Re: Valeries wreaths getting smaller?

I haven't bought a Valerie wreath since the days she had the big full eucalyptus ones. They smelled so good, were so large and full, and I used them for years.

 

I'd love to find one like I had in my family room, but I can't imagine what it would cost now!

@corita, if I'm not mistaken, I recall seeing quite a few items on sale or clearance during the Christmas in July programs.  I wouldn't be surprised if Valerie's leftover products from last Christmas show up on sale in this summer's CIJ.

     Thanks to all who answered my question.  Though I generally really like Valerie's items, I have returned several.  Her prices have definitely gone up and the quality seems to have gone down on some items.  However, I am always looking for her products on sale.

H204847 is a beautiful, large wreath worth every $ purchased 2 of these "as is" they were both perfect.  I plan to send 1 to my sister who is moving into a new home.

@corita  The reason is probably because CHRISTMAS IN JULY is just around the corner...

Re: Valeries wreaths getting smaller?

I don't mind the smaller wreaths----the 18 inch fits my front door better than the larger ones.....and like someone else said the smaller ones can be used as candle rings or to surround a hurricanes and in other decor settings inside the home etc etc...And I would rather pay less for a smaller wreath (in the $30-$40 range) rather than having to pay $70 for a large wreath that I've seen out there in retail ---that's too much for me!!!

I got the series of AD wreaths Valerie offered several years ago.  They are so cute and colorful and still look great.  I use one every season.  I wish she'd do it again.


@Kachina624  I also purchased the set of AD wreaths from Valerie (not the ones from last time, but the time before)......wish she'd do it again.....I also make my own wreaths but even with sales at Hobby Lobby and Michaels I can't make it for the price she has....they were very nice and creative too!

I'm looking for a large 22 or 24 wreath for over my sofa. Wish Valerie had a show now.
