SHOPR -

Bdeezy — Wed, 13 Jan 2016 13:28:21 GMT

Just figuring out how to navigate this new forum set-up and saw you mentioned me in October.

Well, kiddo I retired Xmas 2014 and finished my master's Aug. 2015. I will no longer be MIA, really missed you and all the enablers LOL.

I do keep in touch w/Booper on Facebook. Retail has taken a toll on me, in December had to rent a storage unit so I can continue my Mom's tradition of Summer and Winter changes to everything practically, DAA. My sons were honestly threating an intervention. The Q has yet to fix my 'nickname' for reviews, just shows up anonymous.

Now about those Luminara votives, they act like it's a secret when they are available, but you know I was able to get 3 sets finally passed the pacific ones on to somebody. Well, this is turning into a novel!

Only the best to you and yours, happy shopping. Dee

P.S. I still miss Linda Dano!

Landau over at the southern station has the basket weave throw Linda introduced about 3 or 4 years ago, and yes I purchased to grey and a:womanvery-happy beige mongolan throw in beige, which stinks to the high heavens, sheesh! Shopr everything I've purchased from Clever Carriage Home has been perfection.

Ok, I'm really finished.

@Bdeezy,

It's so great to hear from you. :-) It's been a while! Congratulations on finishing your Master's.

I hope you eventually get the hang of this new forum and stop in more often, but if you are in need of a shopping intervention already, then I'm afraid your problem will only get worse if you frequent this and the holiday forum. It never fails that just when I'm doing good and not buying anything, someone will share something that starts up the buying or wanting to buy all over again. The people here are so good at that.

Hi to @bopper too. :-)

I am really liking the small Mystique tealights that I bought at Overstock, which are the same as the Luminara flame, movement, etc. I don't like the battery life, though. You must really be pleased with the Luminara votives you got from QVC if you gave up your Pacific Accents votives for them. I am still using 1 or 2 of my Pacific Accents votives around the house, and they've been very reliable and bright, and the batteries last a good while. They were definitely a worthwhile purchase, and I thank you for suggesting them way back when.

Thanks for the heads up on the similar-to-LD items over on HSN. I never think to go to their website unless they send me a coupon, and then I don't usually know what's worth the money and what isn't. I will try to remember to check out Landau and Clever Carriage Home every now and then.

I love the basketweave throw you got and I see that they sell a basketweave comforter set, too. I love throws and have a few in faux fur finishes. I can't let myself buy any more, though, because I have a Linda Dano trunk full of throws already. I'm not making that up. I really do. I'm still using and enjoying several different types of items (trunks, sconces, pillows, etc.) around the house from Linda's collection. I miss her presentations, too. I always smiled or laughed at something she'd say--what a personality!

Take Care.

Only you would understand, I purchased the Dano easel just in case I move and had the room for it one day! It's hidding behind a sofa next to the wall still in the box, DAA.

Still can't figure out what happened to 'Summerblu' she was a great contributor.

Really, Shopr here you go, yes I will check out Mystique candles, in my Jersey accent. You have started already to make me go look, LOL. Gave away most of the flameless candles, except the ones w/designs like the big fruit ones, darn duck one and the peacock one to switch to Luminara. Have to laugh, when I return home at night, don't need to turn on the lights the darn candles just light the way inside! LOL

"You haven't found anything to stick on the ceiling yet?" was an observation voiced by one of my sons.

Really did start renting a storage unit in December because I ran out of space to hide things. Now I'm on a kitchen and linen obsession, kept my over 25 year Cuisinart pan set, (and will never purchase any Cook's Essentials again , but purchased the KitchenAid pan set and love.Since retiring don't need anymore jewelry or clothes, THAT'S MY EXCUSE AND I'M STICKING TO IT. So on to the linens and kitchen. LOL

When the brown truck man said, "If you want to see me everyday, just invite me to dinner," I was shocked and appalled and replied, "just doing what I can to make sure you have a job" LOL.

Just soooo glad to be in contact with you, right now I'm get another box ready for Goodwill.; well, at least I'm a humanitaran of sorts. LOL

Best to you and yours, Dee

Bdeezy,,,hi

so happy to see you. I haven't gotten any Luminara candles..but I want to. My other battery operated ones don't even work anymore My Christmas angels didn't work either.

I sure miss Linda Dano's shows... she was so creative. I love her rugs and change them out in my living room.

Thank you for the Hi, I"m surprised I saw it Hahahha

If you get any good home finds please let me know.....Your the Best!!!!

Re: SHOPR -

Bdeezy — Sat, 16 Jan 2016 20:54:02 GMT

Hey Booper - I was going to send you a note on Facebook after finding Shopr. Umm, someone posted a $10.00 coupon for Evine today only, soooo you know I had to go use that puppy; can't even remember what I purchased, DAA.

