@Mominohio Us long time customers of Temptations just do not buy much anymore as you only need so many casserole pans, platters, baking pans, bowls, etc etc etc., unless they were to come up with items that are not your everyday cookware, really what else is there to purchase?

I hear you!

I'd bet I have purchased thousands of pieces (if you break each set down into separate pieces) over the years, some for gifts and most for me. I collect multiple colors in multiple patterns and change out my dishes and bakewere/accessories at least four or five times per year. 

And I do go through times where I ask myself, 'what else is there to purchase' too! The she will come up with something so cute and different (like the measuring scoops or a new set of bowls (I have a 'thing' for the concentric bowl sets!),  or a really well done platter and I'm convinced I have to have it in at least a few of my patterns. 

I don't buy but a few pieces/sets per year anymore, because I don't need anymore bakers or sets. I'm mostly looking for those unique completer type pieces.

And I used to get taken in by new patterns, especially solid ones like Verona, Classico, or Vintage Grace, but she isn't adding to those, or I'd be buying more.

All I can say is someday, after my passing, some ladies are going to have a fun day at my estate sale!

I've been wondering that, too.  Colors are down to three or four choices on many items, and in late October the Harvest pattern almost isn't offered at all.

Is Tara phasing out Harvest (and other seasonal patterns), or is she planning to leave QVC altogether?

Her website isn't a lot better, either.

I am so glad that I splurged so many times in the past on Harvest items!

No!  Not Lisa!  To me, she's trying to be Tara.

I'm a bit ashamed to admit that I thought Tara and Lisa were the same person until I finally saw them together.

I don't have a lot of Temptations pieces, but the ones I have I do like very much.  I think the line needs to introduce a completely new pattern, something simpler and retro, perhaps.  My pieces are all floral lace, but some of her designs are a bit over the top.
