faeriemoon..I so agree - JUNK! I bought the round silver 3 size set of mercury glass at Christmas time..........I dumped them in the trash last week. After living with them for a couple of months I suddenly realized I felt embarrassed having them on display. (they looked 1940's).

VP is a nice lady and enjoys all that fussy decorating - but her taste isn't mine.

I'm short on storage space and these things take up so much room. If you use them, they really eat up the batteries. I've never taken the two smaller ones out of the box.

I finally saw a presentation of them during Jill's show. I think these would look cute around the edge of a bathtub. Still not buying though. LOL

I am a purist. I much prefer plain Mason Jars. I now store my dry goods, i.e., flour, sugar, oatmeal, flax seeds, etc., etc., in quart-size Mason Jars. It is a joy to open my cupboard doors to see everything lined up and neatly organized.

I do own some antique blue Mason Jars. A niece wants me to will them to her!

I was going to get them but I have so many lighted candles as it is and no place to put them. And as of now they don't fit my decor.

It doesn't get dark here until really late so outside nighttime décor is a waste to me. However I bought a set to tuck into the bookcase, corners, whatever.

Local Michael's Crafts store has an endcap display of blue, green mason jars and a book full of mason jar décor projects.

I thought it was mostly dark there this time of year. Do I have it backwards?

Why would you be missing something? You either like pretty twinkling things or you don't.

You don't have to like EVERYTHING QVC offers.

I was wondering if it was a new trend that I wasn't aware of… like the ducks I had all over my house in the 80s or the decoupage furniture of the 1990s.

I love mason jars, but I use simple ones that have a function. I've never seen twinkling ones. It seems to me that QVC is twinkle happy. I think they'd offer light up underwear if it was safe. Does everything have to light up?

I don't know, OP, but whatever it is, I'm missing it too...

I don't like the mason jars but I'm eyeing the coffee table in my living room right now and thinking a set of the spheres wouldn't look half bad on it.

I like twinkly, glowing things around my house.

as totally useless as the fake plants with lights that they occasionally sell! cmon ladies, acquire some taste!

I agree! So cheap and trashy looking. If you are into that kind of a look why not save some money and go to the Dollar Store. I'm sure they have the same type stuff but for a lot less money.

No, you have it right. I was thinking of summer which most of the hosts keep talking about.
