I've always loved kitchen stuff, especially at Williams-Sonoma. Maybe it's because I grew up in Sonoma California, where the chain store first started as a little bitty housewares store in 1956.
Here's my latest kitchen purchase, two Christmas potholders, from Williams-Sonoma.
I'm obsessed with kitchens on Pinterest...but, that's not to say I'm a good cook. Far from it! Probably one out of five meals I cook are total fails. We eat out a lot, especially breakfast.
I plan to try to make their cookie recipe tonight. I like to bake when it's dark and cold outside. Don't worry, those pretty red potholders aren't in jeporady! I have some old black potholders in the drawer I can use to take the pan out of the oven. They have a little burn mark on them from heaven knows where.
Thanks for dropping by!
I love their stuff, too--and those pot holders are great-LOVE the floral one. I really need some new ones- mine are pretty bad. Thought I would pop in and say Hi-waiting for John to get ready to go for treatment. xo Diana
ReplyDeleteStill have my lights up Diana as I told you I would. When I see them I send healing thoughts towards John. I will keep them up til John is finished with his treatments and in recovery. Let him know their are lights shining brightly in Texas for him!
ReplyDeleteEverything looks so pretty!
ReplyDeleteI don't cook much either but I still like a nice kitchen.
I have a ton pinned on Pinterest!
The cookies I make come in a package and I just have to put them on the cookie sheet and bake. LOL!
I just checked the tracking number and they said your "package" was placed on your porch.
I hope you got it ok and that no one ran off with it! That always worries me when they do that at my house! But then again I live on a busy street. Hopefully you got it ok!
XOXOXO
Cindi, I just sent an email letting you know your painting arrived. I love it. Hope you get lots of orders for your work. I plan to feature it soon with a link to you.
DeleteTo put it bluntly, it's hard to beat Williams Sonoma. I feel so elegant when I shop there. I keep a stack of pot holders from the dollar store for everyday use. I think you should leave your new pretties out all year.
ReplyDeleteLinda, I love to walk thru their shops and imagine I could become a good cook with the right "tools". Not gonna happen, but a girl can dream.
DeleteLovely, and your cookies will probably be awesome. I've never gone out to breakfast, if I wasn't on a trip.
ReplyDeleteYour cookies look delicious. I like Williams/Sonoma too, just not the prices.
ReplyDeleteThose cookies are on the W-S website with the recipe. I did make the cookies last night and they were great. Not too sweet as some are these days.
DeleteOh your potholders are much too pretty to get stains on. No, I would keep them hanging right there so they can just continue to pretty up your kitchen.
ReplyDeleteI'll have to follow that link. I'm like the Cookie Monster when it comes to chocolate chip cookies. I've probably tried at least 5 or 6 cookie recipes down through the years and do you know what? I liked them all :D
Dee, be sure to try them, they were easy to make and turned out great.
DeleteThose potholders are way too pretty to use! I have a terrible looking bunch of potholders and dishrags. One day I'm going to put them all in the trash and buy new ones. I love your pot rack with the old kettle and colander. Cooking is least favorite thing to do!
ReplyDeleteI buy my dish towels at Sam's Club. They are terrific and so cheap.
DeleteYour new potholders are very pretty....I can't say I blame you for not wanting to use them! I'd probably leave them hanging all year too! I'll have to try the cookie recipe....I LOVE chocolate chip cookies :o)

I love to browse at Williams-Sonoma and sadly they closed my local store. I too have their cookbook, it is lovely.

ReplyDeleteI love to bake on rainy days, on snowy days, and dark days, too. I do wish we'd get a little snow!
ReplyDeletePlease drop by and say hello!
