@newjerseygirl Yes! I remember both of them. Several months ago I was trying to remember the name of the place where I'd bought a beautiful sweater that was like one you'd find at one of those little boutiques! It was Koos of Course I believe. I remember a lady who had an accent and she would just bring in a few sweaters at a time to show (they weren't mass produced. I must have it somewhere because I never throw anything away. I wish I could send some of you guys some of the 'stuff'' I have so you could use it (I never even wore or used some of it. I did that here maybe (I'm guessing) 6 or so years ago. I'd connected with someone and packed up a huge box of some of everything (none of it used, i.e. makeup, etc). It cost a lot of money for me to send it, but I didn't mind. Anyway, someone else came on and said this person was selling the stuff on Amazon. I said, "No more" I'd rather throw it away. It's the idea of someone selling something I'd given to them. I know it sounds selfish but it bothers me when people do that. If they don't want it, don't take it.
I give a lot of stuff to Salvation Army and Goodwill but I used to sit in line waiting to donate and see the people working there (taking the donations) picking out stuff they want or wanted to sell themselves. That REALLY bothers me that they profit from something others can use. I enjoy giving the stuff away. My daughter says, "Mom, you put strings on it". Maybe I do, but I'd rather have someone who needs it to get it.
If I have a weakness for certain things (clothes and shoes) it's especially real leather coats.
Do you guys remember the lady who used to specialize in leather coats on HSN. Her name is right on the tip of my tongue and I'm too lazy to go look at one of her coats...wait a minute...it was Terri something. She was African American and one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen (could have been a movie star). She made amazing leather gloves to match the coats, I have a soft yellow leather coat of hers, several colors, amazing!
Who are some of the other people we all used to love from QVC? I can't think of them, probably if I looked in my closet.
I'm supposed to be 'downsizing' because I have to move from this house, doesn't make sense to keep it. When my husband died, I didn't travel or buy expensive stuff to deal with his death, I discovered QVC. Ha! Like some of you guys! Ha! My daughter's in-laws travel. They've sailed around the world so many times! Getting ready in January to do it again. Doesn't interest me. When my honey was alive we traveled all over Europe for a month and saw just about everything I wanted to see...and then some...Ha!
I just like watching QVC and coming on here with you guys. I feel like I know you guys. Sometimes I'll say to friends or family..."On the forum someone said, "bla bla" and my son-in-law would say, "Who says that?" Then my daughter says, "That's the website on QVC". Ha!
I have a life doing things with friends too, but I've learned so much coming here from all of you. I like the way people have different ideas about things. I think the only way one can grow their minds is by listening to all sides and keep an open mind....
Anyway, didn't mean for this to be another Annabelle's bla bla...I know I drabble on too much but you guys always indulge me! Ha!
Name some of the other people we used to see on QVC. One good thing about this time of year I get to see sweet Lori (who sells the apples). She used to be a Hostess. She was so sweet and soft spoken.
