucopia looks like a cross between an infected big toe, and the result from a ceramics class at an insane asylum!

The 'Blob' comes to mind with that cornucopia.  Turkey is ugly too.  The person who designed these must have been having a bad day.

Peter, I love your sense of humor. I had a good laugh this morning when I read your post about the infected big toe and the ceramics class at an insane asylum. Smiley LOL

I had it in my cart when it first came out, before the picture was posted. I usually grab anything "turkey" because they are so few & far between. 

 

Something held me back, something about the description (translucent???).

 

Boy, am I glad I waited. That is not for me.

I was thinking mutant or deformed sea shell, but the big toe thing works...

Forgot... as for how she'll sell them, she'll invoke the "I'm such a straight shooter and wouldn't lead you astray..." thing and then proceed to pontificate about all the ways you can use them, which roughly translated will mean all the ways you can cover them up...

I agree with your idea about the themed shows.  Even if people don't care for, let's say, formal decor, there are still items in the formal shows that are universal for any decor style.  People who like decor shows are going to watch ALL decor shows, because of the different decorating ideas that are presented.  I wouldn't think a show like "log cabin Christmas" would appeal to my style at all, but I bet there would be something in it that I could work into my home.  


 

Well, only to a point. I love the idea of themes, but even though I enjoy decor, I'm not personally watching all decor shows... Not if Jill's hosting them...
