I am inspired to go to Pier 1, Michaels and Fred Meyers. Off shore shipping makes buying VPH prohibative to me. There isn't any $5 S&H. So I am off to local stores.
Some of the items they show here you can pick up something similar in other B&M stores. Pier 1 just had 20% off ornaments and Christmas decor and there is no shipping. I find Pier1 pricey though.
Michaels is also another great place to pick up items and some you can make yourself!
I don't have a Fred Meyers but there are other nice stores like TJ Maxx and Homegoods that carry beautiful christmas decor at amazing prices.
Even Macys has a nice Holiday Lane Christmas shop with quality items and I wait until I can get a % off coupon just for this dept. I usually get a coupon from them everyyear and hope to get one soon before thanksgiving so I can get the best choices.
Good luck in your shopping! Sometimes there are better deals in the stores.
