@mousiegirl wrote:@SHOPR @lucymo I think my deer are albinos, LOL.
@mousiegirl Really? Aren't albinos white? I think mine get more silver with each passing day. What little gold was on them seems to not show up now. It may be because I have them parked next to some gold deer. What does Confucius say about that, I wonder. 
@lucymoand anyone else interested....
Well let me tell you about my shopping expedition ----We went to Home Depot, Walmart, Target, Michaels, Lowes, and Hobby Lobby...........after all that, no tree, just a wreath and a ribbon to make a bow for the wreath.....
Very very few 6 ft or 6.5 ft trees available......and the ones they had were pretty scrawny....some weren't even pre-lighted.....Now I know why people purchase their trees from QVC ---- Although those at QVC are much more expensive---the 7ft and 7.5 trees at Michaels, Lowes, and Home Depot were just as nice as QVC's and even had all the bells and whistles (pole in lighting, option to change color of lights etc etc) and much cheaper than QVC's......Anyway so far my sis is still contemplating and she thinks the 7 ft one at Michaels is a "possibility".......
Hobby Lobby's trees were a tad pricey.....and not what she wanted but folks this is THE PLACE TO GO---every type of Christmas style is available, from traditional to woodsy, to elegant gold or silver, to pastel colors---they just have it all---so many wonderful things---lots of mercury glass (trees, deer, angels)---they had Santas, nativities, snowmen, nutcrackers......all kinds of different glass ornaments in boxes---plus all those ornaments hanging by the trees, and bottle brush trees of various kinds---some just like they sold on QVC with traditional Christmas colors and also Silver/white ones, and pastel too..Hobby Lobby is a Decorator's Paradise.... I actually did not buy a thing....I think I will go back on my own when I can shop more leisurely and take my time---there were several things I'm contemplating a couple of bottle brush trees and a small cardboard winter wonderland house to go with my Valerie village..... Michaels did have some nice things too....
There was something strange at Target they still had a vast collection of extensive Halloween decor there.....very very little Christmas things out so far---no trees---no ornaments---over by the small appliances they had a sparse display with a few glass tree accents on a table , some Christmas pillows, and holiday linens but that was all---a little strange since its getting late in the season and other retailers are all in for Christmas decorating.....This is a Super Target, very busy, always crowded....perhaps Targets stuff is stuck on that ship owned by the shipping company that went bankrupt......

@Spurt I'm glad you stayed strong as Christmas decor is 50% off this week, another 10% helps some. I am overwhelmed at HL this year as I think it's probably the best inventory I've seen there.
I do hope your sister finds the tree she's looking for. Trees are hard to find with all the things most of us are looking for. I need a new 7 1/2 ft tree but think I'll try to get by another year with the one I have.
Hope when you go back to HL you find some good things. I can't believe Target didn't have theirs out. I haven't gone to ours yet but they usually have a very large display area. Maybe they are having 'cash flow' problems too.

The shopping expedition was quite a work out---LOL!!! I think we might've gone to Pier 1 and another decor store just to look at garland and ornaments if it wasn't for NBA Spurs game that started at 7:30 PM--- But I told her to get the tree while they were on sale---Michael's had their trees 50% off!!! She is just too picky---you aren't going to get everything---she wants incandescent lights not LED, clear (but doesnt have to be color changing) she wants it full to me thats a priority.... I got my 7.5 ft at Home Depot---Martha Stewart, light in pole, color changing---it is a bit heavy---but I will live with it..... What's ironic she scolded me for getting a 7.5 ft said we are both getting older and should start down sizing....(hey Im not that old and yes it's taking me longer to do it all), but now she wants a 7 ft or 7.5 because they are nicer and more abundant---go figure---
What's sad is these trees don't last very long either--- I think the ones I've bought lasted 3 or 4 seasons at the most....then hinges give, branches start to sag.....some lights don't light (even though they are supposed to if one bulb goes out)---before you know it time to get another one....
I agree Hobby Lobby had a spectacular inventory this year!!!! --- such variety and so many unique things --- or perhaps it just appears more because QVC has been so limited in their selections/offerings---

@lucymo Well, yes white, but since mine are so much lighter than yours and the site pictures, they missed some pigment somewhere down the line, lol.
I noticed more silver in mine yesterday. I don't decorate with silver, but guess I will have to begin, because, and don't ask me why, I am confused, I ordered silver deer this year, what was I thinking, I have no idea, and no idea of where to put them. I do have a tiny spot in the kitchen away from everything else, but nowhere else would they fit in. One day, there may be the perfect spot.
