I was just thinking how disappointed I am because Valerie brought such beautiful sets of garlands, wreaths, swags, candle rings and picks this year and this is the year that I a) have a stricter budget than normal and b) already have beautiful greenery from VPH's prior year's offerings to use.  I just cannot justify (and I've tried) buying any more greenery.

I hope that you will post pictures of your new greenery items in use so that I can at least enjoy them vicariously!

Why are these things so tempting? LOL

I need to completely stop looking.  This is said as I repeatedly check as is for the beaded branch picks and post a new question about a swag.

@SHOPR  They are tempting because they are new and pretty good designs and we are acquisitive people who love adding beauty to our homes!

Hmmm.  I really like the frosted berry and leaves garland and wreath but like so many of you don't need a thing!  However...those would be nice because they could be used all winter, not just at Christmas. 

Here's how bad the situation with decor is at our humble abode.  A week or so ago I bought a nice grapevine wreath with ivy, berries, a cardinal, the works on it from JoAnn's.  I have so much stuff it's still sitting in the back of my SUV because I don't know where to store it!  Now that's bad!!!  (LOL).

I know....between Valerie’s offerings and what HL and Joann’s and all the stores have, this time of year is making me crazy 😳arguing with myself as to whether To buy or not ! The problem is, they keep making things more beautiful and or cuter, than last years model 😩

DH is calling  count down to Christmas, count down to bankruptcy 😂

@SHOPR  Those picks and garlands jumped out at me too.  When do we say we have enough garlands, picks and wreaths?  I could stick picks in the ground and fence around all of the cul de sacs in my neighborhood but will probably want these too. Hopefully, I can talk myself out of ordering them as I don't need any more picks.  Valerie has brought some really nice ones this year. I'm a sucker for frosted, icy leaves.

Oh boy, I'm in trouble. I should just go hide in a cave for those two days. I could really do some damage.

@Azcowgirl Your husband is exactly right!!!  I've stayed out of the stores to resist temptation. There's enough temptation right here at QVC.

@Spurt  LOL.  Remember  probably four or five years ago when Lisa Robertson started  the pick craze?  I had some that I had picked up locally at HL and other places but when she and later Valerie  started bringing them in we all  started buying them in mass numbers.  Now, I have two tubs that house candle rings and picks.  I have too many but they are so versatile that I'm able to use a lot.

Spurt, if I decorate the neighborhood I'll post a picture.  LOL
