I was going to buy the white frosted, but then read Peter's description saying that they are blue when lit, thank you, Peter, and that I do not want, so did not buy. I wanted white for my red and white room/tree in the family room, blue would not work. I don't understand why it would be blue, except that her gingerbread houses looked blue also, so I never light them. Why wouldn't a white bulb be white or clear as they are for other items, I wonder.

Hi mousiegirl, I got the champagne ones last year and they are beautiful until you light them and then, they may as well all be called blue. I did notice that the red ones color stayed true when they showed them on air, if they were lit and I assume that they were. I used mine unlit because I hated that blue hue. But, if people can watch the video they will know that, hopefully. I asked Valerie last year about using the true or warm (I think) white in her items but I see they didn't change anything about that. These are beautiful unlit but we buy them to light, so it's a disappointment. I have read posts from people who love them.

The doves, snowballs, and picks are out for delivery today, so will post my opinion soon.

Mousie, I'm particularly interested in the quality of those snowballs, and whether or not they shed a lot. Thank you for all your input!

Hi Peter, I thought I'd mention to you that the snowballs are identical to the 6" set of three sparkle spheres that Valerie had last season. I have the white and I didn't have a lot of the beads shedding off. The 6" ones are as is for $25, H204396 and H203312 for regular $34.78. Some people complained about a lot of shedding but I didn't move mine around a lot so didn't experience a lot of that. Hopefully, Mousiegirl will confirm that they are the same. I also ordered the snowballs. I meant that the snowballs are made like the 6" but are, of course, smaller. :-)

Good for you. Hope you love the snowballs, I ordered them also. I ordered the doves today so it will be awhile before I get mine. Looking forward to your reviews.

Lucy, I ordered those 6" Snowballs in White last year, but I returned them because one of them didn't light. Also, I felt that the lights were too warm for a snowball look, and I think they were almost yellow. However, I don't think the yellowish lights would bother me too much if I ordered the sets in Silver this year. It just looked like yellow snowballs in last year's 6" white set. Sorry that I can't quote other posts. I'm working on my phone which doesn't give that option.

I used mine in a large basket with sugar pincones, ornaments and some of the small spheres Valerie had in the set of six so I didn't really notice the yellow color, I guess. I know we were always told not to eat yellow snow, probably reminded you of that. :-) I'm anxious to see the silver ones if they ever get here.
