We should be getting a Facebook preview from Valerie pretty soon, right? She usually drops them a couple days before her show.

 

I'm not on FB so please let us know if you do see a FB post.  The most recent ad I saw had several "new" items so I'm hoping they appear on Wednesday. I'm sure they will save some of them for the official CIJ weekend but seeing a preview would be fun.


Hi Peter & MTH,  I saw a preview of CIJ on the Q and I'm sure I saw some cloches with scenes.  They looked different than the ones we had last year.  I'm excited to see what's offered.

Ok Ladies:  I was watching today's Vionic's show and during that show they showed a preview of CIJ. .... For those of you that missed Valerie's cloche last year, I think you will be happy to know that it looks like there will be several more choices coming out this year.  


I should have read your post before I commented.  LOL  I'm getting ready for church so not  paying attention, I guess.  Have a great day down there.

Good Morning Lucy: That is so funny!!  But we are on the same page.  Looks like there were at least 3 new scenes I noticed on the cloches.  Not that I need another one, but I can't wait to see what they are up close.  Of course, it will remain to be seen if the timers work correctly...Ha ha ha...  As soon as I saw that ad, I knew you'd be interested.  JPC may want to check them out too.  Can't wait til Wednesday. Hoping for a sneak peak email soon tho.

Re: Christmas In July (New Thread).

In case you haven't seen it yet, Valerie's July 1 preview is here:

 

https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.857841067633516.1073741885.354428307974797&type=3

 

Nothing grabbed my attention immediately, but the Set of 5 Sparkle Spheres might be nice for me in Silver.  They look an awful lot like H203312, which is only a set of 3, and I've never seen them in Silver before, so maybe he made an error when posting that they were a set of five.

Thanks for the headsup Peter. I had not seen that. I didn't see an awful lot either except for the set of two reindeer.  I collect reindeer but I will need to see the presentation on them to decide for sure.  Didn't seem to be much info on the TSV other than "a surprise".   I'm wondering if we will have to wait a few more weeks for the cloches I saw on the commercial.

Hi MTH, If there's a Reindeer Cloche, I'm on it.  I made myself a Snowman scene last year and it's close to Valerie's so probably not looking for a snowman or Santa one.  She has new Reindeer that I will be after, Poinsettia ones.  Just type her name on Facebook and see her album, it's public so need to be a member.

Hi Lucy: I just went in thru DH's FB page and found the reindeer you are talking about. I like them too. Will have to see them during the presentation and how much they are.  I usually like some taller reindeer to put among myJS Santas.  You turned me onto some "as is" ones last year that I absolutely love.  Got them for 1/2 price and although I had to return one set and try another set, the second set came in perfect condition. Other than that, I really didn't see much of interest yet. Hoping for some additional items that haven't been shared yet.    

 

As for the cloches, I did not see a reindeer one.  They flashed so quickly but I think there was one with Christmas trees, one with children playing and one with either a GB house or a church. Wish I could have slowed it down but I didn't react fast enough.  Old age!!!

Re: Christmas In July (New Thread).

ugh, I was really hoping nothing would catch my eye.. lol.. Love the reindeer - they almost look like they are sugared. wonder if she will have anymore large GB houses again.. not that i need any haha.. I see the small ones and those are cute, but I remember everyone's issues with them last year so I don't think I would take a chance. I like the spheres, but to be honest I am all "sphered" out!!! Is all of this supposed to be offered this week, July 1st? I thought the big thing was the weekend of July 18-19th?? they starting early????

Hi Kel:  I guess Wednesday is called the "kick off" so I would imagine that there will be lots of things held back until the official weekend.  I also love the reindeer and from the commercial I saw yesterday, there were large GB houses shown as well as the new cloches.  I'm sure we will have some teasers about them, but still hoping Wednesday's TSV proves to be a good one just to get us in the mood....not that this group needs any help with that.

Re: Christmas In July (New Thread).

Hi MTH! - Thanks for the info! NEW GB houses??!! oh boy, i really hope I am not drawn to them, lol. I really need to think on the deer, how many sets do I need?  My problem is that our house is not THAT large, that I need to rotate my stuff out every other year. However, maybe I will get lucky and just want the deer and not see anything else! Can't wait to read the boards over the next couple of weeks - really miss the CIJ talk and what everyone else is interested in.
