Re: No interest in buying Irish stuff

Hi ShowMe.....wanted to let you know that I did try one of the Irish sweaters. I already received it as it was not new and while I was able to wear merino wool without itching, it was not flattering and just cut too big. Oh well....it least I know now not to order those anymore. I asked my husband's opinion and he said, well.....it looks very warm. {#emotions_dlg.laugh}

Gave all of my WOOL sweaters away~~which is very irritating to my sensitive skin. Winter is almost over~~a 100% wool offer in March is odd, even for QVC.

QVC has offered these 100% merino wool sweaters every St Paddy's day since they started them!

Sorry about that found......maybe if you went down a size it would look better..... I really do like all the sweaters I have purchased.

Is that really all your DH said????........LOL

One might as you who buys all the Chinese ""stuff"" that's sold the rest of the year?

I'm not interested either, and have never watched, but I think a lot of people really love this event so it's not for me to say. Smiley Happy

I kind of like that basketweave baker that they showed yesterday morning on David's show but I really don't need any more bakers. I like that they have one without the shamrocks on it.

I am very interested.....the Irish make some very beautiful things......and have to say that everything I have ever purchased made in Ireland I have been very pleased with......

I purchased that baketweave baker last night when presented. I like the shamrocks....as I have the basketweave tea service I received from my sister when she went to Ireland. She gave me a Belleek Christmas that year.

I hope you love the baker! If I could have, in any way, justified it I would have gotten the one without the shamrocks. I love the understated nature of the basketweave design and find it very attractive. But I'm up to my armpits in my older Pyroceram Corning Ware French White and Black, plus I have several pieces of Fiesta and Le Creuset. *sigh* I shall abstain, but I hope you love yours! Look forward to hearing about it.

Hey, if you on the fence about ordering the TSV, they will be making their final presentation in a little bit........it is really a beautiful sweater.

I hope I do too. I too have a number of Corning Ware pieces I have owned since 1961.....and through the years.......but since I collect Belleek, thought this would be a nice piece that I could use on small casseroles......

Re: No interest in buying Irish stuff

I have the baker Showme, and it's one of my favorite pieces. It performs beautifully and cleans up like a breeze. I have the oval covered piece as well and between those two pieces, I could pretty much toss everything I have cause I only use the other stuff if I'm making more than can be done in my 2 belleek pieces.

Re: No interest in buying Irish stuff

I admire the Irish sweaters from afar. I can't wear wool. Even Merino. It itches me terribly and our season for wool is way too short here. This year we had pretty much no days cold enough for a heavy wool sweater.

I'm Irish and although I don't watch all day, it's nice they have these shows on St Pat's Day. I have picked up a couple of nice jewelry pieces. Wearing a Connemara marble shamrock necklace right now!
