@Pearlee, I just haven't seen anything new or different that QVC has offered on the Irish days in Belleek - it looks to me very same-old. And when I google "Belleek Lamp" there are a lot of choices from places other than QVC.

Life without Mexican food is no life at all

It is sad they cut it down. If they could make it 24 hours - even spread over the 2 channels that would be great. The worst thing though is most of the stuff I have seen before. Just clearance of stuff introduced years ago. They used to have some great craftsman type items. Now mostly sweaters and these products that tie 2 companies together like the Waterford-Connamablera (sp) candle holder and the Waterford-Inis $105 smell diffuser.

Very true about the lack of vendors, although my favorites are the Aran sweaters so I'm glad they still have those. As I posted earlier on this thread, many items were "not getting reordered" and very few were brought in new, so the handwriting is on the wall.

They used to have so many interesting vendors. Remember Dresden china was on?

And lots more Belleek.

When I see the Waterford crystal, all I can think is.....WHO BUYS THIS STUFF TODAY???

I have cut crystal in my TWO china closets ( one inherited from my Mom) that haven't seen use in 30 years or more. Dust collectors.People don't seem to want this decorational stuff any more.

Maybe it's cause I just cleaned out Mom's home and had a TON of decorational "junk" to get rid of. I hated to do it, but it was unused for years. No one needs huge sets of china and gew gaws..check out Limoges on E-bay some time...

When I need dishes again, I plan to buy REAL china ones off E-bay,.Limoges goes for a few bucks today, so it doesn't matter if they break. I'm single and careful. N o Chinese junk for me ( Temptations).....I will eat off fine china!!!!

I would never be so presumptuous as to tell others what they need or don't need to have.

I still give Waterford crystal for wedding gifts, just as my mother always used to do. The recipients always have loved receiving it and treat the pieces as special (I haven't bought any from QVC though).
