So far, I haven't used the items since my Xmas tree isn't up. But I'll definitely be putting all of them on the tree. They're lovely. I purchased 3 of them last year and bought 5 this year, but received a refund for 1 that wasn't available. I've been purchasing Laurel Burch items for almost 40 years, back when they were sold at a booth at Serramonte. They are certainly a 'mood elevator' during dark times in one's life.
