I'm glad I ordered the set of 3 poinsettias when I did since they sold out...and not to return!

I am hoping to see a presentation on VPH's show in a couple of hours for the bottle brush trees. Even though I already ordered the champagne, still would like to see them in a show. They were presented at 1am, but no video...phooey! LOL


Speaking of white stuff, @Susan Louise, I was in Michaels the other day, and they had beautiful, white bottle brush trees.  They were about 14" tall.


Personally, I don't like the white bottle brush trees. I bought a set of Vickerman white bottle brush trees 2 years ago and only used them last year and wasn't crazy about the like...rather blah (I attached a pic below).

 

The sad part is I did originally give the trees a VERY high rating/review (H184609) back when I bought them in 2013...because they were perfectly shaped and well made. However, when I finally added them into vignettes, they just lost all of their impressiveness. This past Spring I donated both sets to charity...no joke!

 

Because of this, I don't like white bottle brush trees and prefer the bleached/vintage bottle brush trees like the 1st pic with the mantel (that pic is one I got online...not of our decor...I added it to my post as an example which I stated in that post) in this thread that has a creamy color to the trees...which is why I thought buying VPH's champagne trees would fit the bill.

@mousiegirl@PeterDM  Thank you guys. I will check out Michaels' this week. In the meantime, I think I will keep my order for val's trees and watch her show tonight. Hopefully will get a better look at them since no video is available.

Don't feel too bad. There are probably times when you can't find anything you like. I collect train ornaments. Some years I can't find any.

If you love Michaels you'll love the bonus coupon this week. Check it out they had one at Joanne's and I saved $9 more! Love Joanne's because they take all  coupons at one time.
