Do any you remember LInda Dano home collection?...

CAMOGIRL — Sun, 14 Aug 2016 18:55:30 GMT

Pretty ugly out, so I have just been puttering around and moving a few things around the house... I have a few pieces from Linda Dano, remember her?, they are all made exceptionally good and well worth the price. She actually had some nice things now that I think about it. I have a leather trunk, a leather ottoman, a painted handled tray, and a stack of book boxes of hers. I had eyed a few of her other items, but never ordered them. She was a quirky lady but her decorating tips were usually good. And, her items were a little different than the same old stuff.

She had a fabulous paisley rug that I never got around to ordering and then it was gone. She did have some really nice things. I remember she ended her line, saying something like she didn't think she could continue to meet her standards but would be back to QVC with something else. That hasn't happened, but I wish it had. I do remember her and her excellent work.

I wasn't able to buy anything at the time she was on QVC but I certainly wanted to. I liked her line!

Have a brown and tan paisley area rug that still looks great. For about $125 I saved myself not having to buy new carpet. Some things she brought to QVC were not at all my style, but there were things I absolutely loved.

I wanted that rug in the blue and brown paisley. It was fabulous!

I've seen the blue paisley rug at a neighbor's home and it is such a pretty color -- almost like a light teal.

Absolutely remember: the little red " leather " round drum table with hidden tray top is right beside my chair.

She had such style and useful items !!!!

I more remember Linda Dano with her great accessories shows. I wasn't drawn much to her home goods.

She lost her DH rather suddenly I think, and her association with QVC and her soap opera roles ended fairly soon after.

I enjoyed her acting and her personal accessories. I think she moved away from clothing/jewelry into home decorating items before disappearing altogether.

I liked her so much.

A lot of things weren't my taste, but she seemed like she had quality items at decent prices.

I miss Linda Dano, she had some nice things.. Followed her for about 30 years, she always had great decorating advice and style. She was not the same after the loss of her DH and shortly after I believe she lost her brother.

I'm counting seven items in this room that are from her home collection. Like others have said already, some things were not of interest to me, but when one of her items grabbed my attention, I had to have it. I have no regrets with those purchases.

She was fun to watch. :-)

I'm not sure about the loss of her brother, but I do know that her friend and business partner, I believe her name was Vivian, passed away very shortly after Linda lost her dear husband.

I know that Linda mentioned that she suffered from depression and I believe those two losses so close together just took the wind out of her sail.

I still miss her presentations. She was quite knowledgeable about fashion and home decor.
