I would have preferred someone like Alberti or Jayne Brown doing the Friday night Christmas decor shows.  I find them both underrated and underused.


Hands-down; Alberti has my vote.  Not that I am looking for a "LR transplant", but I love his "eye" & his sense of class he adds to every/any presentation he does.  LR has moved on & so have I.

I agree with the most recent comments of posters here. My original comment of "It's fine with me" was just that. I do not watch any shows on QVC except Valeries. So if Jill if doing a show, it is fine with me, because I don't watch them anyway. I only have watched a few minutes of one of her shows, and she seem to be proficient enough. Yes, she toots her own horn. From what I have seen, she seems to do her homework.

This comment is not about the host, but about the set. 

 

I will be interested in seeing how the huge white set will be decked out for the holiday shows this year.  When I watch, it looks like it's really difficult to fill up that huge set and have everything not look miniature and disjointed. 

 

That is how I feel about the YHJ shows done on that set.  The mantel or table may look great, but with the really wide shots, everything is just blah.  When Lisa had her decorating shows there, the set was decked out over-the-top, but it really paid off, I think, because it is what the huge set needed. 

 

Valerie's set is more cozy in appearance, and I guess that is why it appeals to me more, except when it is loaded up with too many shiny objects.

I really like this lantern.  I had to order it; to say I have gone lantern-crazy is an understatement...!  I'll report back after I "test-drive" it after I receive it.

I almost ordered that one, BornToShop. It's not the same ol' lantern -- I like it!  However, I spotted this one and purchased it:

@SHOPR  Well, if it's anything like Lisa Robertson's shows there will be several decorated trees around the set, no doubt done by Valerie and her team.  It may look very much like it did before because LR said Valerie helped.  That is if they devote the time and bring in the more upscale merchandise that Lisa showed us.  But I'm afraid it will be just another YHJ with a few of those items sprinkled in.  I guess we'll find out later in the season.  I'm getting ready to do pumpkins and orange leaves in the next week or so.

I love that look & especially the no candle obligation.  It is on my wishlist.  If I don't like the one coming, it will be going & this one will be coming my way soon.  Let me know how you like it when you get it!

@lucymo  Hi LUCYMO---unfortunately Jill made the comment that LR's style wasn't her style.....so I think the more elegant and sophisiticated style will be thrown to the curb, in favor of more of Your Home With Jill style---- What a shame because I would like to see some different types of styles---It should be what the CUSTOMER wants, not what Jill likes .... shouldn't it??????????????

Even though I always enjoyed Lisa's shows, she was just way too "elegant" for my taste!  I live in a modest house, not a page out of Southern Living or any other magazine, and I prefer more traditional and conservative decor, JMHO!Smiley Happy

@Spurt,  Hi Spurt, no doubt it will not matter what we want but in the end I won't be spending my money there.  Pier One, Hobby Lobby, Marshalls, TJ Maxx, here I come and of course a host of online sites.  I just can't see Jill Bauer presenting the kind of items that Lisa R. showed anyway.  I'm probably pretty much done shopping for the holidays now.  I have a few Harvest items on order but after that I think I'm done.  Need to use what I have stored away and it's a lot.  I could reasonably decorate the houses on my block.  LOL  How about you?
