I see she's in Italy now, so it seems she'll have some gold over silver jewelry for sale soon, for the holidays.  Just a heads up for anyone who likes her jewelry and wants to keep an eye out.

@chrystaltree- she may be picking up her jewelry orders to save on expensive S&H from Italy....I'm sure we will be seeing those skull bracelets....

      Shipping yes.  But I suspect she picks up the stuff herself because she doesn't want the delay in shipping, she wants the items immediately and she's hand picking what she wants.  She doesn't want pick specific things out and then have them say, there's a delay because they are out of stock.  Also, she loves to travel, we all know that.  Now she gets to travel and write it off as a business expense.  I'm friendly with a woman here in twon who has a small boutique, she's only open 3 days a week.  She buys her things from NYC and she always loads up her car and brings them back with her, she's small scale and can do that and there's no wait.

@chrystaltree- you are probably right and I am sure her recent Japan trip was vendor sponsored....she does know how to treat herself!

@shell garden The Nativity set is on the Family Christian site for 42 or 43 I think. People on her FB page are finding some of the items. I agree, they are very beautiful.

@proudlyfromNJ.....really?  Well, I just gave Lisa a raise, lol.  I am sure there are many things she will sell that you can get elsewhere, like those lighted candles, so....I have to be a little more thrifty, and that is why I have only ordered this one thing from her. HA HA.

@shell gardenwow. Great attitude. Paying too much but still happy with your purchase. 

I guess I would feel duped. Just sayin'.

@mil3  Thank you so much for finding this information!

Beware of LR merchandise.  I read today that you must pay for return shipping , even if the item arrives broken.   Not a good way to treat your customers.

Hmmm, I dropped in to shop a gift boutique in my area to see their Christmas displays, which were absolutely exquisite.  I could have easily dropped several hundred in less than a half an hour.  I noticed there were the Melrose Deer with Woodland Friends figurines in several configurations including the two LR had to offer -- none were more than $12.99.  LR was asking $54 for two, which have sold out.  Oh my, my . . . it pays to shop around.  Maybe LR has a set-up where she advertises the goods and not just sells.  That way she gets a kickback for increased sales on other sites, you know subtle-like advertisement.  After all, the Nativity figurine, as well as other items, sold out on other sites right after LR posted.  Just a thought.

I would like to thank RazorSharp for pointing me to Two's Company for the starburst ornament.  Your handle is apropos.

@qwarkster Did you order a starburst?  I got one in 13.5 inches.  I'm very happy with it, and I plan to use it as a tree topper.

Good Sunday Morning! I just wanted to pass along info about the Melrose Woodland Deer.......they can be purchased at Bellacor in different colorations and heights, and also at Hayneedle. There are some sites with 15% off and free shipping. Hope this helps!

@qwarkster - I just checked out the two's company and they don't have a retailer near me....sigh.  Then I had the brilliant idea to put their description in google and found them for sale individually on a site shopwildthings dot com.  They have them in gold and silver.

I have no experience with that on-line retailer, but I'm tempted.  I love those starbursts.

ETA - went back and found @RazorSharp 's post and saw it was also on Amazon.  Took me some hunting and refining but finally found them.  I get very frustrated with Amazon sometimes, I must be doing something wrong because I get so much really unrelated junk comes up in my searches and other things that should show up don't.
