I saw the candle rings shown (not a real presentation, but definitely shown) earlier today. I got a fair look at them, and I think it was during the pedestals and s/3 embossed candles. I haven't had time yet to go back and view the 2-hr show videos, if they have posted, but, I really think QVC has put up the napkin ring photos instead of the candle ring photos. Look at the size of the berries and gems compared to the size of the ring opening. That is why I think they are the napkin ring photos. They have done this before with similar items. What do you think?

OK, I just looked again, and the photos have been changed. I think they are correct now. Take another look if you are still interested in the candle rings.

@SHOPR

I didn't see before the photo changes, but mistakes with photos have been previously done.
The colors are not what I wanted, but I'm going to watch the show this evening, and maybe they will look different.
You are right, they do look Victorian-ish in colors. Edited: meant to say vintage, I guess it depends on how far to go back in time, lol.

I watched this evening, too. I suppose I will also be passing on the champagne candle rings. I don't think I would like the brighter, lighter green tape, and while I like blush and pink, I'm not a fan of mauve, which Jill mentioned when describing them. Still undecided on the red set, only because it is not something I just have to have. I do think it's pretty.

The southern shopping network has a decor show coming up at 9:00PM Easter Slandered Time if anyone is interested. They have new stuff from their own line. Some of the stuff looks interesting. I'm interested in their fiber optic throw pillows.

LOL you took me by surprise with this out of the blue. Thanks for the laugh, @PeterDM.

Oh, and thanks for the notice. I had no idea. I haven't watched HSN in ages. I will check it out, if I can stay awake.

@SHOPR Well, as usual, I had to miss tonights show and of course they presented the candle rings. From the description you said Jill gave, I'll return as 'not as described'. Where is the champagne/gold? I envisioned those colors but nothing like that and they locked the order early today so I couldn't cancel. I don't use red in my decor so that one doesn't interest me but the blue and red are better than the one they passed off as champagne/gold.

ETA. I just went back on my order status and was able to cancel the candle rings. Earlier today I tried all of the cancel options and none would work but tonight I could and I did.

@lucymo, How strange, but good for you! I am still considering the red set.

The show was a bit of a whirlwind and over very fast, it seemed to me. The rings didn't get presented, but they were shown in the video for the embossed candles:

@PeterDM, I gave up after 30 minutes of watching. Did you ever see the pillows last night? I watched their online video from a previous airing but I didn't learn much about them except that they all had cream color on them, not white. I considered the dark red pillow set, but didn't realize that the lower (or free) s&h special ended at midnight.

I also liked the Winter Lane lit cookie cutter decorations, especially the plaid gingerbread man, but I think they are probably way overpriced for the quality. I will keep an eye out for any major price reductions, though.

@SHOPR Good morning, SHOPR, thanks for the link. I still can't figure where they came up with the color for the candle rings when there isn't champagne/ gold and they were pairing them with the silver candles. I'm glad I was able to cancel my order, saved me having to return. I'll look around locally for some rings. I did get the set of three rings in the icy ones a few months ago in 'as is'. I like those but was hoping these would work out too.

@SHOPR I only kind of half watched, but I had it on for the whole time. I was cleaning up from cooking. I didn't get the pillows, because I couldn't think of a place where I'd be happy displaying them. The fact that they didn't have a timer and weren't pure white was also an issue. I ended up purchasing the laser pointer that is a mini version of a bliss lights. I'd seen the bliss lights version on their website years ago, and always thought it would be good for indoor use for parties. For $22 and the fact that it runs on AA batteries, I couldn't pass it up. I thought the presentations were awkward and the host didn't seem on the ball. It made me appreciate QVC even more.

@lucymo, I noticed them being paired with the silver pedestals and candles, and even with the silver, they looked, well, purple? Maybe they will be better in person for those who did order them.
