What was the first Jim Shore you purchased from QVC?

For me it was Mornings New Light from 2003, which means I have been buying Jim Shore for 21 years.  Still love him.   How about you?

@raspberrygal I have that exact same lighthouse!   I love it.  I have several of his pieces but I'm pretty sure that was my first purchase from the line too!

I don't collect Jim Shore, but do admire a lot of his items and am always tempted. (Especially those beautiful Easter baskets...my favorite religious holiday.) But, I don't have enough room to "collect" things...and have enough for each holiday now...trying not to buy new without getting rid of something. That said...I did make one Jim Shore purchase, years ago...still have them, still put them out seasonally...

 

Was a seasonal set of 7, (about 7") angels...

Christmas, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Easter Mother's Day, 4th of July, Harvest. I still love them, enjoy putting them out each holiday/season.

 

**That reminds me....I have to get out my St. Patrick's Day angel! ☘️ 😇

I have purchased several Jim Shore pieces from QVC but I don't remember which one was first. I love them all.

I purchased two Patriotic Angels. I donated one to the Vet Center and I kept one.

I don't collect Jim Shore but I have a couple of his angels.  The first purchase was an angel.  Don't remember which one.  I still have them on the mantel at my office.

I probably bought my first Jim Shore in a store.  Then some on QVC.  Then I discovered his website.

 

If the same item is on QVC and his website, it seems QVC is higher for just the item.  On his website I usually order over $60 to get the free shipping.  Plus he gives points for purchases so every so often I will use a $10 credit.

 

I still collect his things and just ordered the 2nd Easter parade item this morning.

I have only 1 piece from his line..a Santa sleigh with oraments.

I will probably not purchase any more items, but I do like what I have.

I think I bought a Santa ornament. Several years ago I purchased an Easter basket w/eggs at a yard sale for $5.
