Has anyone heard if Valerie Parr Hill is going to bring back the Illuninated Holiday Scenes Under Glass?

My sister has one and my sister in law and myself both want one.

Someone did ask her on her facebook page and she said they would be back for the holiday season.

I almost purchased the Hobnail goblets, but she said that the lights inside only got 40 hours of glow time. Since they're on a 5 hour timer, so that means you'd have to change the batteries every 8 days! Really?

Yes ...Maybe Val misspoke. If each goblet takes 3 AAA batteries and they only last 40 hours....OMG !!!

Later on she mentioned that another product had 40 DAYS of glow time, so maybe she misspoke about the Hobnails. I keep wanting to say Hob Nob, btw. LOL!

I suggest for someone to post on VPH's FB page for her to clarify...and ask about the goblets...so then only 8 (5 hrs each day) days? Or did you mean 40 days? I say this because if it is for only 8 days, IMO, I believe VPH needs to know from more than just a few folks that the amount of time before having to change/recharge is way too short.

I already mentioned on her FB page a few times last year about the battery life issue on a few different products, but there just doesn't seem to be enough 'squeak' to get the wheel a good greasing...so to speak.

Remember, JMO and I really am trying to help

In the most recent presentation, which you can see on the product page, she didn't mention the glow time at all.

Usually if glow time isn't listed, it isn't good. Unless it's listed, I usually pass.

Something else that I'm curious about is why she calls this hobnail. The only hobnail pattern that I've seen is with round bumps on the outside of the glass. This pattern looks honeycomb and looks like indentations rather than raised bumps.

I heard the same thing, 40 hours per tealight, 8 days on the 5 hr. timer. Ouch!

As far as the Illuminated Holiday Scenes Under Glass, wouldn't she bring them back in the Fall, if at all?

I wondered about that, too. The pattern looks like a variation of the hammered hurricane and the diamond pattern pillars from her line. They are pretty, but the tealights could use some improvement.

I decided to purchase the goblets in Silver. I have a new cabinet in my Living Room that I purchased just before Xmas, so I have room for something(s) new. I'm not too concerned about the battery of the tea lights as I have some spare, rechargeable Luminara votives that I can put in them if the tea lights that come with it don't have a good battery life. I do think, however, that Valerie misspoke, and that she meant to say 40 DAYS of glow time. It would be difficult to believe that a tiny light that takes 3 AAA batteries would only get 8 days of battery life. Her crackle spheres take 3 AAA batteries and lasted at least 3 months. Only time will tell, so I'll update once I test them out.

FYI, I received the "Hobnail" Goblets today. They are very pretty, except they were missing the tea lights. I called Customer Service, and they said it would be quicker to just return the entire set and ask for a new one instead of requesting the tea lights. They look great, though. It's a shame that QVC's quality control is always so poor.
