Rose of Tralee Celebration

ShowMe — Wed, 02 Sep 2015 01:37:09 GMT

Is this coming Thursday, Sept. 3, starting at midnight (eastern). Hope you will join in on the thread that I will be starting shortly before midnight. Always try to have a thread going for this special day, as well as St. Patrick's Day. It is not for all day, so check your Program Guide for the times......

There are many beautiful things they wiil be offering us. Got my e-mail from the Q today.....

Please come and join the fun we have.....

Years ago when they started this program I loved watching all day long. I bought several large crystal vases. Wonderful sweaters and shawls....etc.

But as time went by they turned into a religious program. Ireland is more than that.

I no longer watch.

@ShowMe I'm looking forward to all the shows! I already bought an Irish sweater in the new color 'wine' A259709 (already have it in parsnip and gray)...

Sadly they have cut these shows to only a few hours during that day...I wonder who made that decision....the Q. or our friends from Ireland...

Having Quacker Factory as the TSV, on that day, does not seem a good fit...why have Bling as the TSV ...followed by beautiful Irish clothing...

Frankly I am dissappointed....however I will still watch our freinds from Ireland...

Hello, Showme, I always really enjoy the Irish shows and hope I see something new, for myself or to set aside as a holiday gift. I'm not too hopeful, though. I don't care for the jewelry so much and in the preview the selection of Belleek and Waterford or other crystal seemed a bit limited. I do like one of the cardigans and will hope for a special event price.

I'll be watching, @ShowMe! I miss the way the shows were presented in years past, though, being all day long and offering more products. Thanks for the reminder!

I'm sure this was QVC's decision. That nice Connemara marble man would love to have this show on all day again. That said. The Q is under new management and these are the time slots they got. Let's be happy with that and enjoy.

I love this show every year as I do the other Irish Day.... but I'm very disappointed that everything I saw on my "preview" are items that seem to be left over from the other shows, or the same items (like the perfume) just replenished.

Everything is on sale as well as though they are trying to sell most of the inventory and wind down from this presentation. Maybe they'll only be presenting one Irish show from now on. Anyway.... I love the shows, will watch but don't see anything new and exciting... I was actually interested in another long sweater with a hood, but don't see that one.....

I would be estatic if they offered the "Cottage" Industries again. I have a stool from years ago that is exceptional! That's the kind of thing I'm after as well.....

I wish I could watch, but I'll be out of town.

Years ago on these boards, I said that the Irish vendors had been given a warning that their time on QVC is running out. Within a few years, I think they'll be history.

@Blahblahvampemer I rarely came to these boards years ago so I never saw your post. How do you know they were warned?

Just fyi, there is a thread on Q Talk posted by Irish Insights (Stephen and the gang) on which they will be chatting and have asked for questions.

The reduced hours were the warning along with the smaller quantities that were ordered. To look at where your brand is headed, look at what has happened with the others. According to a former vendor of many years, QVC is dropping even popular items because they want to get rid of entire categories.

There is a little difference in the time I will be starting the thread for Rose of Tralee...... Since Quacker Factory is the TSV, they will be on a whole hour before the Irish folks......so, I will be starting the thread an hour later than I said at the beginning of this thread. Will start it a little before 1:00 am (eastern time)...... But, I will try to stay on for at least the first hour, but then I will have to go to bed. I know many of you know that I have been under going chemo treatments, and I usually don't stay up past 10:00 pm (central)....... As my rest is very important right now.

But, hope that we will be able to have some fun.

I have no idea what the Q is thinking when they schedule things like this, but it does take away some of the fun. Can't imagine the Irish folks are happy about this whole thing.

I see where some of you have already either purchased something or know what you would like to purchase. I have my eyes on the over the shoulder pullover merino wool sweater, but not sure which color I am liking. Will have to wait to see it.

Ok, need to get a bit of dinner now. And may take a nap......see you all later on the new thread I will be starting.

@ShowMe No need to stay awake. W\hy not just continue this thread...we have already been discussing Rose of Tralee here. Just continue on.....

Re: Rose of Tralee Celebration

ShowMe — Thu, 03 Sep 2015 02:22:01 GMT

OK, THE LATER IT IS GETTING, the better I am liking Pearlee's suggestion of keeping this thread instead of starting a new one just for the show....

So, this one it is. And, the later it is getting, the more I am thinking I won't be on here very late at all. I am very tired tonight. It was only yesterday that I had a chemo treatment, and boy it sure hits me for a few days afterwards. Get very tired very easily.......I know this, and do try to take it easy the first 2 days after a treatment.......

I promise I will be on here in the morning sometime.....not when QF shows are on.......

ShowMe, I will be in my bed watching since Quacker Factory is on first. I just don't think I can sit out here tonight this leg is really telling me it is in charge of my life. By the way we do enjoy talking about you here and how good you are doing going through all that you are. It is always a question " well did the ShowMe lady check in today?'' I agree that you need your rest and the Q really messed up on this program. Wonder how many people they think are going to hang in here on the east coast till 1am? As i said i will watch from my bedroom. Hope that you get a good nights rest and I will check in here in the morning to see if you are here. Good night to you and God bless and watch over you always.

Pearlee good idea to just keep this going here. Most of the ones who are interested in this show are reading here hopefully.

Re: Rose of Tralee Celebration

Pearlee — Thu, 03 Sep 2015 02:53:20 GMT

@cater Cater, this thread will keep getting bumped up by people posting, so I'm sure those interested in R of T will see it.

@ShowMe Go get some rest, and please do take good care of yourself. That's much more important than Rose of Tralee!
