Since I love and adore Spring, I watched some of this visit. 

Sorry to say I found most of the offerings lacking. I don't like the wreath TSV at all. I recently purchased this wreath at Michaels and love it.

@Regal Bee...I love your wreath too!  So very pretty! 

I have a similar garland ...event the ribbon detail is similar ... that I purchased many years ago at a flower shop.  My Mom and I were waiting for a bus in front of a flower shop, returning from a shopping day downtown... we decided the garland was too pretty to leave behind just as we saw our bus appear in the distance.  I raced into the shop, paid for the garland and was back on the bus stop as the bus pulled up!  My Mom was prepared to stall it a bit, just in case!  We laughed the whole trip home! And we laughed every time I decorated with it in Springtime!

Thank you for sharing your beautiful wreath and for reminding me of that wonderful memory!

I haven't seen this presented or know if it was, but I'd really like to have two of them flanking my fireplace. This is about 3-feet tall. I think this is nice! But it would cost me over $100 for two.

I briefly saw the TSV on and was not impressed.  You can only own so much of that deco stuff.  I personally don't have the space for it.  I purchased a Christmas wreath from her and was very disappointed with how it looked and ended up donating it to Goodwill last year.

was at michaels today -- oh my if you love spring decor (flowers like your wreath) you're going to enjoy the selections they are offering at Michaels.

I also stopped at HL and found exactly what I wanted.  Best part 50% off all wreaths, garlands, & greenery.

The things at Joanne's werent out as yet.  I'll give it a couple of weeks before I hit the HomeGoods (which just opened near us in November.)

Your very sweet 'mamma and me' story reminds me of the antics my mother and I get into when we go out and about shopping for the day. 

I have many pleasant and funny memories like yours and will treasure them all my life!

@homedecor1  Oh, I love Michaels.

I live in a big city and have all the wonderful stores including HomeGoods, Michaels, TJ Maxx, Marshalls and on and on. I think this gives one a great advantage and I find so many wonderful bargains with NO shipping.

Valerie still has too much mercury glass and too many lit items for me. We are all different but all the items that light up do not speak to me for the long term.

I do think she is a delightful lady.

I have been disappointed today, with the heavy repeat of so much mercury glass as well.

I have some pedestals, but was hopping she was moving away from so much MG. It seemed that way at Christmas, but it is back in full force again today for sure. 

Boo for us!

I'm never clear if the Valerie items encompass the "You're Home with Jill" items?  Sometimes, at any rate, when you do a search for one, items of the other come up...

This spring candlestick of Jill's doesn't seem to show up on TV that much.  I probably would only use the hydrangea berry and bee pick that comes with it occasionally in the spring.  But the candlestick, with its rather heavy distressing, chalky finish, and sort of classical shape appeals to me, in spite of myself.  I usually don't go for things that are this frou-frou:
