I just snapped up a set of the gold Reindeer in 'as is'.  This is 'deer' madness for me. LOL

 


Great, @lucymo!  Hope we get good ones. 


 

I hope so too.  I wonder how people sent them back and they have made to as is so fast.  I have pretty good luck with 'as is' and since they aren't lit we don't have to worry about that. I am just 'deer' crazy but I guess that's better than being 'dear' crazy.  lol

@SHOPR That's so funny how they became such an obsession all the sudden.  Too bad we didn't all jump on them when Lucy let me know via Valerie's sneak peak.  Guess we were all in the "I'm not buying anything mode".  Didn't last long did it???  LOL  

 

@lucymo Be sure to let us know when you get the ornament cone trees.  I have seen the wreaths pop in and out too but I'm staying strong after your advice.  I hope the trees are better and you love them.

@MTH  These are the ornament cone trees with the acrylic open weave containers.  I do have an ornament tree that will be here tomorrow and if it's too bad, I'll just return.  I know the wreaths have a lot of open areas as it's really obvious in the pictures.  I'll post back when I receive the trees.

@MTH  Today I received the Reindeer Pedestals with candle, H208848. I really like them and couldn't find anything to fuss about.  Checking timers now.  They have a really nice satin finish with the glittered collar. I'll probably remove the bell, it's a little chintzy.

 

I also received the Glittered Faceted Drop Candle Rings H208717.  Mine are really nice  and I think they will look great when all fluffed up with a candle.  I haven't put them on a holder yet just fluffed them a bit.

 


My candle rings are much improved since when I first opened them.  I do believe that the excessive heat in the UPS truck was responsible for them being sticky and dull.  I can't imagine getting candles delivered in this heat!  They'd be was lumps.  The boxes delivered this week were actually hot to the touch.

 


@Buck-i-Nana  I'm with you I don't know why QVC can't do "advanced orders" for candles like they do for food, and not ship out candles during the hot summer months!!!  One time I did order a Yankee Candle and we got an early hot spell and the candle was somewhat melted when it arrived.....I don't care what kind of sale they are having I will not order and ship any candle during the summer.  The only way I buy candles is if I go to the store BBW or YC and bring the purchase home in my air conditioned car!!!

 

@MTH  @lucymo  Enjoy all your purchases!!! Woman Very Happy

Re: Received my CIJ purchase today

I received my Jim Shore purchases Woman Very HappyHeartHeartHeart 

 

@SHOPR  In another post you said you ordered the rotating animals with the snowman....I ordered it too, this piece is just absolutately ADORABLE!!!  The details are just wonderful!!!!  I love it!!! I hope your happy with yours too....I may have to do some rearranging of some pieces to give him a prominent place!!!

 

The winter angel with animals was very nicel!!!  Love the angel and her critter friends....she will make a nice piece when Christmas is over and I just want a wintry but not Christmasy scene......

 

The odd thing was the pint sized snowman and pint sized angel.  They came in a large cardboard box with 2 smaller boxes---but the pieces just had styrofoam forms around them with a blue tape that said Jim Shore Heartwood Creek, but there was no usual Heartwood Creek box----since the angel was a gift I'm going to have to find a nicer box to put her in since the box she came in was covered with tons of tape!!!  That pint size snowamn is so CUTE---can't wait to put him out!!!   The pint size angel was very cute and I know my friend will love her!

 

The angel with bells looked like a return the way the pink foam pieces to protect her face and wings were oddly positioned and the tape around the styrofoam protection was yellowed ---  other than that she was in perfect condition!!! Just BEAUTIFUL!!! Such a beautiful face and the details on her gown and garland just wonderfully done!!!

 

I was very happy with my Jim Shore pieces!!!  Woman Very HappyWoman Very Happy  I didn't order anything else---

Graceful Reindeer Figurine Set

 

@MTH  How's this for a different set of deer.  Metal.  $16.99 Zulily.


@lucymo Wow..those are different but I think I like the ones from the Q better.  Not sure what it is about those scroll deer but I may actually like them better than the pedestals....(did I say that out loud????  LOL)


@MTH  I'm now anxious to get the scroll deer that I wasn't interested in.  Smiley Happy   Consider your enabling  successful.  LOL   If they are nicer than the pedestals then I will love them because I think the pedestals are really nice.

@lucymo  They are just different. The scroll work ones are more rustic looking so its hard to compare them in that respect but they are actually larger than the pedestal ones too so they have a nice presence.  I think you will be happy with them.  I'm just curious as to how the gold coloring is compared to the silver.

@Spurt  I'm so happy you love your JS pieces. I didn't get any this time from his show on the Q but there are a few pieces on his website I'm eyeing so I still  may get a piece (or 2) from there at some point.  You mentioned several pieces coming without boxes and I have found that with some of the "pint sized" pieces. They just don't put them in a box anymore.  They come that way even from the JS website.  Some of them actually say there is no box in the descriptions now.  Unfortunate if you want to gift it, but guess they are trying to save money whereever possible.

Re: Received my CIJ purchase today

Just received the 14" illuminated glitter tree by Valerie.  Boy is it nice - and heavy to boot.  Very pretty when it is lit.  Don't know yet where I'll place it but I'm sure I'll figure it out lol.
