SHOCKING MYSELF WITH PURCHASES

mousiegirl — Sat, 26 Sep 2015 19:55:52 GMT

I know I do buy a lot of Christmas decor, but I didn't think there would be much to interest me. I am losing it with buying white for the red and white room, and I don't remember there ever being so many white decor offerings before. It's a good thing I am a great crammer.

Seriously! ALL my Christmas decor is white! I'm going to need an intervention this weekend!

LOL...I guess we all should have known there would be plenty of new temptations coming at us in the coming months.

I'm glad I ordered the set of 3 poinsettias when I did since they sold out...and not to return!

I am hoping to see a presentation on VPH's show in a couple of hours for the bottle brush trees. Even though I already ordered the champagne, still would like to see them in a show. They were presented at 1am, but no video...phooey! LOL

@Susan Louise Me too. I have been flip flopping between the green and champagne all day.

Speaking of white stuff, @Susan Louise, I was in Michaels the other day, and they had beautiful, white bottle brush trees. They were about 14" tall.

@PeterDM Hope you don't mind me honing in on your conversation, but do you remember the price of the trees at Michael's

They were $29.99. If you sign up for their coupons, you'll get a new email with new coupons every day. The day that I saw them, I had a 50% off coupon that I could have used for them. I thought they were a good deal. My local Michaels has one aisle of Christmas stuff out, and most of the decor in that aisle is white.

Sounds like you decorate a lot - when do you start decorating?

Personally, I don't like the white bottle brush trees. I bought a set of Vickerman white bottle brush trees 2 years ago and only used them last year and wasn't crazy about the like...rather blah (I attached a pic below).

The sad part is I did originally give the trees a VERY high rating/review (H184609) back when I bought them in 2013...because they were perfectly shaped and well made. However, when I finally added them into vignettes, they just lost all of their impressiveness. This past Spring I donated both sets to charity...no joke!

Because of this, I don't like white bottle brush trees and prefer the bleached/vintage bottle brush trees like the 1st pic with the mantel (that pic is one I got online...not of our decor...I added it to my post as an example which I stated in that post) in this thread that has a creamy color to the trees...which is why I thought buying VPH's champagne trees would fit the bill.

@mousiegirl@PeterDM Thank you guys. I will check out Michaels' this week. In the meantime, I think I will keep my order for val's trees and watch her show tonight. Hopefully will get a better look at them since no video is available.

Don't feel too bad. There are probably times when you can't find anything you like. I collect train ornaments. Some years I can't find any.

If you love Michaels you'll love the bonus coupon this week. Check it out they had one at Joanne's and I saved $9 more! Love Joanne's because they take all coupons at one time.
