Watching Valerie

Oznell · ‎11-08-2014

Boy, I'm only able to catch bits and pieces of her shows today, and it's a good thing. I'm going to remind myself to curate my own cupboards and just watch and enjoy from afar!

Hoping VP brings back her quilts. GD took mine!

I'm so underwhelmed with everything and glad for it! LOL

I went online to look at all the 'new' and I certainly hope that throughout the year, they have much more, better and more variety in styles than what we are seeing today, considering this is a big 25th anniversary year!

I'm beginning the process of sorting through all the stuff I have, donating and remaking my various vignettes, so that probably is curbing my desire to buy and love new things too.

I'll also admit I don't favor spring decor. I just never cared for it or the colors it is usually offered in.

And then there is that spending diet I've put myself on.......

It sure looks "springy" around there!

As I'n not a fan of mercury glass there is very little that I find interesting anymore from VPH.

Keep wanting to tell you love your avatar. Memories growing up nesting bowls of colors. Best of times.

I wish QVC would bring back real quilts in general!

What is passing today as a quilt here and many other places just doesn't cut it for me.

I like pieced quilts, appliqued quilts, beautiful old fashioned quilts, and they either aren't found or are cheaply constructed these days.

A lot of what is out there today is a single piece of printed fabric with some stitching throughout and doesn't even resemble what once was called a quilt.

If I remember correctly, Valerie used to do a lot in toile, including throws and quilts, and they were so pretty! That kind of once piece quilt I do love!

Thanks!

I have the original set that was my grandmother's, then my mother's, and now mine.

I use them every year to make our Christmas cookies, and mostly just display them the rest of the year.

I love the connection to the past that handed down kitchen items create. I always feel like I'm cooking/baking with those women when I'm in the kitchen with those old loved pieces.

I am still in the process of taking down all the Christmas decorations. :-( I don't think I will ever get done! I am taking my time and trying to toss what needs to be tossed and donate a lot of other items I don't need or just have too much of it. I am on a self imposed spending freeze until I purge what I already have.

The TSV wreaths are really not my style or colors. There are so many florist and gift shops around in my area, I can find something lovely for the same or less price I love VPH and a lot of her items. I only change out my indoor decor for winter. I use a woodland theme that works just fine with Thanksgiving and then I change out some of the items to reflect the Christmas season. I have purchased many of her Christmas ornaments, angels, and candle holders and love them all. If you are getting the TSV, enjoy!
