—————————————————————————————
In my fantasy kitchen/cooking world, there are several stores that I could spend the rest of my life in. No, really. Like, hide out under one of the large urns so as not to be discovered and make myself at home. For forever.
Since I live smack dab in the middle of Wisconsin, I don’t get the lavish opportunity to visit any of my favored kitchen/home stores very often. But when I do leave my neck of the woods and traverse the state to Chicago, Minneapolis or even far out west to Portland (where my in-laws live), I always make a point to stop somewhere and gaze and gawk at all the things I am mentally adding to my wish list.
Among the stores that I love, Williams-Sonoma, Pottery Barn and Crate & Barrel rank right up there. So today, I’m giving away TWO $100 gift cards to your store of choice from my favorite list of three. I’ll contact the winners and they can specify to which store they’d like to receive the gift card.
To enter, leave ONE comment on this very post telling me the #1 item topping your wish list right now (even if it isn’t kitchen/cooking related).
My top wish list item (dear husband, are you reading this??) is this glass drink dispenser from Pottery Barn. Major Love. Major.
I’ll announce the winners on this post probably right around Thursday morning when my favorite and final giveaway of the series will appear. Oh, I can’t wait!
{Giveaway sponsored by me. Sad as it is to admit, none of the three stores listed above have any stinking idea who I am. I’m off to mourn that knowledge…and pore over their catalog pages to add more delicious things to my wish list.}
How happy am I now that they all ship to the UK?
I love the Parker bowls at Crate & Barrel or any of the tea towels from Williams-Sonoma.
Awesome giveaway! A 35 mm lens is at the top of my wishlist, followed closely by a Kitchen Aid mixer. I want to be a better photographer AND a better cook. ; )
Le Creuset!
New stainless steel cookware!
As much as I hate to spend the money on them, we badly need some new knives in this kitchen. Something that actually cuts the vegetables, perhaps
.

I’m dying to get a rug to go over our wood floors. No more freezing feet in the morning!

I would love a Kitchen Aid Mixer!! I really enjoy baking and would like to have one in my kitchen. If not the KA Mixer, a Keurig coffee maker, for the hubby’s coffee needs, but mostly my tea addiction
I am re-doing one of our bathrooms right now and I would LOVE new hardware and linens for the bathroom….I have the paint, tile and accessories but the $$ ran out for hardware and towels that I found at PB!!
Patio Furniture!
A really nice roasting pan. It would make Thanksgiving SO much easier!

Kitchen Aid mixer attachment set!
Pasta Machine from Williams-Sonoma

Oh, that’s easy… a Blendtec blender!!!
I would love a le creuset!

Number One… Curtains for my windows! Soo not kitchen related, except for the fact that I want a curtain or two for my kitchen window…
One of those quick food thermometers!
A heavy-duty blender – we haven’t had a blender in nearly 20 years, and it would be nice to be able to whip up a margarita now and then. Or puree soups. Or make smoothies. Or, who am I kidding? Make Kahlua milkshakes!
I need a new couch! Completely not kitchen related except for the fact that you would be able to see the kitchen from the couch!!
A food processor would be wonderful! So many recipes call for mixing or chopping ingredients!
The thing that I need the most is a really nice set of pots and pans. My current set of pots and pans consists of a mishmash of brands (and not the really nice ones) that my mom picks up at garage sales.
Hand held mixer.

I am very much in need of a cast iron skillet. I’ve been thinking about getting one and since I started pondering this new potential aquisition I have been seeing the need in lots of recipes. Funny how that works.

My #1 wish is for an addition on our house. We are starting to work with architects, and are so excited about having more space for our family of four plus two big dogs! Of course, once the addition is complete, I will be hoping to shop for some new accessories for the house… but will probably be flat broke!
A dual salt box for the kitchen counter – 1 side for iodized salt and 1 side for kosher. I’m constantly pouring out way too much of the kosher salt! Great giveaway Mel – thanks!

A roul’pat or a thermapen thermometer. Thanks Mel!
My second-hand, tiny little stockpot is… well, old and tiny. But I don’t have the heart to replace it with something that fits within our (non-existant) budget. A WS stockpot, however, I think I could talk myself into…

I would love to have a nutri mill grinder. I have been hand grinding my wheat to make bread for the last year. I think its about time I had one.
The number one on my wish list is pie tins. My family loves pie and I would love to accommodate their wishes.
I’d love a great set of pans. I’m still using college-quality pans.
My number one item is definitely a KitchenAid Stand Mixer. Luckily my mom’s old stand mixer she got for her wedding that she gave me is still working, but that motor is about to give out. Please oh please help me out!

A new comforter, I’ve been searching for the perfect one for inspiration for redecorating my bedroom:)

I am lusting after the Calais dining chairs from Pottery Barn – a set of 8 in brushed oak/oatmeal linen, bitte!
