so what is going on with temptations? hardly any new items for harvest, only the bowl and platter set. then christmas.....the whimsy bowls revamped with a pedestal and some accesories, the large christmas platter with 1 new baking scene. everything is being sent over to tara's online site. only new items are the metal cookware. i feel like shes bailing out of qvc.

After thousands of complaints,  it's more likely QVC is easing out of the contract with Tara,  not vice versa.

She's made everything except a kitchen sink.   I agree, QVC may want out.

I love Fiesta Ware.  I've been collecting it for over 20 years.  It's still made in the USA!

Re: Temp-tations

[ Edited ]

All good thins must end . . . and so must TempTations.  I don't know just how deeply involved in the bsiness QVC actually is, but short of outright ownership, I feel they are at the very least heavily committed to TT.  But though Floral Lace and Old World are probably her best sellers, neither appeals to me. I go back to Pyrex and Corning Ware (which I really like) every time.  For me, food always shows up better on white, and since there's no white in TT, I'm out.

Don't forget she started that direct sales company Tara At Home (think Scentsy, Avon, etc.).  Maybe her focus is on that right now.  Check out the website or the YouTube channel.  Lots of different stoneware items on there. Looks like a lot of solid colors and one with a rooster design. I know a lot of people have said they wanted a plain looking pattern.  There's where you'll find it.

THis next year should tell a lot about where the QVC/Temp-tations relationship is going.

 

There were no TSV's this year, and fewer shows in general (and the last few TSVs were dinnerware sets, which I found extremely repetitive). There were no new patterns or continuations of older ones in winter or holiday items (although there was quite a bit of new fall). I saw no Temp-tations home decor shows like they did last year. 

 

This could be a lull in things, as both Tara and Lisa were remarried this past summer, and she started her Tara at Home line, which took her on a cross country tour. We should know by July, if things will be picking up, or if this is the beginning of the fading out of this product line on Q.

 

IT wouldn't surprise me if Temp-tations takes a back seat, as I believe their sales are slipping at Q. They used to sell out of new items during the presentations, and I don't see that happen anymore. I think they have saturated the market, aren't bringing enough new to interest people, and then there are the ongoing quality issues.

On one of David's recent Sundays shows, she spoke of new items coming out next year. I was looking forward to seeing what they will be.
