Normal pricing.

  VP line has always been pricey. I used to go to the outlet  in near Wilmington , De  where they had tons of VP  items for a much discounted price.

I agree wholeheartedly.  Her designs aren't out of the ordinary.  Shopping other places is wise.

Some one said "typical". I am not sure what that means, but I shop at Home Goods and Macy's, some at Hobby Lobby and Valerie prices are more expensive for similar items.

I have her three pumpkins, well two, now from last season. The small one fell, and broke into a million pieces. I found something similar at Hobby Lobby for under $10.00. Same filigree, almost the same color. I actually like the orange one from Hobby Lobby better.

I shop them all and think they all have their place.

One of my biggest complaints about stuff from HomeGoods is that they don't have timers for illuminated items. I just bought three beautiful ruby red illuminated pumpkins from HomeGoods and they don't have timers. I knew that going into them, but they were just so darn pretty. They were $20 each so three of them $60 around the same price as Val. Plus, the pain of remembering to turn them off and on each night. 

I bought an adorable haunted house at HomeGoods for $60 last week and it takes AAA batteries which don't last very long anyway and no timer. My work around was to buy the dummy electric batteries which added another $15 to the cost and then use a smart plug so it would be automatically off and on.

If you shop at HL, maybe not, but if you can't / don't go there, then not too expensive.  People have different taste and different disposable income.

@bellaartiste  I had to smile as I bought the three pumpkins in orange when they were first aired at similar price. My dog ran after a chipmonk over my front step and broke one and like you and am down to two.
