St. Patrick’s Day items

I have been watching and ordering items for many years from QVC on St. Patrick's Day. My wife and I really enjoy the airings. However these past two years I haven't seen Belleek and Waterford. It has become mostly a show with Merino wool sweaters with scattered trinkets and Connemara marble items. I really miss the Belleek items. Please bring these back. I know some Belleek items are available on the website, but seeing the items on television is better.

@frank246 The whole St. Patrick's Day "celebration" is not at all what it used to be. I suppose the Belleek and Waterford items didn't sell as well or didn't yield enough of a profit. Maybe they are too expensive to ship. I would love to see those items as well, because I am more likely to buy them instead of a sweater.

ETA: I do have several Connemara marble items (not just jewelry), and I wouldn't mind seeing more of them as well.

Thank you for replying to my post. You may be right about the cost of the Belleek and Waterford being prohibitive to ship. We just enjoyed the show when there were so many different things being offered other than sweaters. I realize some people buy more than one, but my wife has her one beautiful Aran Crafts sweater and does not want another. Also the sweaters are for women, QVC men wear sweaters too and women would buy them for their male loved ones. I guess COVID changed everything, even the St. Patrick's day show. Sheleleighs and Irish cologne used to be offered for sale too. I also want to add that we love the Connemara marble, Kilarney crystal and other jewelry items. In fact, I bought a Connemara rosary and the pot of gold necklace for my wife yesterday.

I agree. Also, I’m not going to buy a merino wool sweater in March.
