Valerie's fb sneak peek said H514884 mercury glass rose bowls came in an 8" or two 6" or three 4.5". I am not seeing the set of three 4.5" as an option.

The lavender picks are darker than they appear in fb sneak peek. They are used on the fireplace mantel on set with the purple big deal hurricanes.

i can't find the 3.5 inch fluted mercury glass rose bowl set of 3, either

Perhaps they missed the boat

[SactoSue]

VPH FB says the set of 3 4.5inch mercury glass rose illuminated rose bowls are available under the same item number, but they are not showing up on the listing

You have to call item # H513884

I notice they have not been presented yet.  I'm thinking there is a reason they are not on the site.

If you want them, you should probably call in,

I have to say the larger bowls in Orange really look great.

Valerie’s prices have soared while the quality has plummeted. I’ve shopped her line for 15 years, and while I’ll pay for excellence, I won’t pay for recycled designs and declining craftsmanship. I genuinely hope she retires and hands the reins to someone with sharper taste and a fresher eye. She seems lovely, and this isn’t personal, it’s business. The brand no longer delivers innovation or quality. Every release feels like a rehash of what’s come before. I wish her well, but it’s time to pass the torch.

I'm still really enjoying Valerie's designs and colors.  I find that her products are a good price when you compare with brand-name stores.

You might want to look at Simply Stunning by Janine Graffiti.  She has a more contemporary vibe and really nice items.  They are very similar in price to Valerie's products.

@SactoSue  I own a couple of Janine's items, and I believe her taste and style is closer aligned with mine than Valerie's. I still find most of Janine's items a little bland and very much like the stuff you can find in home stores. I'd say that QVC should hire an in house designer, but they did that with Carrie Locklyn for Home Reflections and her designers are even less appealing to me than Valerie's.

@Susan Louise , did you see the spheres that have the leaves similar to our votives? I like those a lot! : smileyhappy:

Hello @Tissyanne 

Yes, I saw the spheres and they are really nice, but I just don't need them. If you order any, enjoy!

A few weeks ago I ordered 2 more sets of the leaves votives. My 1st 2 sets were the plum & teal. A couple of weeks later I ordered a set each of the amber & gold. I'm glad I did because I see the gold set is sold out.

When I finish decorating in another week or so, I'll post pics of how I decorated with all 4 colors of the votives.

Although I don't plan to buy anymore of Valerie's decor this year, I did just place an order for one more set of the onyx BL Big Deal oil lamps. The Big Deal price ends tonight and I wanted to order before they sold out. I plan on giving them as gifts for two angels...my hairdresser & my dental hygientist for Christmas.

And before I forget, I want to pass on an FYI to you and others who had ordered the leaves votives before today when the price dropped to $37.98. Don't forget to call CS and get a price adjustment of $6.02 for each set ordered.

I had received the refund for all 4 of my votive orders (I asked for a QVC member credit for each) and applied the $24.08 toward the onyx BL oil lamp set, so it worked out well.

Hi.  I'm watching now and really like the leaves hurricane in the plum and teal, but I'm not buying anything today.    I'm just enjoying the show
