As you can imagine, when it came to packing up my vacation clothes and leave Florida I was in a wee bit of a pickle. While in the good old US of A I discovered and promptly fell head over heals in love with the amazing Williams Sonoma. Much to my friends dismay I spent hours browsing through the cake pans, raking through the cookie presses and drooling over the delicious pie fillings. They could have their roller coasters and water slides, I had pocket pie molds to buy!
So ridiculously excited was I to get home and play with my new toys that I spent the rest of the holiday dreaming about my lovely little kitchen and all the tasty things I could bake with my new found goodies. And what delighted me even more was I get to share it all with you. So, here we are with my ‘Awesome Things I Bought in America – Part One’. Are you excited? I sure am!
This was actually the last thing I bought before coming home. I mulled the purchase over for my full two weeks before returning to the mall to snap them up. The issue of forcing them into my already bulging suitcase is a whole other story.
I am in love with these cutters. Though I don’t think I’ve perfected the recipe yet, I had some issues with cracking and blistering and I feel I was a little too light on the stamping but the taste sure makes up for it. They are delicious! Among the best sugar cookies I have ever had the pleasure of eating. They can be emblazoned with anything your heart desires, from the traditional ‘I Love You’ to a cheeky ‘Bite Me’. Maybe this year I’ll substitute Christmas cards with personalised cookies.
That shop is amazing, I browse it online all the time and drool uncontrollably at all the loveliness. I'm planning a trip to Florida next year and I fully intend on dumping all my clothes and bringing home a suitcase full of cake pans and other kitcheny goodness! 🙂
Haha, honestly I did exactly that. I kept turning up in my friends bedrooms with sun dresses and sandals trying to palm them off :p Katie xox
I've LOVED these cutters for a while and I'm so jealous that you have them!!
Ahh Williams Sonoma! I'm the same and also drool over the online shop for hours. That cookie cutter is a great idea – it's be really cute as wedding favours with the couples names on them or something.
That's exactly what I was thinking. I may have to mock up some wedding favours this weekend :pKatie xox
I always leave room in my suitcase specifically to bring kitchen stuff home! 😉 Glad you had a great trip!I've never been to a williams-sonama but we were gifted a gorgeous set of their pasta dishes a few years back, which are very well used now! I don't think I would trust myself alone in a branch though judging by their website!!
I imagine a lot of us placed in your shoes would have done the exact same thing as you Katie. Can't wait to see what else you've returned with ;0)
They're so cool! What a fantastic buy.
What cute cookies! Those cutter must be fun to use.Cheers,Rosa
Love the cookies-they look so cute! I also love Williams Sonora and Sur La Table (I discovered both while I was in the USA)!
They are so cute. I've brought a few things back from the US too 😉
cute!
