Hi Everyone, 

 

I have a confession *bows head in shame*...

 

As you all know, I have been stomping my feet for the past several months about not needing anymore decor for the next few years...even after I reorganized the decor in our basement just a few weeks ago. I kept saying I'm satisfied...no desire for anymore...need more spheres like another hole in my head too...HA!

 

EVEN stating a few days ago that the cloche is 'not my cup of tea'...

 

Oh the shame Woman Embarassed

 

Here goes...

I couldn't decide between the church and carolers TSV, so I got both (like Lucymo) and I ordered 2 sets of the 'silver' H205281 spheres. 

 

The TSV grew on me the longer I watched the presentations and I began to realize the silver spheres will look great mixed with the MG spheres and for soft lighting around vignettes.

 

Lordy Be, I hope I don't cut off the circulation in my hands when I try and sit on them during the rest of VPH's shows today Woman Tongue


It's ok, Susan Louise, we all understand how that happens.  I just took stock of Christmas decor yesterday afternoon and decided that I didn't need to buy anything and then without hesitation, I ordered two TSV.  I did, however, not buy the reindeer.  I've been eyeing the same spheres that tempted you to buy.  I did a basket of pinecones with spheres last year and it was so pretty.  I don't know if I'll cave or not on these. They look wonderful.

JPC is reading our posts and laughing uncontrolably at us being silly. lol  Well, I did cave and order the carolers cloche.  I'll use my large cloche and make a church one.  What are you leaning toward?

 

 

 


Hey lucy,

 

I am watching you.  My mommie told me not to hang out with people like you.  LOL.  You can get me in some big trouble.   But I have found there are a few just like you on this forum.  Love the cloches this year especially the size.  

 

Hope the timer works this year and if not be sure to try it backwards before sending it back.

 

Enjoy the shows today

 

JPC


Hey JPC, now you show up after MTH and I have already gone and ordered stuff.  We hoped you'd talk some sense into us, but, oh well, too late.  LOL  Did you get anything?  Cloche?  I got the carolers and the church.  I decided not to get the reindeer since I have so many already.  It's raining here in Mo today so good day for watching Christmas shows.


I think JPC purposely ignored us so that we would spend our $$. Lucy we can always deal with the reindeer again if they come back "as is" and maybe the reduced pricing will make us feel better about them.  

 

JPC:  Still holding onto that cloche?? I am.  In fact, now I find myself thinking about gift giving!!  Geez


MTH,  remember P1, HL and all those places who will also be tempting us with some awesome Christmas items.  Oh, and then there's the Harvest season.  OMG, I'm going to be in financial ruin.  JPC is caught up in this now so she's no longer able to help us get a grip.  I only watched Valerie's last show with one eye open and didn't buy a thing.  Smiley Wink


 

Did you have to mention P1, HL etc.  Now you've done it.!!!!


Well, you know me, always trying to be helpful.  Smiley Wink

Does everyone know that Valerie has shows on Saturday and Sunday?  I hope she brings more new items than what is on her face book page.  


Didn't realize that mousiegirl.  Sad that I won't be able to see either day.   Maybe she will be bringing "harvest" items those days.

 

You girls save some for me.

 

JPC


JPC, you know we will save something for you.  Christmas is all month, isn't it?


I don't see any Valerie shows this weekend.  Could Mousie mean the following weekend? or the CIJ weekend?

The frightening thing is, its only 9 a.m. here and I've already blowa hefty portion of my Christmas and holiday budget!  Its a good thing I bought all of my lights and outdoor decorations last year!! 

 

The sets are so pretty in the shows too.  I do wish I could have a tree but my dogs are just too unpredictable and there have been disasters in previous years when I tried to have one.  As long as I can decorate tables, walls, mantles and areas that are higher, things don't get tossed. 


Hi FSG, sounds like you've been "taking care of business" today.  I think the best of the best is shown on QVC in July, and that's when I buy most of mine.  You'll be glad that you have those nice cloches when gift giving comes around.  I love doing the tree, but our Yorkie doesn't bother it.  Shop on!  :-)

Re: Christmas In July (New Thread).

I'm rolling with giggles here imagining ordering with your chin!! Cat Wink

 

I so crazy, if I hadn't already bought the finials, after seeing them again right now, I'd order them again.  I never saw the presentation, I just ordered the champagne and white by the picture, who knew they lit up and looked different lighted?  Now I'm thinking I can't go wrong by ordering the blue for my SIL and the red for just for some color.  Woman Surprised I am so glad I'll be out of town for the remainder of the week and next week!  I've gotta get out of here before I order the whole store, so-to-speak!

I know.  You know, I debated on the doves because I think they will be really pretty for my winter scene I always make after Christmas.  Last year I went to Michael's and bought so many beautiful glitter winter white and lavender garlands that were 75% off so I think the doves will really go well with those. 

 

Funny you should ask!  You're channeling FSG's mind aren't you!?

 

I called my MIL down in Cali and told her to watch too and she found the mercury balls and once she saw you can put them in the garden, she ordered a bunch. 

 

Okay my friends, I'm gone.  I have to get packed and head out tonight.  Talk to you guys later. Thanks for enabling me and being fun and supportive,