I remember that rug, you sent me a picture and the room was gorgeous!

I walk next Sunday (commencement) and haven't even switched my closet to winter clothes yet. Figure why bother it will be spring soon, but I have to dig something out to wear. LOL

I know your enjoying the winter landscape where you live, the pics are always just beautiful.

Do you mean Candle Impressions stopped on you?

I'm thinking of joining the 'One Day at a Time' thread to help with the shopping, I know it's just filling a void and must STOP! Ahh, I just told a fib. LOL

Only the best to you and your, Dee

Re: SHOPR -

SHOPR — Sun, 17 Jan 2016 17:04:33 GMT

@Bdeezy and @bopper, If either of you can use sage green colored Luminaras, Kohls has some on sale for $23-26, and that is BEFORE the 30% off and free shipping (for Kohls' charge customers). They appear to be the rustic finished ones with the scalloped 360 degree top like QVC sold that are now sold out I think (mentioning @Mominohiohere because I think she loves this candle style, too). They are called Forest color but I think that might be misleading, either that or the picture is way off. I'll find out soon. I just ordered two of the 5" ones and they cost only $16.79 each!

I don't think we are allowed to post any codes here anymore, or any direct links, but the codes are fairly easily found on fatwallet.com's forum if anyone is interested.

I almost forgot to mention that they also have some Luminara window candles and birch candles similarly priced. Well, that's it for my enabling. LOL.

Bdeezy, You are so funny. I like how you bought the LD easel just in case. Some time last year, I typed in Linda Dano on QVC and up popped a trunk set (one was tall with drawers, in houndstooth, I think). I remembered admiring it years ago and couldn't resist ordering it right then. Unfortunately, it went to backorder and I never got it. I do search for her products from time to time, even now, hoping some oldie but goodie pops up.

I hope you two will be around more. Valerie's coming soon!

Take Care.

Re: SHOPR -

bopper — Sun, 17 Jan 2016 22:40:36 GMT

SHOPR thank you for the heads up on the Luminara at Kohl's . I will look for them. I will look for lanterns too. Love lanterns.

Bdeezy yes the CI candles quit working for me! Very disappointed. Congratulation on your commencemet, that's awesome! Spring takes a very long time to get to me! Could be July Hahha...I looked at LD stuff yesterday to see what was left and that easal is still there.

Keep shopping and finding cool stuff!

Regards my friend: The Bop!

Bdeezy — Mon, 18 Jan 2016 11:25:08 GMT

Well, that's our girl....just happened to find afforable Luminra! There is a Kohls near me. You gals will appreciate this: Purchased from Ballard Design's Bunny Wms. turquoise leather pen and pencil holder and matching cachepot (scaled down wine holder) looking thingey w/really nice brace accents on it. So my brain said, let's put a candle in it and tried a luminara votive w/a starch can top on the bottom to make it level with the container. Problem is anyone walking over to it would notice the circumference of the container was to large; so then I pulled a 360 degree solange one from my BR, now that stuck up too high, really needed a 4" height. Long story short (too late), have Dano's candlestick holder set of 3 on a corner fireplace in my BR, which had to now be replaced. Ordered another and change back to the votive, when the 360 arrived didn't need it and returned. Yesterday, rec'd a package and was really excited I couldn't remember what I purchased and BAM the darn candle was back; I put the wrong label on it, DAA.

To my way of thinking, this is a sign from the heavens I may need it in the future! LOL

I can justifiy any purchase, just like Dano's easel behind the sofa in case I move into more square footage, I should live so long.

Tada!

Re: SHOPR -

bopper — Mon, 18 Jan 2016 14:36:55 GMT

I just ordered 2 of the Rooster LTS's today to flank an antique dresser I use in my kitchen...I thought 12.99$ was a good price and decided to buy 2 and then in the fall will put them on my Bay window with my Fall decor. I love roosters.

Glad I found you all here. I love my home decor. It comforts me and bring smiles!

I love linens too but don't have much. Frankly I don't need clothes but I do have a storage issue so even linens take up room. But I need decorative storage, wink, wink...I 'm looking at the Valerie tufted storage bench...

I need cookware too, my pans are not good and my Cooks Essentials have the inside coming off and even the kettle I only boil water in! So what the heck!

I am so wanting to get the new Lanterns coming in February. I missed the last set they sold because I really can't afford them. But I love love love lanterns..and these are big. The largest is 25" tall!

Re: SHOPR -

SHOPR — Mon, 18 Jan 2016 20:12:33 GMT

@Bdeezy, You must surely need that candle that you shipped back to yourself. That's hilarious.

@bopper, Did you get the H201237 roosters? That's such a good deal and I think they'll look great. I want a bigger rooster (I would only have room for one) for an accent table I have in my kitchen. I wanted to buy H204770 by Valerie, but I couldn't decide because of the high price, so I waited, and now it's sold out. With any luck, Valerie will keep on offering things like this so that I can get one eventually.

