Happy Birthday HSN!

Submitted by Heidi Daus on July 2, 2012 – 9:15 PM17 Comments

Happy Birthday HSN!

Girls, can you believe that HSN is 35 years young this month? Some of you are too young to remember that The Home Shopping Network debuted with their first product: the Rival Electric Can Opener! Although it was a huge success because it made our lives so much easier, wouldn’t you rather be wearing jewelry than opening cans?

Since Mindy Grossman took the reigns, HSN has blossomed into a retail destination. With so many products catering to beauty, lifestyle, health and more, Mindy has coined the term “Boundaryless Retail,” which implies that with the power of technology, the customer’s shopping experience will be more exciting and engaging. In addition to incredible events crafted around blockbuster films, celebrity appearances and even mobile shopping applications, HSN in essence is the ultimate shopping experience.

I can personally attest to that and so can my credit card! Thank goodness for Flex-Pay! I returned home from my last visit to HSN to find three boxes on my doorstep containing a fabulous pair of summer wedges which I ordered from Vince Camuto. I also found a pair of what I call, my “Carmen Miranda” shoes. They are the Pedal Pushers from Poetic Licence! I LOVE THESE SHOES! My point is that I am not just a partner here at HSN, I am a devout customer. This is why I am so inspired to bring to the table what I would expect as a customer.

This next event could be the best batch of spectacular, sparkling, summer bling ever! My Queen Crab collection, The Octopus group and more are just the “BEACHY-EST”! Vegetarians not to worry, as I will also debut a whimsical bunch of radishes in a fabulous pin. Take note that this is a dot com item ladies, so you can ONLY find this on HSN.com!

Who was it that said in an old 1940’s film, “I simply adore radishes!” Can someone help me out here? Since this blog gets me in touch with my dear girls I expect to hear from you!

I will be traveling to the HSN studios for the very first time with my two grown up sons, Jim and Alexander, who have never seen what goes on behind the scenes. I cannot wait to introduce them to my HSN family.

Please watch on June 29th and July 1st as I will not see you until September.  What are your summer plans? Do post your pictures for me in your Heidi bling on Facebook! I love it!

Until then, much love,

Heidi xoxo

    Thank you for your fun and beautiful jewelry! I bought the Queen Crab ring especially for our summer trip to Ocean City, MD and Cape May, NJ. I wore it everyday. I love it! Now everytime I look at this special little crab ring, I have such happy memories of our vacation. My 27 year old daughter loves it too. I plan to buy her some of your Bridal Boutique jewelry. She just got engaged and is planning her wedding for next October (2013). I know I will get myself some pieces also.

    PLEASE tell me if you are planning a new earring pin set for us baseball fans!! I purchased the tennis ball earrings and racket pin for my sister who is a tennis tournament player and fan, but I LOVE baseball! I think the baseball earrings and baseball bat pin would just be sooooo cute! PLEASE respond.
    Thanks!

    Hi Heidi!

    My wife loves pineapples and palm trees, I call her pineapple princess and your pineapple necklace and earring set was perfect! She absolutely adores it! She looks beautiful wearing it also. You have amazing pieces.

    How about some palm tree themed items for next year? Continue the beach theme also as your pieces are gorgeous. I am anxious to make my wife happy filling up her jewel box with your beautiful pieces. I know where to shop now for gifts for my wife!

    flyfreeagle – you know me too well. A shrinking violet I am NOT! Hahaha! Thank you for your well wishes to my son Jim.

    Heidi, I just received my Byzantine bracelet a couple days ago and wanted to tell you that I can’t stop wearing it. My summer bag is a bright blue and I painted my nails to match so you can just imagine how the blue crystals “pop” on the Montana bracelet. I love how it goes with both rings and neclaces that I purchased of the Teared Tapesty collection (white and pistashio).Thanks for the thought you put into your designs to make them all mix and match. Wearing your pieces always makes me smile!

  • I was absolutely sick that I missed the special on the Snow White release and the dragonfly necklace. But I ended up getting 3 anyway, dragonflies are my fav. But I have a request for the future…
    I have many necklaces and some matching earrings. But to wear them together for everyday is TOO much. We need SETS of SIMPLE post earrings or french wire drops. Like a set of 14mm jewel tones, and a set of the purple/greens, etc. to wear w/ our collections.

    Hello Heidi! Had to take a minute to let you know I received my “Queen Crab” necklace and bracelet today and I am over the moon. This set is FABULOUS. I live in Northern California now and we have a big crab feast every Christmas Eve so I can’t wait to wear it then. I am originally from Southern Louisiana, and when I received the Crocodile jewelry suite awhile back I thought is was so awesome. You are truly the best!!! Bless you.

    Happy Birthday HSN. I am so happy to be part of the HSN customers. I remember CHuck when all had to do their own set ups. Thats a very long time ago. My first buy was cream by Aderianne, and little earings. Glad to celebrate with you. My credit cards show it. I love your show hosts. Some have been there for a very long time. Thanks for the great products you make available for us and flex pay.

  • jannilu says:

    My first “Heidi” purchase arrived today! I am in LOVE with my “critter” rings! I got your Heidi Long legs ring, and the Dragon ring!! Both of them AWSOME!! My first purchase but NOT my last! How about doing something featuring BATS?!!

  • flyfreeagle says:
