Mousiegirl, do you have a lot of Thomas Pacconi ornaments. When he first came to QVC he had so many beautiful items and each year my sister and I looked forward to his new offering of the 16" tabletop ornaments. Then he started with more and more and the quality diminshed, IMO, and I stopped buying them. I looked on ebay and see the prices are quite high. I haven't looked on Amazon.
I agree that the quality really diminished over time. Some of my ornament sets in the wooden boxes are now loosing their paint.

But I too, loved to watch him. I especially loved when he was on with David. Christopher Radko and David as well. I wish Q would get people like that back. Mr. Christmas stuff just doesn't do it for me (not that I don't have a few pieces of that too).

I have a lot of Radko ornaments, which is one reason I never bought Pacconi's.

mousegirl, there really is no comparison. The Radko were a true work of art, the Pacconi were just a way to get the look at an affordable price.

I think Radko sold out. Sad, nothing is what it used to be.

So true re both. So many wonderful botiques in my area have closed, and the one remaining in the area, closed a few months ago. At Christmas, the entire store was full of Christmas decor, trees, picks, wonderful decor, good for my credit card, but sad for me. There is still Macy's Christmas store.

As popular as he was with his family's business, I never bought one of their ornaments. I'm glad to hear he's happy with what he is doing now. My dad worked well into his 80's

I agree...the Mr Christmas stuff is cheap and cheesy in comparison to what Thomas Pacconi sold. I also miss seeing him and his products and am quite surprised to hear what he is doung these days. I wish him nothing but the best.

I did just email him asking about the Thomas Pacconi products and if we will ever see them produced again.

I just clicked on your link and there's no mention of Thomas Pacconi on this car dealer's staff page. Are you sure you got this correct?

@sueeich The previous poster @razalannod bumped this thread from July 2015. The OP may have been accurate a year ago and things may have changed with Mr. P since then.

I wrote about missing Thomas Pacconi's ornaments, then I saw your post and I was more than shocked. You complained about the quality of his products, then said you never bought any?? I have enough to start a store and everything I've purchased has been excellent quality. You then discussed Christopher Radko ornaments, as if he has gone out of business but I assure you, he's still selling and at very high prices, so expensive, I doubt that Macy's sells his pieces.

Perhaps you are very wealthy and only buy the best of everything, since you said that Thomas Pacconi's products were cheap. There are those of us, who need less expensive products but still want beautiful things and Thomas Pacconi gave us the Christmas cheer, we could afford.
Merry Christmas,
