Received my CIJ purchase today

I advance ordered a few food items, but I also ordered the Irish Nativity set, which arrived today. 

 

I love it. The Connemarra marble base is nice and the nativity pieces are pretty and in a cute box. It's for a friend who collects nativities. No way will she already have this one. 

 

Its on waitlist now, but if you were on the fence about it, I am very pleased with it. I recommend it. 


Why is it, when I have a 50/50 guess at something, I'm always 100% wrong?

I received my Nativity today as well as some Christmas Belleek and a Christmas table runner.  I sent the Nativity to our Grands as well as my nephews' children.  All received them today.

 

We've been to the Connemara factory store and met Stephen Walsh,

@gidgetgh, I love nativity sets.  I bought a new one last year (indoor) which I am looking forward to putting up this year.  We also do a large outdoor scene with concrete figures that is beautiful.  I am ready to pass one a set.  LM

I received my reindeer pedestals today. I ordered the champagne. I was a little worried at first as it was obvious the box was opened previously. Not sure why, as I thought this was a new item, but all is well. Checking the timers today but I love them.

@MTH  my deer are scheduled for Friday delivery via Smart Post.  I'm glad you like yours as I hope I will as well.  

 

Are you getting the TSV trees?  I wish we had the option of clear bulbs for the white.  Maybe I could replace them if I could find the clear on eBay.

@lucymo  I think you will love the deer. I think they look great especially with the champagne on the candle. The candle does have some glitter that scattered on the upper part of the candle, but I may try to wipe it down. If it doesn't all come off, its not enough to bother me. 

 

As far as the TSV, DH made a green one when he was a kid so I have a beautiful one that is super bright and pretty tall.  I was hoping to pick up the white one but I did not buy the TSV mostly because of the lights. They just don't look that bright to me although they say they are "super bright LEDs" and I also think the white one would look much more elegant with clear lights.  I may change my mind at some point,. today, but so far I'm just not sold on it yet.   I didn't go back and read some of the other posts so i hope I'm  not asking something you probably already answered, but did you get the TSV??

I have both colors on order so if I don't cancel I will replace the bulbs with clear in the white.  I'll wait for them to arrive so I can be sure of the size of the bulbs.  I looked and thought most of the colors looked bright enough.  Yours is probably a plug in and they were bright and hot too.  lol  We always put something under ours so as not to ruin the table. Maybe we had too high wattage bulb in it.   I don't know what happened to ours but being a military family and moving, storing a lot, who knows.  We lost a lot of stuff through the years. 

 

Was there a note from QVC in your deer package saying it was opened for quality check?  I have seen that in some of my packages through the years.  I can't wait to see them.

@Marsha2003  You and I are in the same boat.  I won't get anything until Friday, coming by Sure Post.
