Holiday

[sfnative]

Man, did I miss something today!!!  Was having an epidural, which isn't at all as fun as watching a Valerie show and hoping there will be angels and deer and snow flakes.

Thanks to whoever mentioned the September show(s)!

(Just spent 200 bucks on chi-chi yarn to make a sweater for my daughter's birthday next month, so I probably should not have watched the show anyway.  LOL!)

Congrats to all!

I bought Valerie's sitting and standing antiqued deer, H212444.  They're on 6 Easy Pays with Free Shipping!  Can't beat that deal!

@TenderMercies  I thought the deer looked good and I was tempted but passed.  I have my eye on some at P1 and don't need any more deer for sure.  The silver was what I would expect you to get.  They will look great with all of that wintry white.  Hope you love them.

@lucymo Which P1 deer are you sizing up?  I just looked and could find about 3 sets I could see you getting.

---

@TenderMercies  The grey deer. the leafy antler and the one with candle holders. They are pricey so I will choose, not get all of them.  I am leaning toward the candle holder one.  What do you think about them?

I bought the set of large gift bags.

I'm going to run to HL today and see if I can find anything similar to what I saw last night.  I would like the picks with clear crystals.  I'm also going to check out the Dollar Store for more sets of the glittered snowflakes.  My tree really sparkled last year with them.

@Georgiagrama  Yes, we are a band of 'hoarders' and QVC and lots of other retailers love us.  Just please yourself as to the use of all of your decor.  I love to decorate and especially with a few new pieces mixed in with the old. Enjoy.

@lucymo The grey and leafy antler deer were two of the ones I guessed you were looking at.  I like this candle one, too.  I think the antler leaf ones are the most interesting choice.  They are unique and majestic looking.  The gray ones are also so unique because of the fur texture, although the sitting deer's fur looks a bit odd around its rump.  Maybe it's just the way the photo was taken?  My only issue with the candle deer is that metal base attached.  I realize it's probably a safety necessity because of the candles, but I immediately shy away from deer that have any kind of base attached to them for some reason.  It is so tall, and the fact that it is wood is a huge plus, though.  Personally, I think you should get the candle one and the standing ones from the other two sets!!

@TenderMercies  My thoughts, exactly, great minds.    I definitely prefer the standing ones.  They are all very large and unlike most of what I already have.  I bought a large set from Cracker Barrel last year in silver so will go with the leafy antler first over the gray one because of that set. I do love the candle one but that leafy one just speaks to me.

Thanks for your input, appreciate you.

I am shocking myself!  I haven't caved for one thing...yet, that is.

Same here @homedecor1, my UPS driver won't know what to think in a few days when he zooms right past our house! lol

I have so far ONLY caved on the new BL window lights. I bought 4 sets. All through July and up until now, nothing.

But my UPS driver has been delivering though since we recently moved. I bought a bunch of new furniture!

[Snicks1]

I caved, this morning, and ordered the couple items I had on my wish list. H209598 the cardinal frosted glass vase with micro lights, and H210473 BL mixed greens pre-lit holiday swag (as is). Hope I like them and hope I don't order anything else, lol.

@Georgiagrama  I have ideas about what I want to do in decorating, but it isn't until I begin that my creativity comes out.  Things just seem to find their place as I go along, sometimes not at all what I had planned, so don't believe that you have lost your creativity, just get going and you will amaze yourself.

I bought two sets of the window candles, I have valeries and really like them but wanted to try these since the batteries last so long. We have eight windows that face two different streets so I thought those would the windows I would put them in. Also am really curious about how he said the light would look from an upstairs window, he said it would be better so we will see. I will put valeries in other windows and keep some as spare. I also ordered the sisal deer and two sets of the faceted picks. I am thinking about the mercury glass tree, not sure yet. I ordered two set of the mercury glass  light strand for fall, not sure who makes it. one in each color and One Becca highlightner in moonstone LOL that is all for now.