I need more decorative storage space, too, bopper. I just today finished putting away all my Christmas decorations, either in the closet or in the attic. My spare bedroom (AKA junk room) is still in terrible shape, though, full of stuff that isn't necessarily seasonal, so it doesn't really have a designated space to hide until needed. I get frustrated, walk out, and shut the door. I did keep out on my mantel just a few winter decorations that I'll put away in the closet later on.

I didn't get the TSV lanterns last time, either. They did inspire me to go shopping for more lanterns, though. I bought two different ones from Hobby Lobby, one of which is 27" tall for my porch. I bought some outdoor Luminaras on clearance at the time from Bed Bath & Beyond and Brookstone to use with them. So I got lantern fever all over again with the last TSV. I am hoping I don't catch the fever this time in February, because I do not need another lantern!

Re: SHOPR -

SHOPR — Mon, 18 Jan 2016 20:13:39 GMT

Everyone, I just looked on BB&B website for the outdoor candles I bought on clearance in the past, and they are sold out, but OMG the Luminara Churchill Lantern is only $29.99. That is a crazy good price. Wonder why it's marked down so low?

I hope all of our lantern lovers here see this. I will page/mention those from a couple of the lantern lovers threads of the past. I know I'm forgetting some folks but hopefully those interested will see:

SHOPR I did get the lunch time special roosters today . Is that what you are referring too? I bought 2 to flank my antique dresser I use in the kitchen. I thought in the Fall I can put them on the Bay window with my fall stuff. I have wanted forever Valeries Rooster lamp with the nightlight in the bottom and it never came back in stock. I also looked at BB&B at the lantern for 29$ and put it in my car. Haven't checked out yet though.

OUr shopping here is so limited, No BB&B nor Hobby Lobby ...so I have to count on shopping online. Thank you for the info. I'll keep you posted as to if I find anything too

@SHOPR that's a great price. I am trying to cut back on my candle stash. Thanks for the heads up.

Did you see that last year's luminara lantern TSV is being repeated next month? I thought they said the next time they offered them, they would make the candle removable? They didn't. They added a new color though, slate blue.

Re: SHOPR -

SHOPR — Mon, 18 Jan 2016 20:56:16 GMT

@bopper, Is this your rooster?

This is the larger one that I wanted but didn't get.

I have to usually order things from basically everywhere, so I understand. No good stores are very close.

@GCR18, I noticed that the TSV is going to be a repeat but I didn't realize they had said they'd make the candle removable. In my paper copy of the Insider, the slate looks sort of seafoam or turquoise. I will be passing, but I think it's a nice looking lantern. I just don't need any more unless a unique one comes along that I can't resist.

@SHOPR TY for the heads up! I haven't been in the 'home/holiday' forums for quite awhile...

I did happen to see that VPH will have shows on Wednesday and there will be gardening shows tomorrow...so that I am excited about in this winter dulldrums period.

Thankfully for the most part I have been keeping busy refreshing the home with purging/shampooing carpets/cleaning all our art glass pieces/ and already decorated for Spring/Summer.

Next week I start to sow seeds and DH has already started assembling our set up with the grow lights.

I made a New Year's resolution not to buy 1 more piece of decor this year and only enjoy all the shows. I REALLY want to do this...seriously!

As for the Luminara Churchill Lanterns, we already have 4...2 black, 2 cream...and then I also got those TSV Luminara lanterns...2 sizes in the red...so we have plenty.

Hope all is well with you! Hopefully by the end of this week or the weekend I'll catch up with all the threads here

@SHOPR I have the rooster at the top, got him last fall. He is really nice and well worth the original price and a steal at LQ price.

Re: SHOPR -

Bdeezy — Mon, 18 Jan 2016 21:01:58 GMT

Well, thanks for this PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT!

There is a 4" difference in height compared to the Churchill at the Q. 3% cashback w/Mr. Rebates. Just have to find something else for free shipping to make the $49.00 for it. Like that will be a task. LOL

Really wanted the height because it is going on a table with geraniums and hanging vine something or other I like to add to the pot, but at this price who cares.

Shopr - if you come across an outdoor black finish inexpensive table, let me know. I have faith in ya kid. The one I purchased from Walmart is too small, the flower pot I finally got was just about the circumference of the table. I had a light feature hanging on for dear life next to it, which I knocked over and broke while taking out the garbage. I got so many compliments on the look from neighbors. I'll just pass this little table on to one of my twins. Tada!

Re: SHOPR -

SHOPR — Mon, 18 Jan 2016 21:05:14 GMT

@Susan Louise I've also been itching to start some tomato seeds. I love home grown tomatoes and they seem to take forever to bear, so the sooner I get started, hopefully the better for me. ;-)
