My Belleek and waterford get used. I have Waterford Hurricane Lamps with my flameless candles in them and they are enjoyed every evening. I have various Belleek pieces, some are seasonal so they do get put away - do you also dislike Christmas trees and decorations? Most of my Belleek is out all the time in use with flowers or fruit or sweetener packets, other pieces are used regularly with the added benefit of being beautiful to look at even when not being used.

The Irish shows (St. Patrick's Day and Rose of Tealee) are the only two days that I make a concerted effort to watch - and buy. I'm not Irish, but love beautiful, handcrafted or at least not mass-produced, things. There are many items and theme days on QVC that don't interest me and that's ok. I think it's important for QVC to offer a variety of products to hopefully offer something for everyone.

None of my Belleek sits in a cabinet. It gets used on a daily basis. My Waterford glasses we use daily too. I always display a bouquet of flowers on the dining room table in a Waterford vase.

Coffee in the morning I drink from a Belleek mug and in the afternoon, I have tea in a Belleek mug. To each his own....

Exactly. I use my Belleek and Waterford too.

I have a friend who collects Belleek and I sent her a gift from yesterday's show.

Also bought the TSV.

Love the Irish shows!

The TSV was lovely. Wear it in good health!

I enjoyed yesterday's programming too.

I use my Waterford and Belleek almost daily. Life is too short to let things sit in a china cabinet and collect dust.

I like some of the items, but wish they'd offer some before St. Patrick's Day!

[esmerelda]

Moonlady...I thought the same thing! Wouldn't it be nice to use some new Beleek on your table that day or wear a new Irish sweater or jewerly that day.

They ought to consider doing it sometime in February.

[Topaz Gem]

You can buy during Rose of Tralee which is in September (I believe) and then you'll have it to use on St. Patrick's Day.

Good point.
