I disagree with the viewpoint above. I have VPH lanterns and snow globes which are very well constructed.

I wasn't impressed with the candles but I did get the little crystal boxes that I think I'll love. I like many of her things. I can only imagine the headaches they're having trying to give us offerings when the supply demands are so wonky. I was really unimpressed with the things in the Martha Stewart show yesterday. I've got some beautiful things from her when she had her line at KMart years ago.

I can't believe the price of her items. They are WAY OVERPRICED and look TACKY. Better choices and better quality items can be found at TJ MAXX and MARSHALLS.

I have seen those candle things at my drug store. I can't believe anyone would put those things out, especially at an elegant table ! Her stuff has really gone downhill over the past few years. But sometimes in between the Umm, "less cute" items she has some cute things.

Wow. I just ordered a silver glitter candle and I hope it is better quality than a drugstore one. I loved the picture they had of the all white winter scene with the silver and I thought it would make a great highlight to the white deer and snow scene I am planning.

I am growing tired of battery operated items also, but it seems that sells is why so much is brought in. Plus, it is getting hard to find C-batteries in my stores and that is what runs so many items. I have mentioned many times before, less glitter is what I am going for. Wish vendors would go back to less glitter or "glistening" items. I brush it off if it is on them.

Checked out Amazon when I saw the price of the glitter candle from Valerie. Same thing for $10 less. There were also different styles of pedestals available. I have purchased items from VPH many years ago and recently. Her recent items are poor quality. Don’t last. So I don’t purchase any more of her items. High price and poor quality do not make for happy customers. 👎

I am going to have to check out Amazon more. And so much of what is sold on QVC in the holiday decorating line can be bought at Hobby Lobby for so much cheaper, especially when they get down to the 60%-80% off price. When we did not have a Hobby Lobby within our area I ordered so much from QVC. From now on, I will check out Amazon or E-Bay for an item before buying on the Q. I need to stop being such an impulse buyer and getting caught up in the moment when they are selling and everything looks so festive.

I was surprised when I watched some of her show. Her items used to be so good. Saved me some money.

You are welcome to disagree! We all have different opinions and tastes! We certainly aren't all going to like the same things!
