I have a couple of her items on my wish list.  I am not sure the videos of these items show the real deal or if it is how they are coming across on TV.  Any forum friends here who have these items & your thoughts as well?  Item# M51954 & #M55963 TIA!

I was wondering the same thing. My concern is do they collect dust?  Are they really outdoor  or do they collect mold, etc.?  I really like the look of them and I like the look of the color changing. Battery life is not stated too often. That's always a concern of mine.

@Fressa, did you watch the video presentations?  I love morphing, but I didn’t like how the morphing looked.  Even in the warm mode, the lighting didn’t look consistent.  Not sure if is the TV or how it actually is.

I did watch the video and I remember seeing this on air last garden season. This item is that "something different" that I'm always searching for to finish off the room, etc. I want to put it in my family room but I hestitate if this is going to eat batteries or be a nightmare to keep clean. I have a semi open floor plan and between the patio doors, fireplace, dogs, etc. I need items that can dusted. They look so nice but I'm trying to be careful with the battery operated items that I purchase. Thanks for your comments.

I've been on the fence about a lot of these sandstone items, too.  I wouldn't worry about them getting dusty.  They are indoor/outdoor, so you can always rinse them off in the sink.

@Fressa, @TenderMercies, I ordered the shell; my living room decor is Coastal.  Fingers crossed that I like it!  I will report back when I receive it.

I don't have either of those items, but I do have this from last year as-is.  I don't use it with batteries, just as a decorative piece.  I blow it off with the hair dryer every once in a while, but it doesn't really show dust.  I use it inside so I cannot speak to outside use.

@Marsha2003, I don’t know whether to thank you or not, these are offered again, lol!  I have the Dalia  on my wish list in case I totally love the shell when I get it later this week. Thanks for the hairdryer tip as well !

@Fressa, @TenderMercies, @Marsha2003,  I looooove this beautiful statement piece!  The shell is a substantial size, the morphing integrates the different colors adding to the charm of this!  This is a home run for me for my coastal decor!  The dust issue would be the least of my worries.  I am going to order more of Barbara King’s sandstone items!

I couldn't resist andy longer and ordered the lotus flower set. They are beautiful! There is a cover on the bottom to protect the battery case if you do use them outside. There seems to be a coating or smoothness to the outside of the candle. This answeres my mainatanece question. I have other stone pieces and some of them are rough to the touch. The lotus candles are a nice size. Hope this helps some of you decide.
