How many “sweets” can be contained in one VPH presentation?

I like VPH just fine. Have bought many of her products. But Val, soooo tired of EVERY description of EVERY item being described as “sweet”. Get a thesaurus.

Similar to the temp-tation's vendor...........every thing - every stinking thing is so............stinking cute.

These people have absolutely no imagination.

Unless I'm shopping for a young child, I don't want anything that can be described as sweet or cute.

I always enjoy VPH with Alberti and MaryBeth.

Quality has gone downhill the last few years and the prices keep climbing. Not to mention $5.50 to ship one item. I can get similar decor in Home Goods, Kirklands, or Christmas Tree Shoppes for a fraction of the price.

@ChillyTulip. I agree I don’t buy any of that stuff from the Q

That pretty much what her stuff is. There are so many words one can use

Yeah I had to turn the show off. It was putting me into a diabetic coma.

Alberti should stick to working with Val and please refrain from any future Gourmet Holiday shows.

"Sweet" is Valerie's whole persona. It makes sense that she sells sweet things.

Not a fan either--and do not need any dust catching "sweet" junk!! Just got rid of a bunch. Same with the yard junk too---good grief!!

Cloyingly sweet, nauseating.

I think Valerie could put a sweet spin on anything, even the Poopin' Moose!

I find Valerie's Shows such a pleasant change of pace....I enjoy her home decor shows.....

Better than seeing redundant beauty shows with before and after photos that look the same, and the vendor and models that look greasy....

Kitchen/Food--Tired of seeing hosts talk with their mouthful when sampling prepared food, and showing that ole Kitchen Aid mixer, Copper Chef pans, and Vitamix blender......

And I bet everyone is sitting on the edge of their seat watching yet another vacuum demonstration, or if that's too exciting there's always that humidifier demo

Yep, I'll take Valerie Parr Hill any day--- And yes she does have a sweet personality...a lot better than some silly, screaming, annoying hosts/vendors....

I like Valerie's shows. I enjoy her set designs and decor commentary. And I own many of her items purchased

throughout many years.

But I wish she would direct her decor designs away from so many illuminated, shiny items. She did have some natural looking items this visit, but would like to see more made from natural, woodlike material.

I enjoy the VPH shows very much, and I have some of her items throughout my home. I enjoy what I have very much.

I don't like to prowl through stores much, so paying $5.00 to have a pretty item hand delivered to me is well worth it.

I pick, and choose selectively. The majority of her shows are relaxing for me to watch.

@ChillyTulip

You are so right! I have some really beautiful items from Valerie that I bought many years ago. One is a set of 3 Christmas angels, each is playing a horn. They are attached to a heavy base by a metal dowel at 3 different heights. I also have 2 beautiful large carved swans, much larger than the newer set. The angels and the swans are heavy and look like they were carved in wood. They are not wood, but just as nice.

Now her pieces are things like the mercury glass. Quite a difference from what she once sold.
