First of all, it's WAY too soon to retire HG. It's only been out for a year for heaven's sake! In addition, though, I have not heard one positive comment about this pattern. Which doesn't bode well for sales. The unfortunate reality is that if no one likes the pattern, then no one will purchase the products. And if no one purchases the products, then there is less $$ going to the Foundation. Poor POOR marketing move on VB's part.
